  • The Major League Soccer all-stars take on AS Roma Wednesday night (9pm, ESPN2) in Kansas City. Landon Donovan. Your potential breakout star? DeAndre Yedlin, who has a new haircut and seemingly unlimited potential. But, more importantly: and this:
  • Landon Donovan isn't sure if he's going to come back to MLS in 2014. His contract runs out and he'll decide what to do when he gets there. As if there was any other option.

On the occasion we actually beat a true world power, a caveat is quickly conjured to diminish the feat."

  • Brek Shea played in a friendly last night. He scored a goal: then he got hurt:

  • Jimmy Conrad went to the Gold Cup final and came back with this sweet video:
