Not worth it to me on this one, but let me know what you find if you do.

Match Report: Dillon Serna's game-winner gives Rapids 1-0 win over Sporting KC On a side note, the Rapids will be in Columbus this Saturday.

In case anyone is interested, unfortunately Detroit City FC advanced on PKs 4-3 (score 0-0 at the end of 120 minutes). Adam Najem, the only Zip to take a PK in this match, made his.

Wil Trapp: The next evolution of the American holding midfielder ...By the end of the match Trapp had spent as much time in Dempsey’s face as Dempsey had in his. This was not Dempsey using another player to fire his own engines. It was a fire... ...If we have learned anything from Gregg Berhalter’s time in Columbus (and from Trapp’s formative time at Akron, where he played a similar role) it is that Americans are capable of playing the modern style of the game if given ample opportunity and the correct operators. Trapp is unquestionably, for me, the one piece that Berhalter has to have for this to work like he wants. For whatever Berhalter gained from his quiet moments under Bruce Arena, his real crowded hour was at Hammarby, where he developed the base to become MLS’s first truly American-European coaching innovator. ,,,

Sunderland 3 - 0 Everton - Player Ratings DeAndre Yedlin – 9 Real threat going forward with his electric pace. Solid at the back

DeAndre Yedlin helps Sunderland dodge relegation from Premier League ...“DeAndre … has got very little experience at this level,” Allardyce told the Independent. “He has got a lot of qualities but without that experience, it’s a massive ask to perform at the consistent level that you need to at this stage of the season, under the pressure that we’re all under.” Yedlin is expected to feature prominently for the USMNT in next month's Copa America Centenario, having been named to Jurgen Klinsmann's 40-man preliminary roster. The Yanks' final list will be announced later this month.

Tonight's USOC2016 match Michigan Bucks v Detroit City FC

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-centre/sunderland-vs-everton-live-score-7514157 Mannone 6 - Rarely troubled by toothless Everton until it was 3-0. Yedlin 7 - Pacey right-back was quietly effective. Kaboul 7 - Solid in defence, one remarkable mazy run and shot Kone MOM 8 - Surprise two-goal hero and commanding at the back. Van Aanholt 7 - Bent home the all-important opener, enterprising down the left. Kirchoff 8 - Outstanding in anchor role, especially when it was tense and goalless. M’Vila 7 - Assist for the second, neat in midfield. Cattermole booked 7 - Tireless workrate and crunching tackles, as always. Khazri 8 - Excellent dead-ball delivery from the winger. A fine January signing. Defoe 7 - Alert, sharp, denied a deserved goal by clearance on line. Borini 6 - Not as effective as the rest but plenty of sweat and puff.

So happy for DeAndre. Great experience working to avoid relegation, I'm certain. The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light today had to be beyond fun.

The best Homegrowns MLS ever signed Written by Will Parchman ...Top 5 All Time... 4. Wil Trapp, Columbus Crew I’ll fight push-back on this pick, because I genuinely think Trapp is the best defensive midfielder the Homegrown initiative has ever produced. Trapp is not the Makelele Role midfielder who sits and destroys, which I think is primarily why he’s such an interesting case. In the U.S., we’re plenty used to that figure, but we’ve done a more incomplete job of pushing along Pirlo types who prefer to sit deeper and spread the ball. That’s where Michael Bradley used to be king, before Vanney and Klinsmann had him running all over creation. Thankfully, Gregg Berhalter has allowed Trapp – when he’s healthy – to sit deep and build. Thanks to Opta, we know definitively that Trapp is among the most efficient midfielders in the league. Thanks to our eyeballs, we know he’s one of the best, too. 3. DeAndre Yedlin, Seattle Sounders Yedlin’s struggles to find consistent playing time in England and his continual deployment as a right midfielder in Jurgen Klinsmann’s system has perhaps guided us to forget how good Yedlin can be when, 1.) he’s in a holistic system that’s engineered at least in part around his overlapping, 2.) he’s actually played at right back. The first is important because teams need to plan around Yedlin’s blinking defensive form. The second is important because he is, in fact, a right back. This is what Yedlin’s capable of when he’s hit his stride. That is Eden Hazard. Yedlin might already be robbed of his true fullbacking potential, because he can’t seem to find consistent minutes there since leaving Seattle after the 2014 season. But don’t let that cloud how good Yedlin’s been – and how good he could still be. ...

I'm struggling to find an all-time Zips Men's Soccer roster (only all-time letter winners are listed in Media Guides), but if you look at David Jordan's twitter account (https://twitter.com/godj03), he is followed by Sinisa Ubiparapovic. Not conclusive, but an indication that he may have played for the Zips. EDIT: Born in 1986 means he would have been 18 in 2004. Therefore, my guess would be 2004-2007/8. The archives on GoZips.com go back to 2005. Did the Zips really only have 13 players on the roster in 2005? Unbelievable that the team would only have 2 possible subs. 2005 roster listed (http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2005-06/roster) 15 Matt Augustin D So.6-1180Silver Lake, Ohio / Walsh Jesuit 4 Elliot Bradbrook MF So.6-1180Kent, England / Leigh City Technology/Ashland University 1 Evan BushGK RFr.6-3185Concord, Ohio / Lake Catholic 17 Steve KalanMFSo.5-10165Highland Heights, Ohio / Mayfield 8 C.J.

With the 3 friendlies that are scheduled in Puerto Rico, San Jose, and Kansas City, I sure hope that Jurgen gives Perry at least one start...a true opportunity to show his skills. Perry made the move to Europe to get the opportunity, and he certainly deserves more of a look than he's received thus far. (I admit, my not so unbiased opinion)

Really???!!! I thought the Z logo was unique. How does the trademark work with that? Who was first?
