Yanks Abroad

I was looking forward to making a 'Napoleon's Waterloo' and 'Edson's Westerlo' joke, but C'est la vie :techie-hiding:

 

Very skeptical, but he did get pretty damn lucky to end up w/Sigi. bscene-drinkingdrunk: Drink up EJ, because you've pulled up a stool at the Last Chance Saloon.


Leeds have hired Warnock, what that means for Rogers is anyone's guess, but being a purchase of the former regime isn't the best position to be in.

 

Scary debut for Robbie Rodgers at Leeds. Came in as a sub and had a head-to-head collision with a Doncaster player and was carried off on a stretcher. Have been looking around and it sounds like he was knocked out for a little bit.

 

Grant Wahl tweeted that the only one who wanted EJ was Colorado and that no one else should. Wonder why he's so harsh. I know he's made mistakes lately but I'm still surprised by that. Agree Joe, Sigi is a good coach for him; I hope he can help him get his career back on track. As soon as he starts doing well the nazi-like fans in Seattle will embrace him. I read his salary will be 1/4 of what it would have been if he signed with MLS last summer.

 

Leeds came back from a 0-2 halftime deficit to win 3-2. Warnock talked to the team at halftime. Winning goal was scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time which existed because of Roger's injury. Does that qualify as helping the team? Robbie had a sense of humor about getting knocked out but I''m sure Twellman will have some serious words with him about concussions. I take it as a good sign for Rogers that he made his debut in this comeback victory. I guess Warnock was on the phone during the match and as I said talked to the team at halftime so he had to have approved of bringing Robbie on.

Really hope the concussion doesnt keep Robbie out of action for long.

 

Any word on Gooch's knee injury? Apparently his right (previously uninjured knee) knee took a knock and he went off this weekend.

Gooch needs surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right knee and is expected to be out two months. Horrible luck for the big guy.

 

That sucks. I hope he has a successful procedure and recovery. Was in recent good form, too.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Not again. :crying-yellow: :crying-yellow: :crying-yellow: :crying-blue: :crying-blue: :crying-blue: :crying-blue:

 

Uber was redein sie Don? Glauben sie, dass Jurgen mag nur Deutschen?


Gotta love the free english to german translation on Google (unless of course, instead of facetiously asking HD if Jurgen only likes Germans I accidentally asked him if Jurgen likes only german danishes :shock: _ )

 

A good Saturday for Yanks across Europe.

- Jozy started and scored in AZ's 3-1 win.

- Matt Taylor scored twice for Paderborn in Germany's 2. Bundesliga -> http://www.socceroverthere.com/?p=8485

- Jermaine Jones had a nice through ball/assist for Schalke, but they lost 2-1 (4:00 mark).

- Andrew Wooten (another German-American who has been dominating in the German Regionalliga alongside Terrence Boyd) made his first team debut with Kaiserslautern today.

- Tristan Bowen (SV Roeselare) and Devann Yao (Boussu Dour Borinage) both scored goals for their respective teams in the Belgian Second Division.

 

Even though he doesn't fit in w/JK's system Hercules Gomez keeps scoring for Santos down in Mexico and has to be considered a viable option to make the team.
