BY NOW YOU’VE probably woken up to the news that Robbie Keane scored the winning goal in extra-time as LA Galaxy won their fifth MLS title.
During the post-game press conference, Keane – understandably – wanted to focus on the positives.

However, one reporter insisted on questioning the Ireland captain on a miss earlier in the game when Keane should have probably passed to ball to retiring team-mate Landon Donovan:

Keane though, was having none of it.
“I only missed one chance, so, it wasn’t that bad. Jesus, you’re trying to kill me here, we just won the championship and [I] scored the winning goal.
“You’re on about the miss I made.”
It was enough to drive Bruce Arena to drink:

Why is he going over now instead of at the end of the season when he’ll have completed his Leaving Cert? I know he’ll complete school in the UK but sounds like Manchester City have put pressure on him to go over now?
@James Clancy: Brexit? Age considerations outside eu?
@tribesman: Oh yeah, that could be the reasoning alright. Strikes me that it’d be a better move for the player himself to go over in the summer but Brexit could be an issue alright.
@James Clancy: I think for career development games at a reasonably level is a good argument to stay. But he will get the beat training money can buy at city. Also money is another valid reason. Most good 17 year olds don’t play professionally for long. But city pay huge wedge to their kids, so even if he doesn’t ‘make it’ he’ll have earned significantly for 3ish years which could set him up for life.
I hope he does well, man City seem to have a good education plan for their academy players.
