    Mentioned in the Feigen article on the Mbah a Moute thread on the 1st page

    Free admission

    It's at Rice on Saturday morning. I guess some of yall might want to get out there and show your love to both and possibly some of the Rockets execs and other Rockets players.

    (For the NFL fans, Ndamukong Suh might be playing in the match. Can't guarantee he will be but they're trying to get him out there)

    Who is going to score on a set piece? Good questions.

    I would not be playing soccer if I were Capela until I signed a contract.

    As long as Mbah A Moute doesn't play keeper. The first time he stretches out for a save he's gonna dislocate his shoulder.

    I hope this isn’t indication of anything negative in the Rockets/Capela negotiate front (or he is just late).

    It's understandable, he's super butt hurt right now because he was expecting to get a massive payday this off-season and it looks like he's going to have to settle for a less massive payday due to the market.

    If he is pouting, I get it that it’s disappointing.

    BUT if I grew up in an orphanage and poor and came to America because a team took a chance on me, and that team helped mold me and feed me the rock to the point where the floor of my contract was $15M.....I WOULDNT BE POUTING

    This event isn't Rockets affiliated. Missing it is not reflective of his contract situation with us. It's reflective of his character.

    Did Clint really not show up to a charity event he help organize? That is not a good look.

    According to multiple sauces, when Rockets' staffers showed up, Capela's uncle hid him and said Capela wasn't going to be meeting with them.
