ASN Morning Read: Talking about Fatherhood
The former United States national team star opens up about being a dad; Awwwwwwwwwwwwww; MLS gets an additional suitor in Detroit and why does anyone think that's neccessary?
- "The other thing that I think is quite obvious is this group of players was good enough to qualify. It wasn't that they weren't talented enough. It wasn't that the talent level was behind Panama or Honduras or Costa Rica. But Costa Rica played like a team, and of course they used their strengths. They've got one of the best goalkeepers in the world, who made some very good saves in the game that the U.S. loses. But they were effective, and they executed better than the U.S. did."
- Landon Donovan talks:

And Ford Field would be the venue to host the team if the bid is successful. The Ford family will join the Dan Gilbert-Tom Gores-backed effort to bring the MLS to downtown Detroit, two people with firsthand knowledge told the Free Press."
- Don Garber was not impressed:
