Rancid front man Lar Frederiksen caught up with Shawn to talk about Millwall, meeting George Best, supporting the San Jose Earthquakes through and through and heading up to Seattle for the MLS Cup.
Landon Donovan and Bill Simmons chop it up on the boston sportsguy’s website. They talk PKs and corners(which I loved because I ask Beans and Dunny these exact same ?s), they cover the lights going out at HDC and what its going to take to get US Soccer to the “Brazil level”. They close it up with talking about the MLS Cup, the World Cup and the soccer movement that is going on in the US. Check it out here

When you think of people that are positively and forever changing the scope of soccer in the United States, Gino Rossetti might not be the first name that comes to mind. But he should be. See, Gino is the principle at architecture firm Rossetti, and they are responsible for designing and building three MLS stadiums (Home Depot Center, Toyota Park and Rio Tinto) and they have two more they are currently working on (Red Bull Arena and Union Field). With soccer specific stadiums being an intergral part of the future and success of MLS, Gino and his firm are having a huge impact with how we as Americans interact with the teams and the sport that we love and support. I was lucky enough to be able to sit down with Gino and Andrew Leeson from Rossetti to talk architecture, soccer, canopy roofs and the future of stadium design.
