While the US Women's National Team was finishing a 6-day camp in Florida, US Soccer announced that they will be playing a friendly match against England on April 2. This will be the first match ever in England for the US Women.

The match will be played in Matchroom Stadium in East London, which is home to English League One side Leyton Orient.

The U.S. players have bonded with the daughter of the owner of the hotel the team has been staying at, playing X-Box, filling in coloring books, playing with her chocolate lab Amy (who has become a team mascot) and learning about the life of a teenager in the Austrian alps. Turns out young Ele also has four horses that live on the property, one of which she rode to training today.

Liverpool fans are being asked to support a walk from Newton-le-Willows to Anfield later this month in memory of a passionate Reds fan Chris Edwards - and raise money for charity in the process.
Kopite Chris sadly lost his brave fight with stomach cancer in late 2010 aged just 33, leaving behind his wife Joanne and unborn son, Luca, who arrived safely in February of this year.

The depiction of a 1949 match went for £5.6 million ($9.2 million) at Christie's in London on May 26

As well as curing aching limbs at Melwood, Liverpool physio Chris Morgan has raised a remarkable £21,000 for The Christie – Europe's largest cancer centre.
Morgan secured sponsorship from Kopites around the world via Twitter before running the Manchester 10k in an impressive 44mins 11secs.
The Manchester hospital was his chosen charity as it's where his friend and former Liverpool defender Gary Ablett was treated after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma last year.

FIFA allows just one stadium training per team per venue, and as the USA has already played in Dresden during this Women's World Cup (the 2-0 opening win over North Korea), the team practiced at the official training site today. It was a gorgeous day in Dresden as the USA ran through just a one-hour session to prepare for tomorrow's quaterfinal clash with Brazil.

Hurrice Irene continues to move toward the Eastern coastline of the USA, but the Philadelphia Union have chosen to "monitor" the situation and are not providing any other information about a possible postponement decision.
