Before I shut things down for a long Memorial Day Weekend, here are some links for everyone to chew on:
- There are reports that WPS's St Louis Athletica will be folding. Brian Quarstad tweets that he's working on a post about Jeff Cooper talking to both the Athletica & AC St Louis today....

- Michael Essien is out of the World Cup for Ghana.
- Clarence Seedorf talks about soccer in the US during his visit with AC Milan. I really love the perspective that he brings and the answer he gave to a solid question.

- Seattle looked good in their 3rd kits as they defeated Boca Juniors 3-0.
- DC United defeated AC Milan 3-2 in a friendly last night. Could these foreign club care less about these matches?
