FSC doesn't broadcast Eredivisie so I guess not.

I don't "get" your reply.

I know they don't broadcast Eredivisie right now.

 

[Enron]

I would assume that they couldn't get the rights... either too expensive, not available, etc.

Either that or there isn't a market for it.

 

[Bjerknes]

They probably wouldn't be inclined to get the rights now. If Altidore or another high profile American heads to Ajax that might change matters a little.

 

[Enron]

I doubt it. Even Setanta showed only a couple matches a week.

 

[Bjerknes]

Holden is ready for the new season with Bolton. :jvefan:

 

[Enron]

He should do well there and get decent amounts of time.

 

[Bjerknes]

I hope they do well. First match on the 14th I think.

 

[Enron]

 

[Bjerknes]

Who's his main competition for the right wing? Chung-Yong?

Holden can play left side and in the center, so hopefully he will get a lot of time.

 

[Enron]

Yong plays on the left I think. Or can. I think they both can switch, but I don't know Bolton too well. I do remember them being on the pitch together last season.

 

[Fred]

Yung plays on the right.

The left wing is occupied by Matt Taylor and sometimes by Gardner.

What is Holden's position?

I don't think i've ever seen him play, or maybe i just haven't noticed him. First i heard of him was after the infamous incident with De Jong. Did he play in the Confed cup?

 

[Bjerknes]

Holden is primarily a right-attacking middie, but he can play pretty much everywhere in midfield. He can even come deep to get the ball if needed.

 

[Fred]

Bolton always play with 5 in midfield. Maybe they intend to play him as a CM?

 

[Bjerknes]

Maybe so. Hard to say.

biatch!!

Kljestan seems a good buy so far, already scored for us.
Yesterday in the CL, he gave an assist and was very present in the attacking actions we made.

His starts looks promising.

Is this some sort of joke?

COSMOS ON HORIZON

The Cosmos and Brazilian legend Pele announced a return to soccer at halftime of Copa NYC Sunday. The Cosmos said they will partner with 60-year-old club B.W. Gottschee in its U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams. It will be called the Cosmos Soccer Academy. The Cosmos, who competed in the North American Soccer League from 1971-1984, eventually want an MLS franchise in Queens. Over the past few years, MLS has spoken to the Mets and the Wilpon family about owning a team. The Cosmos' rights are owned by former Tottenham shareholder Paul Kemsley, who purchased them from Peppe Pinton.

Guess not. Two New York teams? Hopefully the sport can grow that much here, but you gotta wonder what Red Bulls fans who used to love the Cosmos would do..

That's good to hear. Maybe he'll work harder now that he doesn't have a free ride in MLS.
