The only thing worse was the defending by the US. Just plain horrible. Midfield wasn't much better. They gave CR all the room they wanted and then some.

wow... i know US has a terrible record with games at CR but this was just ridiculous

what's people's take on kaka's move? For Milan I think it is the best time to sell him. They will not be going anywhere next year without or without him... might as well make some money off of him with Real's president switch and willingness to buy at high. Good news for dinho is he wants to make his move back into playing form (also doesn't have to share the midfield with becks).
Barca needs to do some reinforcement... sell henry this year and eto next year. Get any money for Hleb and keep Gudjohnson if he will stay. I'd like to see a new GK but no one really good is available right now. If yaya wants to leave get mascherano. don't get fabregas or tez and don't know why pep wants toni... they should go for villa or benzema

also, what are people's thoughts on confederation cup? US has a tough group!

I hope they buy the diver so he can fit in the fairy league... haha I think kaka will do well, and that AC will not be the same, PATO is already talking about leaving. He could come join my side... I'd be fine with Masch leaving, running Gerrard and Alonso in the middle and then Pato and Torres up top? Deadly I think? yes.
