    How badly would a Premier League academy U18 team beat any randomly collected assembly of U18 players in England or Wales? When you compare academy (selective) to high school (largely not), you're comparing apples to oranges.

    If you want a USA-England apples-to-apples comparison, try a PL academy team against an MLS academy team or other elite club team. That way, at least the level of selectivity is roughly comparable.

          • Surprised no comments on RM-ManU game. What do people think of that call? Harsh but not completely unjustified is my view.
            I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.

              More yellow than orange for me, though that judgment is admittedly from a single view via animated gif.

                I had a nice conversation today with some people around Liverpool, and most of them are not at all shocked about rooney possibly leaving man U. They pointed out it was roughly 38 million pounds that would be saved. Also they like suarez, and hope he stays around. They also like Rodgers btw.
                I thought this all somewhat surprising given Liverpool's record this year, though I like Rodgers.

                  The call was harsh. Yellow yes. Banished, no way. Not in that game.

                    I've seen a photo from another angle and a shot of the aftermath for Arbeloa, and I've gone from leaning yellow to leaning red. He got raked pretty badly.

                        So... uh... Barcelona came to play today.

                        Also, I'm hoping for a last minute goal out of Schalke, if only to see Drogba go home early.

                        Edit: Maybe should've asked for a last minute goal out of Galatasaray, because I can't get enough of Drogba having success. *sigh*

                          You would have needed two last minute goals out of Schalke, even before Galatasaray potted their third.

                            Watching the replay of Barca-Milan on FSC, and wow, it could have been 3 - 0 twelve minutes in. Yowza.

                              So in a bit of history Seattle eliminates Tigres 3-2 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League becoming the first MLS team in 11 years to eliminate a Mexican team in a two game tie. And they did it with 3 second half goals after going 2-0, including this goal from Djimi Traore:

                              Houston faces Santos Laguna in Mexico up 1-0 and LA plays Herediano of Costa Rico at home 0-0 tomorrow. Seattle plays the Houston/Santos winner in the Semis.

                                They went 1-1 in Istanbul, it was 2-2 at the time in Germany, so Scheisse only needed the one goal.

                                Wow, that was a heck of a kick. The only thing that would've been more impressive is if he did it on the volley.
