First off, sorry for the lack of updates this week. My day-job schedule has been a little different this week, meaning the time I usually write hasn’t been the same and when I do have time to write I just had little energy to say anything.

For the second straight season, the MLS All-Star game will feature a big-time club as the opponent to the MLS All-Star squad. And for the second straight season it will be none other than EPL giants Manchester United. The game will be played at Red Bull Arena Wednesday, July 27, starting at 8:30 p.m. ET. Yeah. I’m not feeling…[continue reading]
