Here's a fascinating Q&A with New York Cosmos chief operating officer Erik Stover. It sounds more and more like the team has no interest in joining Major League Soccer: "There are a lot of things that we are going to be able to do that you simply can’t do in M.L.S.—whether it’s on the commercial side of things or the player personnel side of things. There are some player transactions that we think we are going to announce here over the next few weeks, that, if they do come to fruition, I’m certain that a club wouldn’t be able to do in M.L.S. due to various rules and restrictions. And the same could be said on the commercial side of things." Of course, that could all be a ploy, but it's worth watching.

The squad gets Guatemala on Thursday.
