Chris Wondolowski is your 2012 MLS MVP. Good for him. It's the right call. There's nothing more to say. Instead, let's watch highlights of his record-tying 27th goal of the year:
Bruce Arena has a choice to make: Play ASN fave Tommy Meyer, the man who saved the LA Galaxy's season, or return to A.J. DeLaGarza, who is healthy. Best guess: He goes with DeLaGarza's experience.
The United States women's national team defeated Ireland 5-0 at JELD-WEN Field in Portland, Oregon. Alex Morgan, who's becoming unstoppable, had a first-half hat trick, while Sydney Leroux bagged a pair after the break. The teams will play again on Saturday in Phoenix.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is accusing Clint Dempsey of diving. Which, as someone who writes a Liverpool fan blog(!) notes, is ironic considering he continues to trot out Luis "I tripped over the grass" Suarez. Elsewhere, the Mail has Dempsey saying he felt undervalued and under-appreciated at Fulham, which may or may not be true given the source of the "quotes." Anyhow, good times in London.
American Andrew Wooten netted two goals in Sandhausen’s 3-1 win over Energie Cottbus. One came on a penalty kick and the second came when he tapped in a rebound of his own saved penalty. Excitement!
ESPN's Doug McIntyre talks to Aron Johannsson, who continues to tear up the Danish Superliga with AGF Aarhus. The upshot? Well, just go read it yourself.
