Chicago is a bad team and Schweinsteiger going there makes zero sense from an on field perspective. This is the exact type of move every decently run MLS club has been trending away from in the last 4 - 5 years.

Guarantee you we make the playoffs. We are much improved. I know we got washed by ATL this past weekend, but this move signifies that the front office is finally spending the money to try and improve the team and it's outlook.
 
Atlanta United exercised the buy option on Josef Martinez deal from Torino he here to stay [emoji]128526[/emoji]

That's a bold guarantee but you guys are definitely improved. FO hasn't had a clue for years though, and Schweinsteiger is just the latest in a long history of questionable decisions. I guarantee that wasn't Veljko Paunovic's signing. 

You guys went out and acquired two really really solid deep lying, defensive minded, CM's in their primes in Juninho and Dax. They didn't come particularly cheap either, but the value is definitely there. Then you go out and make a washed Schweinsteiger a top 10 highest paid player in the league?

It's just not a rational signing. It means you either have sit Juninho or Dax, or masquerade a 32yo Schweinsteiger around as a 10 playing out of position in a more advanced role in an incredibly athletic and physically taxing MLS, which is 99% what's going to happen. Good luck with that. 

Should have gone out and spent smart $ on a young DP from South America like Atlanta United did, or Seattle last summer. Brought in a creative playmaker or dynamic attacker too sit above Dax and Juninho and feed Nikolic and Accam.

Instead your FO blew a Giovinco sized money bag on a old legend with a zillion miles on his legs to likely play him out of position in a role he doesn't have the youth for. Could have signed a Josef Martinez and a Miguel Almiron this summer for the money you spent sell Schweinsteiger shirts for a season.

Laca and Griez would be :x (even though gameiro holds his own) if it keeps antoine at atleti, im all for it #KeepAtletiGreat
 
@MessiMinutes Spanish paper @superdeporte_es say Arsenal are considering an €3n offer for (#CazorlaRegen) 21 year old Malaga midfielder Pablo Fornals.
Taking this with a grain of salt. Apparently we're interested in Goretzka. Nothing like transfer rumors during a rough patch. Our yearly, AW will have a war chest for the summer story is making it's rounds.
 
great post. i need to make more of an effort to watch the bundesliga too.   They really do have a factory of football of players. 

Thanks. It's really impressive what they have done. England and other countries can certainly learn a thing or two from them. I try to watch the Bendesliga as much as possible, I just wish Fox's coverage was better.
 
chicago signing bastian is dumb, like already stated they just spent good money on two mid's unless youre planning a formation change the move makes no sense unless dax or juninho can play cam or on the wing, the fire have needed defensive help since they lost anibaba and berry its been YEARS, i actually feel bad for him coming here, i have a spot in my heart for this team but this team are an embarrassment their attendance stinks, their owner stinks, the team stinks, they dont even play in chicago, they need to stop messing around and spend huge on someone that will draw a local audience a young or in their prime mexican player that can make a difference right away
 
89 Euros, fam. Couldn't even believe it. $100 for that seat blows my mind as an American. I don't even $100 gets you seats that close to Chicago Fire matches.

How difficult was it to buy the tickets? Did you buy them way in advance? I want to go to a game in the Camp Nou next year and I want to be sure that I am able to score some decent tickets.
 
anyone heard any rumors about where the manchester united / man city game will be at here in the states?
I hope its Century Link in Seattle, they basically have all of the USA covered besides the PNW and we are soccer crazy up here. Will draw plenty of people from Portland/OR and the Canadians from up north in Vancouver.

Been saying this for years. Still have some of their channels in Standard Definition :x

If you dont know much of the German youth its a boring league IMO. No star power besides Bayern/BVB/Bayer.

Fox also screwed us over with airing Nascar, Mid major college football, and whatever type of racing sometimes over some famous German derbies and matches. It completely blew me off and made me hate Fox's effort.
 
This thread always dies during the Intl. break :(

I don't know bout all that....USA and Mexico play, and this thread jumps out the window :{

I don't even even need to know they're playing, just looking at the number of new posts in such a short span of time tells me it's USA v Mexico. :lol
 
I hate international breaks during the season.

Only thing they are "good" for, is players getting injured

When the schedule comes out you can go on the FCB website, click tickets and request to be notified when the game you want to attend goes on sale. The tickets go on sale at 9 or 10am local time so it's early hours in the states
