Very sad news for the U.S. WNT today as it was confirmed via an MRI that defender Ali Krieger had in fact torn the MCL and ACL in her right night after being brutally tackled in the USA's opening match win over the Dominican Republic.
We are happy to report that she is handling the situation extremely well and is sincerely appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans across the world.

Fox Soccer is reporting that Union striker/top scorer/face-of-the-franchise/fan-favorite Sebastien Le Toux began training with the English Premier League's Bolton Wanderers ahead of a transfer that will be completed by the end of the week.

As of 12:40 PM, no sources have confirmed this news.

A leaked copy of Toronto FC's 2012 schedule obtained by Canadian Soccer News shows the Union traveling to BMO Field on May 26 and Sept. 15, with the Canadian team at PPL Park on July 7. This unbalanced schedule thing is gonna take some getting used to.

Over at Blazers Edge, whenever a player leaves the team a fanpost is made to commemorate the contributions (small as they may have been) of the outgoing player. It seems only fair that we should have this tradition here on Stumptown Footy too. Because we love our Timbers.

Adam Moffat is on his way now to Houston, and I wish him well.

Steve Zakuani has been inundated with well wishes and rather than answer every message, he's decided to issue this letter through his foundation, Kingdom Hope:

Dear Friends of Kingdom Hope and the Sounders FC Community:

As you all know, during our match this past Friday against the Colorado Rapids, I was unfortunately on the receiving end of a mistimed tackle and had my right tibia and fibula broken as a result.

If you're a subscriber or a regular reader of the Kansas City Star you may have noticed a small, column-sized advertisement in the sports section of Sunday's paper. It was wishing the local National Football League's Chiefs good luck in their afternoon match up against the Baltimore Ravens in the first-round of the playoffs.
