It seems as though Danish side FC Copenhagen have rekindled their interest in the Houston Dynamos former MLS MVP. Would De-Rosario be interested in a move to Europe? He has achieved pretty much all there is to achieve in US soccer, 4 MLS Cups and various all-star appearances and the 30 year old may be looking to challenge himself further in a European league.

U-19 NEWS
Well the U-19 did not perform very well in the UEFA Championships. We lost to eventual winners Germany and Hungary in the group stages. We did beat in our last match which was enough to qualify for the Under 20 World Cup next summer. We definitely need to work on our tactics.

Mediotiempo cartoons of course have something to say about the exits of Atlante and Pachuca. Here the Pachuca gopher and little horse of Atlante complain about their mistreatment to the authorities. It’s paradoxical, considering the players that got physically rough as the games ended.
