2011-2012 European Football Thread.

[Remember The Alomar]

Nothing to do with European football, but ESPN 2 just bumped the USA-Mexico friendly in favor of a 12-6 little league game. What an f'n joke.

Aside: There's a third dude in the booth tonight that I've never heard--some Mexican guy I think. He's absolutely SAVAGING the US side--it's kind of amazing. I love it.

I am about sick of this Enrique business. If he does not want to be there get rid of him. News sources are linking us with Erik Pieters of PSV as a replacement and he is currently the Dutch first choice left back (he can't be too bad), so as long as we don't get fleeced for a price send him on his way.

Rumor is Enrique to LFC for 5.5 million. To me that seems mighty, mighty cheap, but I'm curious of your opinion.

Maybe its because of what we've paid for Carrol.

Totally forgot about USA- Mexico. Oh well.

I would have guessed NUFC getting 6mil+ for Enrique, but tough to tell with him in the last year of his contract and all.

Ah, didn't think of the contract situation. Makes more sense now.

As for USA-Mexico--awful in the first half, but the last 20-25 minutes have been very good. Lots of one touch football and great through balls. Brek Shea looks very good.

Fantasy football information. Go to here to register a team if you do not have one already. After you have a team registered, click on the LEAGUES tab to add a private league. The code is 1449284-326391. I say we open the league up to whoever may want to join if you know someone who may not post on OH. Fairly straight forward. Message me if you have any questions. Instead of a cash buy in league, we can try to figure out a fitting award for the winner and that is open to discussion.

Excuse my idiocy, but where's the league tab? I registered and now they're asking me to fill out my roster, which I would think I'd do after I joined the league, right?

Also: How great is it that soccer is gearing back up? Consider the Orioles' season, it couldn't have happened soon enough.

You fill out your team, them join a league. The tab is along the top row.

Great business getting Enrique now hopefully we'll turn our attention to Cahill. According to some reports in Spain Liverpool have bid for Higuan which was rejected. Yes please.
