@indianfootballfan The NASL is in the process of folding. Tampa Bay and Ottawa have already moved to the USL and guys like Jacksonville, North Carolina are expected to join them. Cosmos are going to fold and not sure about the rest.
@ArsenalFan700 Who will be new USA Soccer Team coach? Why again this name of Bruce Arena coming up? They can hire literally any big name of world football.
Bruce Arena knows CONCACAF and all we need is someone who can get us into the World Cup. Once 2018 is finished we will go after a big name again most likely.
I'm really liking where this new Philippines Football League is going. Obviously too early to say whether this can be successful or not but very promising.
Yet a lot of complaints from their fans recently about their performance in the AFF Suzuki Cup and also questions about how feasible this tournament could be.
Oscar has been a Chelsea player since 2012, playing over 200 games for the club.
Chelsea midfielder Oscar is set to be the latest Brazilian player to join the Chinese Super League, according to media reports.
Shanghai SIPG will pay Chelsea 60 million euros for the 25-year-old, who is expected to agree to personal terms this week, Brazil's Uol said on Tuesday, citing sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
Oscar joined Chelsea after the 2012 Olympic Games and enjoyed early success at the London club. But his opportunities have been limited since the arrival of Italian coach Antonio Conte in July.
He has appeared in just nine of Chelsea's 15 Premier League matches this season and has not started since their 2-1 League Cup loss to West Ham in October.
Oscar will be following a growing number of Brazil internationals to join Chinese clubs in recent years. Among them are Paulinho (Guangzhou Evergrande), Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan), Diego Tardelli (Shandong Luneng) and Luis Fabiano (Tianjin Songjiang).
Shanghai SIPG finished third in the Chinese Super League this year and last month appointed former Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Other Brazilians currently in the Shanghai SIPG squad are forwards Elkeson and Hulk.
we may see Oscar in next AFC Champions League. Chelsea is full of talent and Oscar is not going to get playing time there. Samir Nasri should be taken in China also. He is out of favour in French NT and Man City but still a great player for Asian standards.
