With David Beckham’s career almost over, we thought it was only right to show you some of his best moments from his time in the U.S. He won the MLS Cup twice while playing with LA Galaxy, and scored 12 goals in 98 appearances for the West Coast club. Check it out!
He’s the best-paid player in MLS and Thierry Henry showed why with an impressive overhead kick during New York Red Bulls’ 2-1 win against Montreal on Wednesday night. Ooh la la!
MLS looks to have lost the battle to sign Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, who will be offered a new one-year deal to stay at Stamford Bridge, according to the UK press. We’ve got more on this and the latest gossip on Wayne Rooney, whose future has emerged as an intriguing sideshow to Alex Ferguson’s retirement. Click here to read all about it.
Kei Kamara earned himself plenty of new admirers during his loan spell at Premier League outfit Norwich City, but Kansas City is sure glad to have him back!
After Kamara’s loan deal ended this weekend, the striker celebrated his KC homecoming by throwing a party at Chipotle. The first 100 fans who showed up were treated to a free dinner and some quality time with Kei, who even handed out some free tickets to Sporting’s next game against Seattle Sounders.
And thus, the hashtag #ChipotlePartyWithKei was born:
Dinner party at Chipotle on the plaza tonite 6:30pm. Leave you piggy bank at home and bring ya empty belly. #ChipotlePartyWithKei

Dreams do come true!
Yesterday we posted the heartwarming story of the Portland Timbers hosting 8-year old cancer patient Atticus and his youth soccer team for a scrimmage on JELD-WEN Field.
Today, we show you this touching video piece from the Timbers that documents Atticus’ magical day from start to finish. An absolute must-watch!
Eight-year-old Atticus Lane-Dupre loves soccer. Last fall, he started to feel pain while playing with his team, The Green Machine. He was diagnosed with cancer (Wilms’ tumor) and missed the last game of the season as a result of the treatment he was receiving.
Atticus’ wish was simple: To play in a scrimmage against the Portland Timbers with The Green Machine.
Without hesitation, the Timbers teamed up with Make-A-Wish Oregon to grant Atticus’ wish. On Wednesday morning, a select group of Timbers players played against Atticus and The Green Machine at JELD-WEN Field.
We’ll let the video take it from here:
More than 3,000 fans showed up to cheer on Atticus and The Green Machine as they beat the Timbers 10-9, with Atticus scoring four goals on Wednesday. What a stunning display of support from the Portland community. They gave him a day he’ll never forget.

The Columbus Crew was getting set to face D.C. United at home when their scoreboard started burning up.
Action was swift, and it only took about 30 minutes for the Columbus Fire Department to put the blaze out, but it certainly gave fans a memorable experience. No word yet on why the fire started.
The game will continue after the heated delay. Never a dull moment!
UPDATE: Video of the fire as it smolders.

WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
Makes you wonder if this is how they treat their players all the time. Do they constantly yell at them on the field? Are their contracts written up in all caps? This sign effectively created more questions than it has answered.
Bolton’s Kevin Davies will leave the Championship club in the summer, but even at the age of 36 the striker has no thoughts of retiring. In fact Davies is supposedly thinking about a complete change of scenery in the MLS. Click here to find out which club he is considering joining and for the best transfers of the day.
Try to think of the dumbest red card you’ve ever seen and then compare it to this beauty. Paolo di Canio pushing the referee all those years ago? That was bad, this may be better. NY Red Bulls were trailing 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City in stoppage time. Juninho thought that keeper Jimmy Nielsen was taking too long to take a goal-kick. The rest is history.
