Fans that have been pining for the Seattle Sounders to make a big move this offseason got their
wish on Friday as the team traded Lamar Neagle and Mike Fucito to the Montreal Impact in exchange
for former United States international Eddie Johnson. The move comes as a rather massive shock as
both Fucito and Neagle were thought to be in the team's longterm plans.
Nery Castillo sigue siendo futbolista aunque muchos no lo crean. Obviamente sin el mismo nivel
que alguna vez tuvo y demostró con creces en el Olympiakos donde ganó seis ligas griegas y
destacó no sólo en la liga de ese país, sino también en la Champions League.
Hoy su carta ya no vale los 15 millones de euros que pagó el Shakhtar Donetsk en el verano de
2007 al Olympiakos, tras el declive de su carrera está tasado en sólo 2,5 millones de euros – y
eso que en un momento valía todavía menos – a sus 27 años, edad dónde debería tener una
madurez futbolística que lo hiciera estar en el mejor momento de su carrera, pero con él ha
sucedido todo lo contrario.
Eddie Johnson signed a contract with MLS today. He will go into the allocation process, with a team
to be determined by Friday.
Eddie left the Kansas City Wizards in 2008. He has made stops in Fulham, Cardiff City, Aris,
Preston North End, and most recently Puebla. While with Puebla he reportedly struggled with
fitness.
Tampines Rovers' continental campaign is in danger of not having themselves crossing the AFC Cup
group stages for the first time since their participation with 1-0 defeat to Malaysian club side
Terengganu FA at JBS.
A horrific start to the game when Tampines's' custodian Sasa Dreven and defender Benoit Croissant
gifted Terengganu FA's Joseph Kalang Tie a perfect gift when the duo's miscommunication resulted an
one-nil lead in less than five from the kick-off.
Stacy Terry scored for the third consecutive match and Jerry Maddi found the net
in his National Premier Soccer League debut as the Madison 56ers held off visiting Eau Claire Aris
2-1 on Saturday night at Breese Stevens Field to remain perfect in Midwest Region Central
Conference play.
