How so? I've only gotten to watch one game so far this season, so I wouldn't know.

It isn't really a knock on Kei per say.

He is an incredible athlete. Just a world class amazing athlete and he does so many things well but his finishing is not good enough and it cost us. He isn't selfish but his presence makes too much of the offense flow through him.

This year the team is gelling a lil better on offense and they are being more creative and making more combinations instead of relying on Kei to beat someone with his athleticism...we have also seen a decrease in chances not being converted.

I watch a lot of Bunseliga.

I would say that KC would fit in the lower middle there.

That's interesting. I'll look out for this. :thumb:

This is a funny question because Bundesliga is the only league I really like to follow really closely other than my hometown guys. It is ****ing incredible out there. Competitive attractive soccer...supporter owned teams with amazing atmosphere. Good shit.

I am really pulling for a FCB vs BVB UEFA final.

With Pep leading Bayern next season, I think FCB is going to be the next Barca for 3 or 4 years to come.

A BVB v FCB final would be incredible.

I attended a few games for Bayern.

I learned recently that German soccer leagues (all 3) have the highest attendance rate in Europe.

I know, there has been just way too much Barca bandwagoners that annoy the shit out of me.

I think Barca plays good football, but without Messi, they are not much, especially after Pep's departure.

Been a Bayern fan since 1990's, last year's loss against Chelsea was actually worse than the one vs MAN U in 1999.

Yeah I really like Messi, but as a whole Barcelona annoy me too. It'd be good to have a German team in the final, let alone two.

That come back for BvB against Malaga was incredible.

Oh, to be in the yellow wall of Borussia Dortmund that night.

whelp...I lost the pissing contest. We were looking at standings and size of stadiums. N. Korea has the largest stadium...150K ppl.

Then she discribed that in Germany...they have 20 clubs. They cherry pick the best players to be on the German team. England the same...et al.

Sporting KC (to which she asked me, what the heck name is that) is one of the "clubs" in the US. Similar to Germany/UK/Brazil etc.

I was under the assumtion that Sporting KC was a top flight soccer team. It is. In the US. A top flight "club" in the US.

Now I understand that all countries gather their best players from all clubs to come up with a "National" team. Kinda like coming up with an "All Star"/Pro Bowl team in the NFL. They go play against the OTHER countries Pro Bowl team for the Worlds Cup.

Thus the end result is that, Sporting KC is a good team in the US. But could it fight it out with UK Best Manester United? Nope.

I got confused with DC United.

I'm not a HUGE soccer fan, but appreciate that it IS a sport. And would like to take the family (or son) to a game and make a weekend (day) to enjoy the experience out of it.

Not sure but I heard to set in the south side you have to pay more than in the middle.

Basically KC loaned him to Norwich with the option to buy him out right and some point in May. I think they choose that option he has done pretty well for them and is good talent for the money they could sign him for.

Aren't Norwich and Wigan both in danger of being relegated? What ought to happen with Kamara and Espinoza if they do?
