the secondhand embarrassment is real

 

Leave the poor children alone

 

come on you all-stars... or something?

 

Up the all-stars

 

up your all star! wait. no. my b.

 

Though, to be fair, imagine this front five (Pirlo, Kaka, dos Santos, Drogba, and Villa) all in their primes playing together? That'd be a helluva team.

 

If you weren't watching Garber's speech, MLS is gonna be the FIFA guinea pig for video replay next season. Actually love this news.

 

Drogba scored against Arsenal again. In other news, water is still wet.

 

The same question I ask every year:

If the MLS All-Star Team was a real club team, where would they finish the the EPL?

 

This year's squad makes me think ~15

 

I used Fifa 15 to run that once, they finished about mid-table

 

Probably like 12th-15th, I'd imagine.

 

Updated OP has our 2016-2017 EPL fantasy league and our old Plug room has been brought back to life.

If you're not on this list and wanna be, hit me up. If you're on this list and I got something wrong, lemme know. If your team doesn't have an emoji, there's a thread to ask @Jason Tate for new emojis here.

 

man plug is back?

 

yeah! Scott posted about it the other day in the GFCT. @Keri and I went back to the old room last night. All the stats/playlists, etc. are all there.

 

woah. i can't remember my log in though

 

I logged in through Facebook, so thankfully I didn't have to remember anything and just click that button.

 

tried but no dice, sure i only used it once or twice anyway

 

I'll never forget that match against Chelsea a few years back where Guzan put in one of the most spectacular shifts in goal I've ever seen.....in what I think was a 7-0 loss? He was downright incredible....but the team still gave up 7 goals, haha.

 

The Guzan one is a bit perplexing. Sure there is a younger, probably English keeper they could've plucked from the Championship that would be on a similar level? Premier League experience sure, but not when he's been very average for a couple of years now in one of the worst Premier League teams in recent years...

 

they signed victor valdes too

 

Higuain's return to Naples is gonna make me watch Serie A for the first time in a long time

De Laurentiis fumes at Higuain's 'lack of respect'

 

Guzan was in goal for the US's Copa semi run. That's gonna help his stock in the transfer market. But I'm surprised he didn't come to MLS, tbh.

 

Guzan going to a club where he will struggle to find playing time, and on a team that will once again fight off relegation.
