Not sure what Abreu was thinking tagging up on a short fly ball to left like that...he's out.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Sigh, Real Madrid's gonna bid $60M for Payet now probably. Yeah I'd be a bit scared if I were a West Ham fan right now. Payet might earn himself a nice payday and a bigger club.

Eaton might have to go back to center...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) Oh my what a goal by Payet. I didn't realize how much young talent France has, didn't known Martial and Coman were French. They have so much young talent. The sad thing is that their young defenders (Varane, Zouma, and Laporte) are all injured, so their defense isn't as good as it should be. Rami is basically their 5th CB and he's not real good. They also left Lacazette and Ben Arfa off the roster even though they're two of the best scorers in Ligue 1. Not sure why Tremoulinas and Kurzawa were left off the roster, because Evra sucks now. He almost cost them 3 points today with that awful challenge in the box.

This tournament's gonna be Payet's real coming out party. He's already famous for his free kicks, but he's shown far more than that in this game.

Payet looking very impressive so far. Lots of good runs and a few really good crosses/passes into the box.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:33 PM) The Euros get their own thread but Copa stays in the general soccer thread? The Euros are way more important.

France not looking real good so far. Of course, Giroud already missed a good scoring chance...typical.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) Whatever it is, it's working. Although being good at baseball probably helps. Not sure I love this move, but they have so much depth it doesn't really matter. So they trade him away in ST and then get him back 2 months later? Isn't Alcantara still a somewhat decent prospect?

Case and point about Zardes' first touch. Makes me wonder how he even scores goals for the Galaxy.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) Ok so who chooses them? Managers and players.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 8, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Decent game overall...better teams would have punished us early on though. Zardes is really brutal at the international level. He seems like a really good kid but I just don't know if he's cut out for the USMNT. At least as a starter. Zardes always has awful first touches. It might be time to give Nagbe or Pulisic a try at starting at forward.

Just need a draw vs. Paraguay to advance assuming Colombia doesn't completely mail it in the last game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) Latos just symbolizes the Sox season this year Hot unbelievable start followed by awfulness.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) So they can still beat CONCACAF teams on US soil. Ho hum. Just need a draw against Paraguay and hope Colombia wins out.

Latos is definitely going to the bullpen after this start.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) I started that and watched 3 or 4 episodes and just couldn't get into it for some reason. Different strokes for different folks. I was hooked like 20 minutes in.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Fantastic show. When will season 2 be available? August. I think it'll be the final season.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 09:13 PM) So who is going to recommend some shows? If you haven't watched it already, Narcos on Netflix. It's about Pablo Escobar. The best part about the show is how it's narrated and how the story is presented. It's surreal that some of the things in the show actually happened in Colombia.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 04:44 PM) Ok, but literally none of those players except for Melky are overpaid, and in todays game, he gets paid just about what he'd get on the FA market, so he is hardly overpaid. You just don't get it man, these guys are being paid millions to play a kids game. All of them are vastly overpaid!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Lue lost me when he said they needed to play faster against the Warriors (playing right into Golden State's strength). Doesn't help when Richard Jefferson is your 2nd leading scorer in the finals. I wonder if they get swept, does Lebron opt out and leave Cleveland? Yes.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) Series is over. GS is simply a terrible matchup for Cleveland. The Cavs have exactly one two-way player in LeBron. The Warriors have about six. It's really over when GS takes one in Cleveland. Until that, I wouldn't say it's quite over.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) Rumors are rumors during the silly season, but the Vardy to Arsenal seems very likely to happen unfortunately. As for Spurs, they're also considered "favorites" for Batshuyi, Slimani and Wanyama too. They're obviously not signing them all. I really don't want to see Vardy leave, especially after the season LC just had. If they sign Embolo, he'd be a great replacement with a much higher ceiling.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) I would be proud of the front office if they fired Robin. I'll believe it when I see it. I remember someone saying Ausmus might get fired before they even face the Sox this year a few weeks back. I think Ventura's more likely to get fired than Ausmus is at this point.

Damn we suck. You'd think the trade would cheer up some of the fanbase, but now I feel even worse.
