Drogba looks SO good. i have a thing for that particular face type (A$AP Rocky also comes to mind).

the wealth disparity in La Liga never stops shocking me. Elche's situation is heartbreaking; their president resigned last night, in a last desperate attempt to save the club from relegation. and there's SO MANY clubs at risk of insolvency over there, especially in the lower leagues...

oh, and this happened yesterday:

meet Nuno Silva, a portuguese player who was bought by Real Jaén (a segunda B club) & wore a Franco shirt to his presentation, lmao. out of ignorance, of course, and he already apologized. a portuguese not knowing what Franco ( ... )

sad about la liga. things like that is why mls operates with parity/all teams get the same budget, well i think. i know theres a salary cap for players. their DP money confuses me cause la galaxy, toronto, and nycfc have DPs making 3, 6, and 9 mil like way more than some other teams DPs

Includes Giroud being very much Giroud. And Per and Petr having a conversation one floor above everyone else. Also, Bellerin on a zebra.

When Cech joined, I was hoping that he'd become pals with BFG and seeing both of them together like two elderly statesmen among a group of babies makes me very, very happy. Also, it seems that Bug Eyes' English has improved.

Harry Kane's goal was a nice one!

Harry Kane, STOP IT. That isn't nice. http://t.co/dc3zvQMU6A https://t.co/uKK2v46H74

Europa League qualifying tonight! I hope BvB does well. We're playing Wolfsberger FC (from Austria). Fingers crossed for West Ham and the Saints too.

Some news about Platini: The Belgian Football Federation and the FA have pledged support for Platini.

Strong words from South Korean billionaire Chung Mong-Joon after officially declaring he too will run for the #FIFA presidency.

Ahh Platini jazzypom July 30 2015, 09:51:10 UTC

Word has it that the English FA is throwing their weight behind Platini because Dyke (I want to say Dyke, but I might be wrong) is eying the UEFA post.

Yup, Greg Dyke.

Nope, I deleted my Instagram account like, 5 years ago but I know that he absolutely loves taking pictures of himself :D

i didnt know that the baseball all-star winners determined the world series location. lol i dont pay attention to baseball. i wouldnt mind the mls all-star game being east v west again again at least both sides would be more so matched. first half of the game was great, kaka-villa-dempsey, like i wish all those players were on 1 team. second half was so disjointed you could really tell it was a team of dudes whove only practiced once lol. it was a nice win so ill take it. apparently yedlin wasnt that great ): i hope he gets loaned out to a premier league side so i can still watch him (still holding hope for norwich ( ... )

the4thjuliek July 30 2015, 13:08:36 UTC

I think he'll be loaned out to a Championship side. He's still new to the PL and usually most PL teams don't take players on loan unless they have prior experience (like Jenkinson at West Ham) or they're from Chelsea (Lukaku, Victor Moses, etc).

chuk_is_dazzled July 30 2015, 13:41:50 UTC

yeah the only reason i said premier league side is cause norwich is there now lol, but talks about that move are dissipating :/ probably cause their in premier league now hah

Yedlin... jazzypom July 30 2015, 13:25:11 UTC

He's not as good as Americans think that he is. The lad has no positional sense, and tries to make it up with speed, but with the position that he plays, when his pace slows down, he'll get caught out like Lennon (Spurs) before him.

I think Yedlin should go out on loan, tbh.
