Man seeing him celebrate a 98th minute equaliser against us - and this XI specifically - his hilarious surreal shit.

Well, this is kind of the point that I can appreciate gets lost on most external media.
MLS is a league that's growing, but it's day to day reportage is done almost exclusively by bloggers and people doing it as a hobby. This isn't like the Premier League where you have Football Weekly, Totally Football, and a dozen or so newspapers paying guys six figures to cover things.
Those guys and girls are there week in week out, asking questions, in many cases holding teams accountable, and just in general telling good stories to maintain interest particularly among local supporters. I think it's great Messi arrived, and he'll boost the league significantly, but MLS has to be conscious of those that helped them keep things ticking over and laid some of the foundations.
I've seen it previously where a big star comes in and the bloggers can't get 5 minutes with him, but oh look here's 13-1500 words in the Daily Mail and a nice photo spread. You can't create a tiered access system like that and expect consistent coverage.
I don't know much about Irish football after the surface level, but what they done to develop the domestic game?
Stephen Kenny seemed like a good manager but trying to overhaul a national team is more than just a good young coach.
Another father and son find the net in the Premier League.
It's happened quicker than expected, but I think most expected it to happen.
He's a great player and will retire with a golden legacy. Asking a 30-year-old to play in an end-to-end league like the Premier League was a recipe for disaster. He did well in year one, but the team is such a mess he's being asked to do more than he's able.
Celta, Everton and Dailan?
I really hope he doesn’t go to Bayern.
As I understand it the Chelsea stuff has only just come to light right? I know Man City's has been rumbling out for a while.
This is Havertz.
He's a number 10 that works best the nhe can move into the space created by a striker.
Tremendously thick from Bet365. The Streisand effect in plain view.
Which is indicative of how low the bar is for Man Utd these days.
He’s played in defeats to City, Copenhagen, Palace, and Newcastle’s reserves.
They’ve beaten Brentford, Fulham, Luton, and Sheff Utd. He hasn’t been poor, but he still doesn’t improve the defensive unit anywhere near enough to justify the financial cost.
I’m sure he feels vindicated because he’s stayed at a top six club on great money. For me, he’s still near the top of the list to be sold. He’s a financial sinkhole and he’s not fit to play the style ETH wants.
