Figo Might Actually Be Going to MLS for Real (Boo. BOO!)

The Offside found this 1/2/2008 on italy.theoffside.com [flag]

Unlike all the previous Luis Figo -to-MLS stories , this one comes from an actual, fairly reliable newspaper: Correio da Manha is one of the biggest dailies in Portugal and has a whole lot more credibility than your typical sports rag (even if the Portuguese ones seem to make things up slightly less often than those in Spain and Italy). Bugger. So, according to the Carreio , Figo has ... [link]

... sucks in the league, the more Jose Mourinho will be linked to the job, and thus the more you’ll see “Milan & Drogba, sittin’ in a tree…” floating around the presses. This one is just waiting to blow up. Rafa v The Damn Americans So does Rafa get his way or will the Americans hold strong and refuse to send anymore cash towards Britain?

Rumor of the Day: Figo to Some AEG Team or Other

Posted 12/31/2007 on The Offside Rules

I worded the title ambiguously like that because this more-than-likely piece of crap article is equally ambiguous. Allegedly Figo has signed a 2-year deal worth $10.2 mil to play for an unnamed AEG-operated MLS side, which despite what the hopelessly uninformed writer will tell you would be either LA or Houston (AEG no longer owns Chicago, and Figo is not a forward).
