USA Soccer looks to remain hot against Ghana!

[USA TODAY] — IRENE, South Africa — Four years ago, after a loss to Ghana ended the USA’s World Cup in the first round, Landon Donovan stood on the field in disbelief. With his jersey on the ground and his hands on his knees, he leaned over and stared at the grass, shocked by the finality of the moment.

“That was not a good day for me or for the team,” Donovan said Thursday. “What I remember is my tentativeness and immediate feeling afterward, the finality of that and how disappointing that was.”

On Saturday, the USA faces Ghana for a chance to advance to the quarterfinals. This time, Donovan doesn’t want to let the opportunity pass. “This is a chance to do something very special,” he said.

Just a reminder: Football season is on tap!

The teenager-like look drew an overwhelming response from Patriots nation, with Boston-area stylists telling the Boston Herald that Brady’s Bieber hair should be “a little more textured, layered, a little more shaped.” We must admit: It’s hard to think of anyone but Justin Bieber when we look at the new do. Tell us: Do you like Tom Brady’s new hairstyle? –David Yi

Sweet Caroline… Ardohain

[Sports Illustrated] — Dan Kaplan, of Oakland, says, “J-Train (I see readers call you that nickname. Is that OK?), I was doing some “research” on Argentina’s soccer team and came across this model named Carolina Ardohain. Suffice to say, I’m rooting for Argentina now. You need to check her out. I’d be shocked if you didn’t make her a LLOD.” 1) Yes, it’s OK to call me J-Train.
