Interesting to see Bologna perform. Quebec based owner Saputo, is not that popular here at Montreal FC, sacking 12 coaches in 14 years…

The double ownership was supposed to help developing talent from canada overseas and bringing great young european prospects to montreal. We haven’t seen much of that.

It wont happen for the Impact, top European prospects do not view MLS as a major league. They have to develop North American prospects from within. So far Canada's Tejon Buchanan hasn't set foot on the pitch for Inter Milan.

I agree. Although Tajon was subbed in about 10 weeks ago. It will take time but I do think he will make it to a regular starter within a few months. Will he play today ?

The MLS has produced a few good talent. But the young players from Europe are not sent here that much. Only Puig is doing wonder in LA but I think he likes it so much that he will stay there. He was a product of Barca who couldn't handle the crazy pressure.

What is changing in the MLS and the Mexican Liga is the amount of Argentinian and other South American players who prefer to come north due to a lack of proper financing.

Another masterful performance from Rafael Leo. The red card to the Slavia defender was at the ref's discretion, I would have given a yellow.

Is Loftus Cheek on the Three Lions, he deserves to be.

Sometimes you don't wager against your heart. With Rui Patricio out, I thought Brighton were going to romp.

They're playing better, but I doubt they can catch up to Inter.

Its the De Rossi magic spell. I don't know why it didn't work out with Mourinho

Very different coaching styles. Lo Speciale is a rigid tactician who puts defense first. De Rossi is one of the guys, his objective is his players must not feel pressure. His philosophy: get out there and play.

If you can't play for I'l Capitano Grande, quit.

And he's Tom Hardy's fishing buddy.

Napoli lost to Barcelona 3-1, its unfortunate but Napoli didn't have the best defense.

Arsenal managed to win on penalties against Porto. Fucking Pepe is still playing at 41 for Porto. Between Sergio Ramos and Pepe they have more yellow and red cards than anybody.

Canada has qualified for the Copa America

Good, I doubt they can win against Brazil and Argentina- Today I watched friendlies German France 2-0 and England Brazil 0-1. I thought the French were going to beat the German, since they're packing great players. Instead the Germans kept going at them.

The Rome Derby again.

The Rome Derby again.

LOL It was good but it was like yellow card central and even when it was over they were trying to go at it.

What a major upset today. Atalanta beat Liverpool 3-0 , great game.

Roma beat Milan 1-0 I was waiting fo Milan to come back, but couldn't do it. Roma is doing very well.

Tuesday games were also great City against Real 3-3 and Arsenal Bayern 2-2

...and they said DDR was unfit to be a manager. Some called it a joke hire.

Atalanta 3 Liverpool 0

Giorgio Scalvini's stock is going through the roof, he doesn't play like a 20 year old. It helps that he's learning from one of the best, he lines up with Euro Winner Rafa Toloi.

Scalvini is very good, I think they already added him to the azzurri lineup.
