Matt – I can’t argue there bud!

My first reaction was that of sheer joy, seeing Paolo play anywhere is pretty important to me, but then seeing Matt’s comment got my wheels turning. Even a title in RBNY wouldnt change the fact that his career is synomous with Milan, but the one team man luster would certainly lose some steam. Back in the Metro’s days Franco Baresi was supposed to be en route in the summer of 97 or 98 and this was one of the issues that was brought up by then Metro’s man Charlie Stillitano who was run out of town either before or after the failed move, maybe Dave knows better, because of his pursuit of another Italian Legend, Roberto Baggio.
In the end I always felt as though Metros and Italians, specifically Milanistas, should go hand in hand, and there is no reason RBNY can’t do the same, but this move is really making me think…I was already a RBNY fan, so this won’t sway me either way, but would it help in the NJ contigent??

His father Cesare has denied the rumors in a more trustworth Italian newsworth, who was oddly enough pulling it via twitter…so what is stranger a good media outlet using twitter as fact, or an old man tweeting!?? This just gets worse…

Honestly he should come to Toronto FC if he was to play in the MLS.
Canada has the largest population of Italians and people of Italian decent outside of Italy. He would be at home and revered. Not to mention I would immediately get season tickets to all of TFC’s matches.
I’m pretty sure though that his retirement wasn’t from playing football in Europe…but playing professional football anywhere!

Jonathan Fana scored 3 goals in 5 games during the CONCACAF Champions League Qualifying (as shown on his ESPN stats). Also, looks like he’s the one who scored the first goal in the 2-2 tie vs Red Bulls. Not too sure about him, but I guess it’s worth a shot to see what he’s got..

Anyone else notice the bigapplesoccer article dispelling the Maldini rumors was called “Offside Remarks”? I sure hope that wasn’t a cheap shot…

Great to hear Carlos Mendes is on his way back. An underated centerback who was snubbed by JCO until Mendes proved him wrong in the 2008 playoffs.
A local hero, long time Metro/RedBull, all round chill guy.
No dis-respect to Maldini, but I hope it’s Mendes & Petke at the back for the first game at the new stadium.

Al good find. That’s what I get for going on recollection!
And Michael, good looks on that but Mr Lewis blog has always been called offside remarks. And he is also a very cool guy, believe me. Either way, thanks pal.
And Double C! Mendes gets no respect. Him and Parke were the best cb combo this team had over the past 5-10 years.

LOL at Maldini playing in Canada. Also LOL at more Italians in Canada than the US. Probably less than NY even.

Now he has stopped jetting all over the world to play in World Cup games he is getting to play more regularly and forging a good partnership with Hesselink. He is strong and holds the ball up well to allow the midfield to press forward. He is very popular over here in Hull but unfortunately I do not think we will be able to afford him at the end of the season. Looking forward to seeing him play in the World Cup, but hope he has a stinker against England though.

Not insulted at all. Good for him. Strange move, though. Kitchee play in the Hong Kong superleague, which is pretty far down the ladder, even for Asia.

Matt, I was reading up on that when you posted. Quite the step down. But hey, its a once in a lifetime opportunity. Why not take it?

Actually, the food in Hong Kong makes it all worth it. Good luck to him.
Cheers

Well if he’s playing along with some friends in the same team then it’s worth it. They must be in it for the challenge of trying to win in a lower tier league, sound like fun. Hong Kong is a nice place to live in too I think with all those tall buildings and lights.

Cant blame him. Playing a season on turf at his age is brutal and the misery of the season must have been almost as bad.
best of luck to him. he was probably our best midfield player last season but his lack of health at this point makes him really not such a great choice for us at this time

That is pretty nice to hear that the people of Hull have come to appreciate and like Jozy.

The rules to cricket are different every time they are explained to me, to the point where I think people are just messing with me.

Here’s my attempt:
Cricket’s basically like baseball, except…
Instead of a pitcher there’s a bowler and instead of a catcher, the bowler is aiming for the wickets. For some reason there are no wickets in the vid above. But trust me, they’re usually there, right behind the batsman.
The batsmen score runs by either a) running between the two sets of wickets (which i guess is sort of like the equivalent of rounding plates in baseball) or b) hitting the ball to the boundary (which is sort of like scoring a home run).
Where it gets confusing if you’re used to baseball is that there are two batsmen “in” at one time, though only one of them faces the bowler at a time.
Also, no one chews gum.
