World Cup & MLS news update



Here's a quick look at some news, rumors and features across the web this weekend, encase you've been busy watching the games.

As I reported this past week ESPN has started 101 days of World Cup features leading up to the kick-off on June 11th. Here is a summary of the past five days features:
 - March 3rd - How predictive are qualifying results? - A look at past World Cup qualifying runs and how those teams faired in the finals to see if any predictions can be made about the 2010 edition.
 - March 4th - Five U.S. storylines to watch - Roster spots still up for contention, US injuries - including Charlie Davies' status, and uncertain positions on the starting squad.
 - March 5th - Five surprising World Cup runs - Five of the best underdog runs from World Cup history, including the US 2002 team.
 - March 6th - The most exciting player in the world - Four ESPN contributors discuss their picks for the most entertaining player to watch and how they might fare in the World Cup.


Also, for the MLS fans out there waiting for the season to kick-off later this month MLSnet.com has posted their latest five-a-side segment discussing Kasey Keller's contract, US players at the international level, and a look at this season's rookies.
