New USMNT coach - Pochettino.

I'm glad they were able to get a big name - but he's very overrated imo. Still better than a lot of coaches though and certainly could have done a lot worse.

Ya, I know a bit about him from years ago. Hopefully he's learned some more since then. I'm just glad we got someone outside of the US

He's a pretty good coach - just not a great one. His ego gets in his way at times. Hopefully he learned form past experiences and plans to be better. Still a good hire. Probably the best name they could realistically get.

One thing I'm excited about Poche is - he's gonna a bring in a lot of new young talent and he's gonna demand a lot out of his players. Hope he learned from PSG and Chelsea failures.

Best cake ever made!
Real PSG can get f**ked.
End of an era in Germany.

Neuer, Muller, Kross, and Gundogan all retiring from international play

Neuer, Muller, Kroos - what a generation - 3 all time legends.

It's super early - but love what Flick is doing with Barca. Didn't expect them to start out like that without 2 of their best players. Lot of time for this to get effed and i genuinely think this will be a tough year but would love to be wrong.

Cristiano has scored 900 goals. One of the true legends of the game. Lot of ppl don't like his personality but imo he's the 2nd Greatest Player of all time. Definitely a top 5 player in history. Wished he was playing in USA like Messi - wasting his time in Saudi Arabia.
Japan just having fun with China.

Suarez retired from international football. Another legend leaving the game. One of the greatest pure striker of the ball the game has ever seen. Some of his goals (especially with Liverpool) still make me wonder how is that even possible.

That 1st goal is so fkn awesome and it's MAYBE the 2nd best goal of this 4 goal performance.

That 3rd goal is bananas!

El Pistolero…you'll be missed!

Ter Stegen finally gets his chance to move out of Neuer's shadow and promptly blows his knee out

Messi's first season in MLS and Miami had the greatest reg season in the history of MLS. Scored 2 hat-tricks in last few days (one with Argentina - one with Miami).

Miami's back 4 and goalie are very average. Tough to win the titles like that - but when you have Messi - Suarez up front - you can score with the best of them.
