Mix ‘Jesus’ Diskerud winner puts Ulsan Hyundai in AFC Champions League knockouts

Those who have followed Mix Diskerud’s career closely are unlikely to say the 28-year-old was ever the walk-on-water type, much less to go as far as calling him a saviour.
However, the coach of Diskerud’s Ulsan Hyundai team, Kim Do-hoon, credited the player who has been nicknamed “Jesus” in the K-League with divine intervention after the one-time U.S. international scored a cheeky winner in their Asian Champions League match against Sydney FC on Tuesday.

Diskerud, Harrison, NYCFC and Man City: What it means for MLS

New York City FC star Jack Harrison says he’s hopeful of more chances to prove himself for England after his recent experience with the under-21s.
New York City FC has entered a brave new world and plenty of eyes are watching.
The club’s majority owner is the City Football Group (CFG). It owns Manchester City among others and, from the moment the Yankee Stadium-based club was established in 2013, its relationship to the mother ship and, in particular, its Premier League club, has raised questions. Would NYCFC be a feeder team? A dumping ground for castoffs? Was the investment by CFG a way to skirt financial fair play (FFP) rules?
There has…

Mix Diskerud said that he is in shape and ready to help Swedish side IFK Goteborg — even if it “took some zen to deal with” the events that led him overseas and back to playing his first league match in over eight months.
The U.S. international’s last appearance in a competitive league match came on June 15 of last year, when New York City FC fell in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup to the NASL’s New York Cosmos.

Major League Soccer: Osvaldo Alonso (63′) Seattle Sounders 0-0 Houston Dynamo

“He gets a lot of yellow cards,” one player said. “He may not be the dirtiest, but he hacks away at people.”
Despite…

Sebastian Salazar and Herculez Gomez go in-depth about the strengths and weaknesses of NYCFC entering the 2017 season.

New NYCFC DP Maxi Moralez shares his thoughts on having Pirlo and Villa as teammates and his plans to bolster NYCFC’s attack. New York City FC announced on Thursday that it has exercised its option to buy out the contract of U.S. international midfielder Mix Diskerud.
MLS rules stipulate that a team can buy out one guaranteed contract per year, and since NYCFC notified the league prior to the March 1 roster compliance deadline, Diskerud’s contract — which last year saw him earn $761,250 — will not count against the team’s salary budget.
However, the team will still be obligated to pay Diskerud his salary, at least for…
