European soccer is back in Charlotte

Big whoop.  No one worth a tinker’s cuss will be playing a week after the WC Final.  The ineptitude of local government after and during the riots and HB2 to allow Nashville to have a game instead of CLT last year and use that as a springboard to MLS over CLT goes beyond words.

Top flight English football is a pale shadow of what it was. German football is much worthier of respect.

Regardless, you have to be pretty footie starved to give up your time to watch a preseason friendly nowadays.

EPL is the most competitive league because it’s the most rich league so even average EPL teams can buy above average players.  Dortmund top players from the times Dortmund was relevant now play in England.  Both Aubameyang and Mkitaryan play for Arsenal.

Yeah I assumed that was the criteria you were using to come to that conclusion. In your defense many people would agree. It’s just sad for me because I followed English football before the premier League. In those days the league was competitive because you couldn’t buy success. Clearly that’s changed and the national team is absolutely pathetic these days because of it. I’m glad that people still enjoy the product but it’s not for me anymore.

Before Real Madrid and Barcelona bought all super stars.  Not the case anymore.  Now players pick EPL over LaLiga.

I think we’re having two parallel conversations here.

But by the way you’re wrong. Messi and Ronaldo are clearly the 2 best players in the world and have been for sometime. La Liga.

 If you know anything about England you will know that South American players rarely excel there and frequently can’t deal with the weather.

But I’m glad you think so highly of it.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
