Hmm, fair enough then

Least we're getting stronger players then. Might make this play-off bracket more often then

Chelsea beat Seattle Sounders 4-2 with a great game from Lukaku

Shame Kagawa only played 2 minutes there more games to come from, including a match against Barcelona, can't wait to see how the team develops

Hazard played great too. Shame, I really want Chelsea to crash and burn

Having said that. Only 4 against Seattle with the team they played? No disrespect to Seattle or any MLS team but 7 is easily in the realm of the possible when you look at Chelsea, City and United vs. Around League 1 teams.

We scored 4, 5 and 6 against a good number of teams in the premier league :S

You should had seen Sounder's defense it was joke!!, Ivanovic made a foolish mistake which turned into a goal from Montero

To be fair to Seattle, 1 of the better defenses of MLS and that isn't saying much really.

A real lacking of skillful defending/defenders in MLS and Whitecaps aren't any exception to this btw.

MLS at times really reminds me of the Brazil league. Pretty damn good on attack but dreadful in defending.

Oh man, if that's one of the best I can't imagine the teams with bad defense

, I get why Saborio scores a lot LOL

Hmm, 1 of the more consistent defenses is probably a better wording lol

Only decent thing about the Sounders is the Xbox sponsor.

Adebayor threatening to stay at Man City for the remainder of the contract so we can't make any money off him?!

So?

If he's doing a Tevez, don't pay him. Him being unco-operative means we don't have to pay his wage and it's not like £6 million is a lot of money to City these days.

Hey it's his playing time he'll be eating up. City will be around after he retires. Not like you've won anything besides the Spanish FA Cup in your playing career.
