ASN Morning Read: The Many Things Benny Can Do
Mr. Feilhaber dominates another game, this time in the semifinals of the Open Cup. Will he ever get a national team call?; a center back appears to be on the move in England; the Sounders improve.
- Sporting Kansas City defeated Real Salt Lake in the semifinal of the Open Cup, courtesy of a goal and an assist from Benny Feilhaber, who is en fuego: "Feilhaber now has a goal or assist in six straight matches across all competitions, and his 17 assists – five of those in Open Cup play, yet another club record – are one short of Preki's mark of 18 from 2003."
- In the other semi, the Philadelphia Union, who seem to make the finals of this thing every year, beat the Chicago Fire:
- Tim Ream to QPR? It looks that way. UPDATE: Or maybe he's going to Fulham. High drama in London!
- Cody Cropper is your new favorite American goalie. How long until he shaves his head?
- Drogba siren:
Montreal Impact coach Frank Klopas says Didier Drogba will make debut Aug. 22 vs. Philadelphia. #IMFC #MLS
— Doug McIntyre (@DougMacESPN) August 13, 2015 - The Seattle Sounders get better by signing Panama center back Roman Torres. He was a beast during the Gold Cup, despite getting called for a horse manure handball that allowed Mexico to go through to the final.
