I’m off to Kansas City this morning to see the nation’s newest way-cool soccer stadium, and to see if the United States can shake the funk and move on into Gold Cup elimination play. There’s a media tour of the stadium at 2:30, followed conveniently by a U.S. press conference, the U.S. practice and then mixed zone availability. So, I’m picking ‘em up and puttin’ ‘em down pretty fast this morning.
Livestrong Sporting Park, or bust
Rather than telling you about something, I’ll let Vancouver Whitecaps striker Eric Hassli tell you what’s up. This man nailed an absolute stunner on Saturday against Vancouver. Watch it. Then watch it again. It was easily the best goal on a weekend full of dandies -- even better than Brek Shea’s slalom through Kansas City’s defense, and better than Graham Zusi’s 50-yard laser over caught-off-guard Kevin Hartman.
