Debut goal alert!! (updated)
Djurgården rookie Brian Span made his first Allsvenskan start at right wing today and it wasn't for nothing. The youngster has just hit the 1-1 equalizer at defending champs Helsingborg with a quarter hour remaining to open his pro account.

US Open Cup 2nd round(up)
After another night chock-full of action, we're done with the second round of the 99th USOC. Which means MLS teams are about ready to jump into the pool. And of course it also means Seattle is rifling through its checkbook.
Couple notes from Tuesday's...
Video Tuesday
Tuesday is, for me, the week's most evil day most weeks. So why not liven it up with some choice cuts from MLS and further afield?

Bug juice for all!
Both the USMNT and USWNT are in camp ahead of big summers, so let's check in on the proceedings. Ladies first...
And now we turn to mad professor Klinsi and a fan visit to training that is set for a repeat engagement on Friday.

The MLS Grinder: Five things
There are a lot of things to like about getting married, but missing Chelsea's proudest moment for wearying (but satisfying, honey!) engagement photos is not among them. It also washed out my ability to watch any MLS live, so I spent the last few hours...
Extra Time: Ruben Luna
About a week ago I got the chance to talk all things Ruben Luna with Ruben Luna. Naturally not everything fit the story, so the tastiest leftovers from "Home Grown: Ruben Luna" are all yours. I also included some bonus quotes from his U12-U16 coach, Darrin Hedges who now coaches FC Dallas's women's team.
On the importance...
Klinsi’s (Other) Eleven
Including today's 11 additions, the USMNT has 27 going for 23 spots in the "tourney simulation squad" starting with Saturday's Scotland friendly. I may have additional thoughts later, but for now I'm just trying to figure out why Eric Lichaj is not along (while Alfredo Morales is). And Zusi over Kljestan? Tsk tsk.D - Geoff...
Strapped with Gatt
Molde FK winger Josh Gatt bagged his third of the young season on 26 minutes and it stood up as winner in a 2-0 defeat of Sandnes. We'll get that clip up ASAP...- Greg Seltzer
Well, that was fun*.
*Provided you're not a Bayern fan. Or Angela Merkel.
Let's sift through Chelsea's rude guest European championship triumph that knocked Brad Friedel to the Europa League (rabidly unfairly, I say) and shoved Sacha Kljestan's Anderlecht out of the ...
MLS breakout players, redux
If you'll go way back to the ides of March, that MLS-less time when we all had to look across the shore for our footy fixes, I came out with my all-Two Door Cinema Club XI. It was a group with an eye toward breakout seasons from 11 of the league's unhe...
In defense of Lahoud for Califf
It's a solid move. More obviously so for Chivas USA than the Union, but I'm not joking.
Danny Califf is undoubtedly more decorated and established than Mike Lahoud. He's a proven leader and a native SoCal-ite that will certainly add composure to a bac...
Juan Agudelo busts up the block *UPDATED*
This is what playing time looks like
Juan Agudelo is going to LA. Heath Pierce is going to NY. Big gulps, eh?
This, to me, shot not out of left field but out of outer space. For those of us monitoring Danny Califf's situation in Philly, ready to po...
