No Short Corners - Video Thursday

I find it funny that there was a lot more internet chatter ahead of last night's MLS vs Everton All Star game than afterward.

In fact, some of the post-game talk is less about the game and more about getting rid of the MLS All Star Game, or other topics like center backs not getting enough love , and are more DPs on their way?

All I have to say is what was Freddie Ljungberg thinking?

News & Notes:

- Abby Wambach is hitting her stride as she had the loan goal in Washington's 1-0 win over Boston last night.

- Vancouver has their match preview for tomorrow night up at their website.

- If you wanted an inside look at Andrew Lorei, you are in luck.

- Toronto FC may not have been surprised by Puerto Rico's tactics last night. But, they still lost at home 1-0 in the home leg of the CCL series between the two clubs. In stunning news, Cristian Arrieta got on the end of a Jonny Steele free kick to help get the Islanders the lone goal of the match.

- Ridge Mahoney had a nice piece on USA Today.com yesterday about the success of the Seattle Sounders.

- Colorado's Gary Smith talks about the recent roster moves the club has made.

- The Red Bulls have waived Khano Smith. Apparently he sulked his way out of town.

- It looks like Kenny Cooper is staying put in Dallas. That's good news for FC Dallas and MLS.

- Shaq versus Beckham? That would be interesting.

- Mexico has unveiled their roster for the August 12th WCQ in Azteca versus the US.

- I am heading out of town in the morning. So, I'm hoping for no weather delays that would mess up my DVRing the match!
