ASN Morning Read: Laugh Through Silly Season
A few United States national teamers could be on their way to different clubs or perhaps they might not be. No one seems to know anything. That's why this is all so much fun.

Nine clubs want Geoff Cameron. Or do they? It appears as though some clubs are kicking this old tires but that an acceptable offer likely won't be forthcoming. That's probably a good thing. Let the man stay at Stoke.
Brek Shea, on the other hand, appears on his way out at Stoke, either on loan or permanently.
Jermaine Jones rejected an offer from the Chicago Fire that had him set to make $6 million over two and a half seasons. Or maybe it didn't. Regardless, Jones is having fun:
Would you move to Europe if you were a player? Bobby Warshaw tells it like it is: "I’ve been uncomfortable playing abroad. I’ve been lonely and confused in a foreign country. It’s really hard to play well. You lose a split second trying to think of the correct native word to communicate with your teammate. You have a bad training session and you go sit alone in your apartment, unable to distract yourself or let it go. There’s a lot to be gained – both personally and for football development—but I couldn’t tell you it’s more valuable than being comfortable and happy."
An American at Cork City?
Soccer's big time: “My soccer job comes up from time to time in class—much more the last few years, which says a lot about the popularity of the game increasing,” Gulati said. “If I had asked them in that classroom 20 years ago to name a soccer player other than Pelé, few could have done it. Today, there would be a bunch who knew how Atlético Madrid did over the week and about the incredible goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.”
