Dammit. Really let that one go. What's crazy is hearing the fans/fireworks in the stadium where my apartment is located. Also, my neighbors are losing it. Well, at least my boss will be happy at work after this.

I'm watching! Go Green Bay -- even though I live in Seattle. Great game so far, thought GB should've already won it.

I'll have to agree that he's looking more confident with each game. Most keepers hit their primes later in their careers. There will always be a few outliers like De Gea and Courtois, but we'll be assess Joel more accurately after he gets a good run of games.

Everton 3 - 0 WBA Lukaku

I hate to hear that. you could tell he was going to be a regular on Belgium team in the future. Such a damn shame.

Lukaku. So close to having a couple of goals.

Great game even though it was a draw. That's the Everton I want to watch.

I felt Besic's rage from over here.

Naismith, get in!!!

He looks a lot more confident. Most of the squad has looked better to me really. Ideally, we play this lineup except McCarthy instead of Barry and Mirallas instead of McGeady.

Really happy with Lukaku's improvement the last two games.

McGeady. Just... ugh

Oh man Coleman. So, so close.

Besic is made for this team.

This. A manager should be able to listen to his players. For all the criticism he's received for not being dynamic lately, this is the perfect action to prove the naysayers wrong.

I'm assuming he also means training with them when he would normally be on international break, but I'd also assume he'd be training with Everton at that time?

Agree. It's not a big deal to me. Players should have a voice.

I think he'll stay overseas and could find playing time at plenty of clubs across the pond. I want him in MLS if he does leave, but it's hard to see a deal happening considering the national team and his pay.

That's not a bad shout considering the money they have, but I believe they've already used 2 of 3 maximum slots. Unless Howard leaves this window, they'll get another DP before the season starts.

I think he's the type to leave on a free if he did leave. He's the most well-recognized player playing outside of the US, but he's not the type to put fans in the stands, and his salary would be peanuts compared to what he makes at Everton. Lando was popular because of his stats and was arguably the best player to ever step on the field for the USA. I'm not saying Howard wouldn't be welcomed, but I don't think he'd get a DP contract or take a a significant pay decrease either. It's from both a marketing and financial standpoint. I could be wrong though. Personally, I plan on coming to Goodison at some point in my life, but I'm more interested in seeing the likes of Barkley, Lukaku, etc. than Howard.

Howard won't be going to MLS with their pay structure though, unless he's on DP contract. That doesn't usually happen for GKs. I just wonder where he would go if he did leave.

Hate to hear about this -- Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the lost. I'm just shocked.

Why do you say that?

This exactly.
