Stuart Holden Hangs With Sons Of Ben

Stuart Holden is back in the United States while the Bolton Wanderers midfielder recovers from an injury and attended Wednesday's Philadelphia Union match. While he was there, he spent some time in the River End with the Sons of Ben and even took a turn playing the drums. (H/T Brotherly Game, who I think can actually be heard in the audio...)

A couple things strike me about this video: 1. Who dresses Stuart Holden? Seriously. I get that capris are perfectly acceptable for men to wear in Europe, but aside from that, they appear to have checkers. Not a good look, Stu. 2. Why is he in Philadelphia when the United States is playing the Gold Cup in Houston? He’s obviously not on the team, but you would think he’d want to see his former (and presumably future) teammates fighting for a chance to make the Gold Cup finals and potentially earn a spot in the Confederations Cup.
