Tata Martino will be Barcelona's next coach. Will sign for 3 years and brings two of his staff from Newell's. Can't wait to see what he brings to the club.

I hope you're right Lucho. I'd much prefer Tata over Hiddink...

Phew, so glad Tata was hired over Hiddink & Enrique. I think Hiddink would've been a disaster hire. Enrique experienced some success with the Barca B squad but his Roma tenure was a borderline disaster (even though it wasn't the easiest job he inherited).
Glad to see Rene Meulensteen get a managing job (succeeding Hiddink at Anzhi). I always respected his teaching ability. He came over to the states from time to time running camps.
This begs to question, would Neymar have signed with Barca had this occurred beforehand? I think Neymar will do well playing for Tata though. Everything I've read suggests that Tata is a great teacher in addition to being a solid manager prospect. Looking forward to the upcoming season.
Get well soon Tito. You will be missed.

Letter from Thiago to Barca, penyes, socios, cules, & Tito.
It will be fun watching him play for Pep's Bayern side.

I always like when players do stuff like this or take out billboards/ newspaper ads to show their appreciation for their former teams if they were there a while

Until they had to ruin it with player names in Comic Sans.

Another preseason win for us, a nice amount of positives from this match
Zelalem, once again stood out. Kid is natural
It was good to finally see Aneke in his regular position. I guess Wenger was trying to build up his defensive attributes or lack of for that matter. Probably why he also played Olsson at RB the last game.
@BrazilStats BREAKING - Famous Belo Horizonte based journalist L.Siquiera has just confirmed #AFC have captured Bernard for £22M. Announcement Thursday.
Edit: Didn't see that Psk posted a highlight video. But yea I love those kits as well. I would def cop one

I don't mind the comic-sans at all. It's weird but its unique. It won't last anyways, they'll be another new kit prototype in like 7 months. Lol
However I do think La Liga needs to copy what the Premier League did and use official numbers for every team. It's classier.
I wish Real used more of the colors from there crest - on there jerseys. They never use purple or gold together - it's a shame, they have such great colors to choose from.

From what I've read, he's similar to Santi. Two footed, can play out on the wings and also centrally. Intelligent on and off the ball. Good dribbled, creative and can also score. I've only seen one video of him. Talented but I haven't since enough to warrant the price. Santi plays better out wide and a fit Rosicky can still provide much when at CAM. It also seems that he wants to use OX more centrally. All plays who can play out wide and centrally. But with Gervinho who seems to be on his way out, another winger would be needed to replace him.
They really have. I'm just hoping the US can lock them down but that's no walk in the park when you're going up against Germany. Apparently JK has talked a lot of Zelalem but he hasn't received his US passport yet. And I think his dad wants him to play for Germany.
I read about that too, well saw an article title. I just chalked it up as a rumor right away

The only way they would come to play for the USNT is if they can't get any playing time for Germany. If they want to further their development, they'd be best suited to stay overseas.
I like what Klinsmann is doing, but we're not close to being able to compete for WC or offer the technical/tactical skills clubs & NTs abroad can offer.

Well of course but it's all wishful thinking
and at this rate, if all goes well, they'll certainly have a chance. But not even just the WC but also the Euro's as well. Has anyone come across a list of German-American players playing in Europe, mainly the Bundesliga?
