Boo

Local lady. Apparently she made comments the team didn't like. And none of the players are too happy with the team management. Isn't this league bound to go bust soon?

All goals against Man U are awesome.

I thought this one was somewhat stable. Playing at the Soccerplex is probably a better business plan (ie, closer to the target market) than RFK was under the previous model.

Not comments per se but she apparently was behind the players statement in support of Rapinoe.

Espcially if they come from....

I was here earlier watchin' ManU and a team I had never heard of before. Playin' in Istanbul yet. I'm familiar with ManU but have no idea where the other team is from (Turkey?). I enjoyed the hell out of watching a world class match after a day on the links. Nice.

Took me a while also to figure--yes Istanbul I believe. Two spectacular goals for that side. I won't attempt to spell their name.

I'm used to the Premier League .... quite a different atmosphere. Loved it. Would they have to play it in W. Istanbul to be eligible for UEFA ?

Me too. I don't think they were hookahs.

They had to smoke because probably no alcohol.

Turkey's a little more loose. Of course, it's dicey there now as well.

I saw a few women in the stands but nowhere near as many as you might see in England or here.

I'm stoked. Haven't even glanced over the roster or starting lineups yet though

BrandonK · « **Reply #142:** November 11, 2016, 11:52:44 AM »

Hoping the Hershey boy starts, and only Jozy (ugh) sits up top. Jurgen's already announced Timmy is playing keeper, but that's it.

mitlen · « **Reply #143:** November 11, 2016, 08:21:06 PM »

Gettin' a bit pushy.

Tell me again, why do they have a woody for Bradley?

NABF either

Bradley.

This roster has a ton of crappy players. Brutal. Bradley is overrated. Jozy and Wood are garbage in any real competition. Luckily there's Yedlin, Brooks, Pulisic, and more young bucks coming up. Can't wait to start getting these washed up guys out of PT

Hey man. I've had enough of the politics thread... Thanks, Obama.
