Honest about what? We're embracing our history and heritage.

What he's referencing (I'm assuming) is that the year dating on almost all clubs (like TSV 1860 Munchen, Schalke 04, BVB 09, or Legacy 76) it's based around the founding of the club.

I think Werder wasn't gonna pay him as much as seattle. For Morris why would he travel so far and make less money? Also it could have to do with playing time guarantees. Odds are MOrris wouldn't have started for Bremen.
Morris is extremely talented and I wish he was going to play in Europe. Even if it's not for a top flfight club you can't argue that so many players in America greatly benefitted from European experience. I mean even look at what Bobby Wood has done in the second division of Germany.

Well, it's not like he's necessarily going to stay in MLS forever. Deandre Yedlin started with Seattle, but now he's playing the EPL (admittedly not getting a lot of minutes). Dempsey started with the New England Revolution at 22 before heading to Fullham at 24. Personally, as long as you don't get too comfy in MLS, I don't think it's a bad thing to start there as a young player.

I think he'd be out of there in no time. I odn't think it's a bad thing to start there. Just wish he would play in Europe.
Benny Feilhaber is airing his gripes about Jurgen Klinsmann again.
Feilhaber Comments on USMNT Selection
Aside from the fact that he seems to take his absence from the USMNT very personally (despite the fact that he claims otherwise), the people he listed off all have good reasons for not being included in the USMNT squad. Sacha Kljestan played well for the NYRB...but he didn't exactly blow the league away, and in the past he's been less than impressive for the USMNT. Dax McCarthy did have a good year for the NYRB, honestly isn't that impressive to me; he makes veteran MLS player decisions and that's good in MLS, but in the international game things will move too fast for him, I think. Matt Hedges got a look last February and did okay...but is he really better than the guys ahead of him at center back? Finally, Eric Lichaj looked okay when he last played for the USMNT but again, he plays in a crowded position and I don't think he's better than the guys ahead of them.
More interesting is the fact that he thinks the USMNT coach needs to always field the best team possible at the moment, something that I strongly disagree with. When we're in the hex or a World Cup year then yes, absolutely, but the rest of the time? No, I think those are years to build and test things out. This is especially true of the January camp, which is more of a proving ground for young and fringe players than a time for a serious, iron-clad roster. To me, Feilhaber increasingly sounds like a guy who is just sour about not being included, rather than anyone who seriously has what's best for the USMNT at heart.

That's a good point... why are 1860 Munich called that? The rules of Association Football hadn't been made yet so I doubt a German club had founded a team! The oldest club is Sheffield FC. They formed in 1857 (rules were slightly different).
Quick Google... 1860 Munchen started life as a gymnastic team! They started playing Football in 1899.

Oh sure I get it. But I don't think embracing history is dishonest

That is because 1860 Munich is the name of the sports club. It eventually only became a soccer team. Turn -und Sportveiren means something and sport club.I can't figure out what Turn is. I want to say it's a term for gymnastics.

Turn is the German word for gymnastics. Turnen (v) = do gymnastics, Turner = gymnast.
Bill Hamid is our 4-6 months, apparently he tore his right knee's meniscus. Ouch.
Bill Hamid Out 4-6 Months
It's worth noting this is the same knee he had surgery on in July of last year for a similar issue, at the time it was to "smooth out" his meniscus, but I guess that didn't solve the issue. It's possible that Hamid is injury prone, two surgeries in less than a year on the same spot is not a good sign; if this continues to be a problem it could really be a problem for Hamid's international ambitions and his club career. Hopefully he comes back in full force.

Well it will keep him around MLS likely for one more year.

Also Jordan Morris is a sounder.
Yeah, as a Sounders fan that is a nice to see him in Rave Green, though I wonder exactly how he will fit in. We're already going to be running a 4-3-3, and unless Dempsey (no!), Obafemi Martins (oh hell no!) or Valdez (...this is acceptable) are being traded or sold off that means he's probably coming on as a "super sub" in the last 30 or so minutes of a game. Either that, or one of the four strikers plays out of position in the midfield somewhere. Though now that Morris is in the fold, those rumors of Valdez being traded suddenly seem a lot more likely...
So uhhh...Tim Howard won male goalkeeper of the year for CONCACAF...'kay.
Tim Howard Goalkeeper of the Year
Admittedly, Tim Howard is still very good..but he only played in a handful of games for team USA this year. Kind of weird.

