Sporting Kansas City beat the San Jose Earthquakes at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Sunday 2-1 to snap a four match winless streak for KC.
While the facts of the match have received all of the headlines so far, we likely will be hearing a lot more about an incident late in the match very soon.

Found Waldo: He Plays For The USMNT
We hadn't seen the US Men's National Team jerseys worn in a game. It was pretty obvious what would happen when the jerseys were officially debuted, but we couldn't be quite sure.
Now it's confirmed: This is the easiest game of Where's Waldo ever.

USA Could Go West For Guatemala World Cup Qualifier
The United States doesn't make it any further west than the midwest very often. Most of the matches that the U.S. plays are on the east coast, especially the northeast, with the occasional match in the midwest and the American soccer fans on the west coast are well aware of this. They want to see their national team play without having to fly three hours. Lucky for them, they just might soon.

The Best Thing The FA Have Ever Done
The FA have suspended Joey Barton for twelve games and fined him £75,000 following the Queens Park Rangers midfielder's actions during the final match of the season against Manchester City. Barton, obviously, wasn't very well behaved, and he admitting to elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face (a four game ban) as well as kneeing Sergio Aguero for no reason whatsoever (five games).

Klinsmann or Klopp: Which Jurgen Is Not Being Honest
Jurgen Klinsmann held a conference call with the media on Friday afternoon after cutting the roster from 27 to 23 for the US Men's National Team upcoming matches against Scotland, Brazil, Canada, Antigua and Barbuda, and Guatemala. The players cut (Graham Zusi, Alfredo Morales, Danny Williams, and Juan Agudelo) are not the reason we're here.
We're here, because Jurgen Klinsmann said something that makes absolutely zero sense to anyone that has ever seen Borussia Dortmund play.

Steven Lenhart Quotes 'Goonies', Melts Cold Hearts
There might not be a more unpopular player in MLS than Steven Lenhart. The San Jose Earthquakes forward is Public Enemy No. 1 among many fans of other teams mainly because of his knack for getting under the skin of opposing players. That may be changing after he simply quoted the popular '80s movie "Goonies."
"Goonies never say die," Lenhart told reporters following Wednesday's comeback win over the LA Galaxy.

FCD's 2nd Jersey is Fine. The Entire Kit ... Not So Much
FC Dallas must have offended someone at the adidas offices. Their second jersey by itself is all right -- the grey accents look sharp and it's a good shade of blue. It's not the greatest jersey ever made, but there have been better and worse ... basically, it's middle of the road.
I digress.
Combine that acceptable jersey with some downright ugly shorts, though, and you get one of the ugliest MLS kits we've seen in awhile.

Adoracute Players' Kids: D'awwwwwwwwwwww!
Soccer is a sport for elite athleticism, skill, tenacity, grit and other words that bland analysts throw at players because they don't have many words in their vocabulary. It is also a sport for adoracute kids to be adoracute.
Professional soccer players may be really good at the sport, but they are not nearly as entertaining as their kids playing. Because, because, because, d'awwwwwwwwww!
