We heard the LA Galaxy had a new sponsorship deal with someone! Hope it's a really cool company that in no way marginalizes certain groups of people, especially should one of those people play for the Galaxy!

Los Angeles Galaxy forward Robbie Keane has seen enough over his four years of play in North America to declare MLS on par with Liga MX. A bullish Keane declared that Liga MX was stagnating in the face of MLS growth, a bold claim to make prior to Tuesday’s second leg fixture between the Galaxy and Santos Laguna of Liga MX.
2016 is a very important year for CONCACAF teams. The road to Russia 2018 is beginning and they will also compete in a very special edition of the Copa America, called the Copa America Centenario, which is a celebration for the tournament’s 100 years.

Not that Meghan Klingenberg would have had any trouble stealing our hearts normally, but today she especially stole our hearts with this video of the USWNT star accepting an award (sadly, not an Oscar).
On March 25, 2015, Major League Soccer announced that Minnesota United FC would be joining the league as a potential 2017 or 2018 expansion team. On February 24, 2016, the next major step in making that announcement a reality was taken in the form of the unveiling of their new St. Paul-based stadium design.
While many turn their focus to UEFA Champions League, top clubs in the US and Central America are facing off in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League. The Seattle Sounders faced Mexican side, Club América and played to a 2 - 2 draw. Clint Dempsey got the scoring started with a curling freekick in the 43rd minute. The 1 - 0 lead wouldn't last long as Club América came back with a goal of their own before the half in the 45th minute. Dempsey would score again to retake the lead, but it evaporated on a 70th minute goal from Oribe Peralta.
John Goossens is just like the rest of us. He dreams of someday being awarded a professional soccer contract, of being paid to play the game he loves regardless of where that may be. Sure, Goossens is a product of the renowned Ajax Youth Academy, made 30 appearances for the Eredivisie’s Feyenoord and scored for the Netherlands U-21 team, but, deep down, he’s a dreamer just like the rest of us.
USL side FC Cincinnati hasn't even played a proper competitive match yet, but that hasn't stopped them from scoring an absolute worldie. In a friendly match against Icelandic side KR Reykjavik, a long ball was cleared only as far as Corben Bone (yes, that is his real name), who took it on the volley first time. The end result? Let's just say that Reykjavik were totally boned. Sorry, that was bad.
To flop or not to flop, that is the question? Flopping in soccer has been part of the game for a long time, and it will continue to be as long as it can help gain an advantage. However, contrary to popular belief, the reality is that flopping is not unique to the sport of soccer. It is a part of many sports and I feel that soccer gets an unfair reputation for its flops, as I believe that the worst flopping occurs not in soccer, but in the NBA.
