Dont everyone go thinking Angel will be gone any time soon. Do I feel he will resign at years end? No. But with his inspiration from the national team squad, he may want to go to a River Plate for a larger more respectable stage to display his abilities. Man would that ever hurt this bostero . . .

p.s. Becks showed he is world class, best player overall for the full 90. Is he top 20 of world? No…but top 200, yes, cant help hes good looking! Funny comment on Colombian site was *Which was more interesting? 1. Becks vs. Blanco is Beauty and the Beast, or 2. Becks vs. Angel is the Battle of the Metrosexual*! Funny coincidence the word Metro, lol. All three showed their worth and talent and nice some others got to shine too.

Cute pic! Maybe he was just being polite to Intl. Media again. He probably does want to go where he gets a great forward partner and service. Maybe just hinting for improvements, or he will THEN want to go. He was more polite on Spanish TV than others, especially Becks, whom didnt stop! Agree w/ last poster but they do need more cash spent on players. If JPA had played 1st half he would have had 2 to 3 goals. Wrong mix for him and how frustrating to wait for a pass, he can get that at home, lol!

nolayuprule – “MLS needs to get their heads out of their asses and get some money into this league. Star power brings fans which brings money which brings success for the league…You dont have to go the cosmos route and bankrupt the league to do it.”

Please tell me you’re kidding with this argument! Completely contradictory and you obviously don’t know much about the league or the game in general. Please don’t go around saying “MLS is a joke” when you don’t know anything about it.

MLS has made great strides in the recent history, bringing in world class players in a league only 13 years old! If someone were to tell me that the Premiership/Serie A/La Liga were world class leagues just 13 years old, I would laugh in their face. The NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL all took time to become prestigious, as will MLS. So far I am pleased with our progress and the MLS is clearly on its way.

Am I blind, or was that goal last night so totally NOT offside?

MLS is a joke. The biggest, best and wealthiest city in the nation has two all league strikers in Angel and Altidore and we are gonna lose both to foreign teams and probably get nothing whatsoever in return?

the truth is if they were not getting injured playing on green concrete and having their egos crushed by being forced to play with terrible teammates against pathetic competition and still losing then they might be more open to staying here.

MLS needs to get their heads out of their asses and get some money into this league. Star power brings fans which brings money which brings success for the league.

You dont have to go the cosmos route and bankrupt the league to do it, though these days I doubt a team like the cosmos would do anything less than take the country by storm. But you need to inject real talent, not just models who play football {Im looking at you Becks}

I dont think this year will be the year = but I am sure that come years end, Angel will be looking for greener pastures.
