Haha nice! I like when defenders are the penalty takers xD Frank Lebouf the ex Chelsea CB was one of our greatest ever penalty takers (For Chelsea - behind Lamps ofc) he went a season of 9/10 pens scored was pretty sick xD
Sporting Kansas City announced today the club has acquired Colombian midfielder Jimmy Medranda on loan from Deportivo Pereira and U.S. defender Brendan Ruiz from Brazilian side Figuerense. Medranda and Ruiz will be added to the roster upon receipt of their P-1 Visas and International Transfer Certificates. Medranda will occupy an international spot on Sporting KC’s roster. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
jesus christ...he is a total stone cold killer tbf. Goofy as hell but when it comes to the pressure moments he has skills to pay the bills. Why always him?
Yeah, that was some nice distribution to set up that goal for Bayern.
Edit: Arsenal loan Ignasi Miquel to Leicester. Surely this means we are signing a CB/RB? No way Wenger would go the first few months of the season with just Mertesacker, Koscielny, and Sagna at CB.
From how freaking good koreans are at playing games in general, how much skill they have and how much general pace and fitness they have as sportsmen, it's kind of surprising they aren't doing considerably better on the international stage (as individual players playing in leagues and as a national team) when compared to similar size nations. There aren't too many superstars from Korea and I was under the impression it is the national game over there.
Perhaps it's the quality of competition they get in that area. Or perhaps it's down to the fact that they lack the physical diversity and with their homogenous society they lack other types of diversity (of culture, of race) to prepare the guys for the differences that await them on the international stage. Interesting though. Maybe it's down to the scouting and selection processes that go on in that country...looking for the wrong things. They have said that is the problem going on in Africa at the moment.
