The latest 'news' is the cancellation of the USMNT upcoming match versus Mexico to be held at Azteca Stadium. The word is that this will be replaced by the USMNT playing Brasil in Chicago at Soldiers Field on September 9.
Hopefully this news will allow some National Team fans to cut back on their medication that was prescribed when Bradley's Copa America roster was published.
Amazing how things work out some time. Now we'll be able to see the U.S. play the Copa America Champions with a rested 'A' team.
Also let me go on record early that I want to see Altidore called up for this one!
THE BAD
Arguably the best team in the League, Houston Dynamo, drop two games this week. First losing to Real Salt Lake then to the Colorado Rapids.
"It's embarrassing losing to the two worst teams in the league," said striker Brian Ching."
THE UGLY
Damarcus beasley faced racist taunts during his first Champions League game with the Rangers. Fans of FK Zeta were were making monkey sounds targeted at Beasley and team-mate Jean-Claude Darcheville. Beasley said:
"That's not normal, not just for us, black players, that's not normal for all other normal people."
The American speedster responded in the best way possible by putting the game winner in the back of the net.
FIFA will investigate the incident.
