Building The Dam, for Oregon State Beavers fans

Two major story lines are unfolding in the National Team ranks. The first is what to do with Coach Bob Bradley... The second is what to do with Landon Donovan.

Commentary about America and the World Cup

If you've been watching the ESPN or ABC broadcasts of USA matches (which I know you have been), you've seen the reaction shots from inside bars all around the country. So far I've seen reactions from bars in New York and Seattle. This Saturday, folks all around the country (and the world, counting our military men and women watching on the Armed Forces Network) will be seeing Kansas City and the Power & Light District's KC Live! block. We spoke with ESPN today, and they have confirmed that they will have a camera in the "Living Room" area of the Power & Light District for Saturday's watch party. With that information, we'd like to ask everyone to make sure to show up nice and early Saturday. The game kicks off at 1:30 p.m. CT, with pre-game beginning at 1 CT. The more people that we have in the area, the better. Let's show ESPN and the rest of the country how much we here in Kansas City love soccer and our National Team! Don't forget: Another way to show your support for the effort to land the 2018 or 2022 tournament is to text "KansasCity" to 22442. Send the text, and tell all your friends to do the same!

We won't take our foot off the Islanders-centric pedal here as we steam full-speed ahead toward the draft and free agency. But June every four years is also World Cup month, and in my house that means lockdown as I take in some of the greatest sporting drama on the planet. If you're indifferent or even hateful of soccer, you still might get a good chuckle out of this USA-England primer at Casual Hoya. Today's match of Empire vs. Colony at 2:30 p.m. EDT should be a fun one -- an enjoyable rivalry to even the skeptics who populate our mainstream media and generally dismiss hockey, soccer, and any sport that doesn't hand out points as freely as 10% off cleaners coupons. I know John Tavares and Mark Streit will be watching...
