The U.S. men's national team is ready to play its first game in Europe under new head coach
Jurgen Klinsmann, and while recent opponents Mexico and Costa Rica posed their own problems for the
United States, facing Belgium in Brussels today (2:30pm, ESPN2) will present its own set of
difficulties.
While the Seattle Sounder no longer need to worry about making the MLS Cup Playoffs, there is
still much to play for up in Vancouver. The Cascadia Cup is in doubt and that minuscule chance at
the Supporters Shield needs Seattle to win out. Fortunately Seattle is playing the rather weak
Vancouver Whitecaps on the final day of Empire Field.