The 'Pool and Canaries match was absolute madness. Wow.
Looks like our solid defense has taken a huge hit. Vertonghen out obviously injured.
And that's that.
Meanwhile, time for the LVG sacking rumor mill to start up.

In case you missed it, glorious strike from Dele Alli.

Everton are breaking my heart. We are the new Wigan thanks to Martinez. I don't think I can handle watching any more live games... especially if Howard starts. We're 19th in goals conceded in the PL. We had 21 PL wins in Martinez's first 38 games (an Everton record) and now just 18 wins in the last 61 PL matches.
It was brought to my attention today that had we won our midweek Premier League tie against Leicester instead of losing (which is how it should have played out, and if it weren't for Schmeicel would have played out), we would currently be 1st in the league.

EPL is incredibly soft this season. 23 games in and only Leicester could finish north of 90 points. This has the potential to be one of the lowest wins in the EPL in a long time. Since the turn of the century, no team has had less than 80 points to win the league. With only 45 points up for grabs, I think that's very very likely as no one is gonna win out or come close to winning out. Right now we're looking at mid-high 70s in points would win the league.

Yeah, Everton has been really rough. I also think the collapse of Phil Jagielka has been huge for them in a negative way. He went from one of the better CBs in the premier league to pretty bad form in no time. Stones is too young to be anchoring the line. THey should have sold him to Chelsea for the 40 million pounds for Stones. They could have turned that into a number of quality players. Stones is a great young talent, but he's not gonna stick around and you might as well capitalize on that.

Wickham facing a very much deserved 3 game suspension for the blatant elbow to the face of Jan Vertonghen that the officials missed.
Also, the giants have certainly been floundering, but I think the lower sides have been a touch stronger (what with extra TV money and the like). But yes, it's been a soft season. If it lifts us into Champions League (or even the title), and a few good cup runs in a season where none of us were expecting great things, I'm all for it. I'm just happy to be in the tight top 4 grouping rather than the distant 5th/6th/7th with Man U, Hammers, and Liverpool.

Alexandre Pato finally returning to Europe, after being a star for AC Milan, he fell off the face of the earth (went to Brazil to try to make WC roster IIRC) and Chelsea are gambling on him being even the shell of his former self.

So, we now have our 5 candidates confirmed as being eligible for the FIFA presidency. The election is February 26th
Here's a breakdown of each candidate:
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein He's got a singing genie and he had a giant parade, how can he lose?
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa I really enjoyed his latest album, Blacc Hollywood and his duet with Charlie Puth for the song "When I see You Again" featured on the movie "Furious 7" was really touching. Unlikely to win here though, FIFA executives are heartless bastards.
Jerome Champagne This man enjoys baguettes, cheese, wine, champagne, cigarettes and mocking American tourists. He's likely to win because he'll undermine FIFA executives' confidence.
Gianni Infantino Name translates to Giant Baby, also his mob name. Unlikely to win as the mob are small potatoes compared to FIFA, has the mob killed thousands of slaves in Qatar? I don't think so!
Tokyo Sexwale This is actually me, I'm the house DJ for FIFA parties. My music is an eclectic mix of J-Pop, whale songs and voice tracks from pornos. I don't know why the FIFA executives like it so much, but they're unlikely to give me the nod based on my music alone.
In all seriousness, Jerome Champagne is one of Blatter's old lackeys and is likely to replace him by all accounts. The circle of corruption is complete having ushered the filthy secrets into a dustpan, for now. Nothing substantive will change.

Sounds like Adebayor has been signed by Crystal Palace, Townsend is off to Tyneside, Shaq Coulthirst has been sold as well, and the Two-ssa Dembele deal will likely fall through (or at least not serve our ends) as Fulham demands the only way is to keep him on loan through the end of the season.
As the transfer deadline looms, I guess we'll see which of the thousands of (mostly fake) rumors will actually pan out. Going to be a nutty week.
