Nice to see Forest promoted. It's been a while. Steve Cooper did a great job running the Liverpool Academy and great to see he can manage men too! Will be a very hard task to stay up. Not sure about Fulham and Bournemouth either.

Yeah, aside from Southampton I don't think there's any obvious candidates for existing sides who are going to struggle. Maybe Leeds again.

I think there are questions about Everton with Uzmanov’s money tied up in sanctions. It will be interesting to see whether Palace will keep up with Viera’s ambitions in terms of investment. Villa will need to spend serous money too, not convinced by them this year, but the indications are there that they will.

Mané leaving Liverpool

3 finals, 0 goals, 31 this year, not a ultimate team player, sulker, afcon after effects, very good player, 200+ goals in 6 seasons, wants the big payday and to not be second fiddle. Ask how thats worked out from others (Wynaldum, Can, Coutinho, etc.). He should do well in Bundesliga. Looks like Dembele is first choice replacement.

big payday is probably nothimg he can get in the bundesliga, not even from Bayern.. Main problem is, that he plays a position where beyern is stacked but if Gnabry leaves Bayern that make room for him. rumours in the moment are that lfc and bayern do not agree on the transfer fee
 
Yesterday was a good day for football out my parts. In the morning took my kid to his football classes. While there I decided to buy an extra ticket and take him to the Galaxy game. My wife was going to hang out with her sister so it was either take him to the game or have him on the iPad most of the day.

Off we went. It was a great game they cam back for 1 down to end the game 4-1. Some great team goals. The man of the match was a young substitute for Serbian, Dejan Joveljić. 2 goals and two assists. The assists we almost better than the goals. One of them being a Overhead kick.

But that wasn’t the best part. My friend and his kid were goi g to wait after the game because there were doing a meet a greet with a unknown player. I decided to wait around for with my friend. The kids keeping each other occupied chasing each other around.

When the brought out the player, it was Dejan! Everyone cheered. After waiting in line we got to meet him. When I went up to him I teased him a bit. Said his assists were almost better than his goals and asked him if he knew the other player was there for the Overhead kick. He said yes but it was so stilted that I don’t think he understood I was teasing him. Maybe it was the direct Eastern European temperament or just unfamiliarity with More informal American culture. But it made me laugh. Oh and we got his autograph on a card as well as the new home kit.


Here are the highlights if anyone wants to see them.

Peter Drury replaces Arlo White for NBC's Premier League games

Arguably the world's best soccer commentator is heading to NBC Sports. The Daily Mail first reported the news that Peter Drury is replacing Arlo White as the lead commentator for NBC's coverage of the Premier League. Subsequently, sources to World Soccer Talk confirmed the report is accurate...

I'll be sorry to see White go tbh. I liked his more level headed approach to commentary. Drury is more excitable but leans a lot on screaming the players full name as they take a shot. '....aaaannd Harry Kane' for eg. Drives me bonkers 😵‍💫
