The Union will host Swansea in a friendly on July 15.

Analysis, player ratings, and some much needed levity following the Union’s loss to D.C. over at Philly Voice.

MLS

Fox Deportes — via tweet and a video with zero substance, mind you — reports that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is headed to the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Sun follows it up with an equally vapid piece.

FC Dallas spent the week in Mexico acclimatizing to the altitude ahead of tonight’s second leg CONCACAF Champions League semifinal versus Pachuca. Will it be enough or will Liga MX maintain their CCL dominance over MLS?

Vancouver is also in Mexico for CCL action to take on a dynamic Tigres side, facing a near-impossible 2-0 deficit.

Today’s vote will decide whether St. Louis will use public funds to build an MLS stadium.

Third-division Spanish side Eldense decided to cease operations following an embarrassing, tear-jerking 12-0 drubbing by Barcelona’s B squad.
