[Lineker]

Goalkeeper's reaction makes it.

[Tits McGee]

beast. Martins likes when Dempsey isn't around.

[HailtotheYo]

I love Oba

QPR are stating they want Cesar back after the World Cup ...

[Toe]

I don't think many people thought Cesar would remain after the World Cup, anyway.

[GoGo Yubari]

TFC has Bendik anyway, it's not like they're fucked on the GK front if Cesar doesn't come back.

[HailtotheYo]

Robinho now popping up in Orlando City rumors.

[HailtotheYo]

According to my sources in Spain, #AtleticoMadrid striker David Villa is indeed coming to #NYCFC on a 3 year deal. #MLS

Well hello there.

[HailtotheYo]

Source also says Xavi is in the pipeline, with Mix Diskerud as a "secondary option". #NYCFC #MLS

aaaand now Brek Shea is set to have a 10 day "training" stint with Orlando City (their GM is his former agent). NYRB and COL also showing interest.

[GoGo Yubari]

Villa would be a great marquee signing for NYCFC.

US Open Cup news! Round three went down last night, some fun upsets with three amateur teams making it into round 4 to take on MLS teams. The round 4 matches are:

Rochester Rhinos vs. DC United

Harrisburg City Islanderrs vs. Philadelphia Union

Richmond Kickers vs. New England Revolution

Pittsburgh Riverhounds vs. Chicago Fire

Carolina Railhawks vs. Chivas USA

Atlanta Silverhawks vs. Real Salt Lake

Orlando City U23s vs. Portland Timbers

Indy Eleven vs. Columbus Crew

Laredo Heat (who took down Ft. Lauderdale. SORRY ORO) vs. Houston Dynamo

San Antonio Scorpions vs. FC Dallas

Minnesota United vs. Sporting Kansas City

Arizona United vs. LA Galaxy

Sacramento Republic vs. San Jose Earthquakes

PSA Elite vs. Seattle Sounders (so excited for this game because it means my first US Open Cup game at Starfire, which is supposed to be an incredible atmosphere)

and the marquee matchup of this round, New York Cosmos vs. New York Red Bulls. That should be interesting.

[HailtotheYo]

Update on Villa to #NYCFC: will be signed this summer, will be loaned until January.

^ I really hope this is all true. As you said, he'd be fantastic. CCL GROUPS !!!!!

Group 1: CD Pachuca (Mexico), Real España (Honduras), CSD Municipal (Guatemala) Group 2: Sporting Kansas City (US), Saprissa (Costa Rica), Real Estelí (Nicaragua) Group 3: New York Red Bulls (US), Montreal Impact/Toronto FC (Canada), Club Deportivo FAS (El Salvador) Group 4: Tauro FC (Panama), D.C. United (US), Waterhouse FC (Jamaica) Group 5: CD Olimpia (Honduras), Portland Timbers (US), Alpha United FC (Guyana) Group 6: Alajuelense (Costa Rica), Cruz Azul (Mexico), Chorrillo FC (Panama) Group 7: Club León (Mexico), Isidro Metapán (El Salvador), Belmopan Bandits (Belize) Group 8: Comunicaciones FC (Guatemala), Club América (Mexico), Puerto Rico Bayamon FC (Puerto Rico)

DCU gets a very kind draw, NYRB/Canada got hosed, Portland has a fighting chance, and Pachuca has a real danger of not advancing. Oh, and amid the reports about Brek Shea and TFC/everyone else, it has been mentioned that Joe Cole was told "no thanks" by TFC and is now in contact with Orlando.

[HailtotheYo]

Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Lampard is getting interest from NYCFC.

[HailtotheYo]

Seattle makes RSL look silly today. Wow.

[GoGo Yubari]

Eh, not really "wow." RSL got hit the worst by call-ups and injuries; take away Rimando, Beckerman, Saborio, and Plata and they're pretty average. Take away Dempsey and Yedlin and you've got a team that's deep enough to have Kenny Cooper still only first off the bench.

Laredo Heat (who took down Ft. Lauderdale. SORRY ORO)

Yeah, this turned out to be a week of the referees deciding to fuck us over even more than usual.

At least we did better than Tampa Bay this year

[Lineker]

David Beckham has hinted he may resume his playing career with his Miami franchise.

[Rafael]

Player-owner. That's cool.

[EddieG]

.. in what, 3 years from now? :/
