The stakes: The loser will wear the winner's jersey for a day. The rules seem pretty simple: The winner will be whichever player has more Twitter followers by the time Bunbury's Sporting Kansas City visits Agudelo's New York Red Bulls on Saturday. As of Tuesday afternoon, Agudelo holds a lead of 7,463-7,322.
