i'm somebody

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

As an American Evertonian, I am unreasonably excited. Been too long since the days of Howard and Donovan.

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

🇺🇸 Sources: Everton agree to a deal to sign USMNT forward Flo Balogun from AS Monaco. @FabrizioRomano 1st reported.

Fee in the region of £40million ($54m). Personal terms still being finalized.

Balogun, 25, close to a return to England https://t.co/ZGEnR5ylZK

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

12 goals and 7 assists through 19 league matches 👀

Guilherme has been nearly unstoppable for @HoustonDynamo this season: https://t.co/mLVqbYPL8J

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@ProspectsUsmnt I don’t particularly rate him, but it’s not an apples to apples comparison to Campbell. He was going to leave for free in the winter, so Vancouver had zero bargaining power.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@HoustonDynamo @DUDEwipes Whatever they’re paying, it’s not worth it.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

Embarrassing. Whatever they’re paying is not worth it.

[Bayou City Soccer @BayouCitySoccer]

Per @SBJ, the Houston Dynamo are the first club to sell MLS’s new back-of-kit logo placement as a standalone sponsorship asset, striking a multiyear deal with Dude Wipes.

Our plans are measured in centuries. #efc

2 of the G7 leaders are Everton supporters (Andy Burnham 🇬🇧 and Mark Carney 🇨🇦). #EFC

Couldn’t agree more ⬇️

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@JohnFaerseth Well then FIFA should have a clear Avenue to appeal bad decisions.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@EdKrassen If it was from a bad call, I wouldn’t care.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@slagasis I won’t defend that. Trump is a scrotum. But it should never have been a red and FIFA needs a clear, transparent process for appealing red cards.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@ketaminedrams Then you were just as loud for the Ronaldo card suspension?

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@Kevin_Kinkead It wasn’t.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@KiddSpade1 In most sports, if there’s a bad call, you want it overturned. This is on FIFA for not having a transparent appeal process.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@baixinhorabudo @KiddSpade1 Where was this vitriol for Ronaldo’s card suspension? The red card was wrong and it was justly suspended. The way it happened was weird, but that’s on FIFA. They really should have a transparent appeal process.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@andrew_eaddy @scuffedpod Then why is the uproar significantly bigger for this than Ronaldo’s card suspension? There seems to be significantly more vitriol for this. Even before Trump claimed credit.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

Absolutely. Seeing just how much Europeans have whined about this while being silent about Ronaldo has been eye-opening. They will never respect us as a soccer nation. So why try?

[scuffed @scuffedpod]

Your shame is rooted in the fact that as American soccer fans, we’ve mostly felt the need to be subservient to the “real” soccer nations. This ends now

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@AlanOakIE @JamesSurowiecki Stills and slow-mo were incorrectly used to judge the intensity. Rewatch the VAR. No worries! I still forgive you and your ignorance. Peace unto you and all who walk this beautiful Earth.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@AlanOakIE @JamesSurowiecki You’re making the same mistake the ref made by using a still image. No worries I forgive you. What happened is the Bosnian player ran into Balo putting him off balance and he put his foot down to try to not fall over. Full speed you also see how little force was used.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@DiceElDani And Ronaldo’s. It may not have happened in the World Cup but the result is the same.

[Elwood P. Dowd @DynamoSometimes]

@JoueursBE @LangmanVince @FIFAcom That’s not different. You just want it to be different.
