Happy Friday, Spursland! But is it really happy? It's pointless international friendly time and that means no games we really want to see. Oh, I know these games are important chances for international managers to get looks at young and up-and-coming players as they already start planning for making the semifinals in 2018. But I don't really care about that right now because I want to see (Glen) Coco Lamela play for Spurs, darn it.
And now the "news"
Teams Release EPL Squads, Benny Left Out Despite Room For Him- BBC
I don't really get this move. Benny can play in a pinch, he was always in the pretty good to serviceable range and in a disaster scenario we might need him. I don't get leaving him off the squad when we have room unless Poch can't see selling someone in January, but wants room to bring people in. Then again I haven't really put a lot of effort into knowing what this all means technically so I am really just a guy filling up a page with letters. Don't you feel angry you read this far?

James Milner Is Having Trouble Passing- SB Nation Soccer

Kings Owner Puts Weight Behind MLS Expansion In Sacramento- SB Nation Soccer
Let me state again for the record that I am against further expansion of the league without moving to a relegation model. Think of how fun it would be if one year the Harrisburg Islanders were a top flight team and, I don't know, say, the Philadelphia Union had to play games in Charleston.
Carlos Bocanegra Is Hanging Them Up- SB Nation Soccer
Happy trails, you glorious, glorious man. Part of the first real wave of Americans to announce our presence on the world stage.
