Yes, there is a rainbow in the picture. Those things are pretty and happy, right? But there's also
a UN truck on the touchline and I can't figure that's a good thing because, let's be honest here,
the UN is only called in when things have gotten way too real.

For whatever reason, this week LA has usurped Rebecca Black's "Friday" as the focal point of
America's hatred. Luke Rodgers thinks their captain is "a prick". Former striker Carlos Ruiz says

Helluva weekend to be an MLS fan. Not only do we get the O.G. MLS beef, NY v. D.C., on Saturday

The Yanks are ready and so am I. Bring on the night.

Luckily, the tournament was held in Mexico this year, which means questions of tainted food were
never going to be too far off.
