Solid young signing by the Chels

Marco van Ginkel 20 year old Dutchman bought from Vitesse who is a deep laying CM.

So, why do we suck at home? Especially giving up goals right after we score and protecting leads. I haven't watched this team enough to understand, but it's really starting to get aggravating, especially because this was our strength in past seasons.

Idk I'm starting to get frustrated

The midfield is definitely softer, but I wonder if the Puma is getting old or has started gambling again.

Partied with some guy who said he was steve dave.

Most important was he (you?) really wanted an update from the other soccer guys in this thread with regards to the AWESOME off-season moves by Arsenal.

Jimmy is not as good as we (skc fans) have built him up to be.

Jimmy is easily one of the best in MLS. Definitely not THE best. Rimando is.

Also, there was no way in hell he was going to be able to save that shot. Trying would be pointless. It's kinda like when MLB players hit a soft grounder right back to the pitcher, and they're 99% going to be out by a mile. Except in this case, it's 100% out of reach. Professional goal keepers can tell. That's why they're pros. It has nothing to do with him being old. If you've watched him since he got here a few years ago, you'd know that.

sunny, you're part of the problem. The Puma had lost a few steps man. Stop making excuses for an aging keeper who is built up by our fans to be something he is not. Start being part of the solution not the problem. #PumaExtinction
