Wait Until Next Time

As it always does, Jurgen Klinsmann's US national team roster release dominated the news cycle. As most figured, Landon Donovan didn't make the cut. Simon and Andrew evaluate the 29-man squad and the messages Klinsmann sent with his selections. Does Donovan deserve a spot? Should he accept a Gold Cup call-up?

American soccer stalwart Paul Tamberino also joins the show to discuss refereeing in MLS and the United States. Which players gave him the most guff? Which plays will stick in his craw forever? What is the biggest misconception about the man in the middle? Tamberino tells all.

The Toronto Sun's Kurt Larson also chimes in on the band-aid epidemic in Toronto and what it means for the likes of Danny Koevermans and Luis Silva. Plus, what now for David Beckham? Is Vancouver in position for a CCL berth?

Meet the ET team

Jason Saghini is a longtime MLS on-air personality and director of video for MLSsoccer.com. He previously worked in remote production on ESPN2's MLS and US national team broadcasts. His life's dream is to see Motley Crue play halftime of an MLS Cup.

Simon Borg is a senior editor and on-air analyst for MLSsoccer.com, and a regular creator of the "Kick Off" every weekday on MLSsoccer.com. He splits his time between his family and reading obscure Ukranian and Italian soccer reports at 4 am, and consequently has not slept for more than five consecutive hours since 2006.

Nick Firchau is the host of ExtraTime Radio and a senior editor at MLSsoccer.com. He previously covered the Chicago Fire for the Chicago Sun-Times. He often wonders why more professional athletes don't demand an "orange slices at halftime" clause in their contracts.

Greg Lalas is the editor in chief of MLSsoccer.com and a co-founder of the Kicking & Screening Soccer Film Festival. He played for the Tampa Bay Mutiny (RIP) and the New England Revolution. Well, "played" is maybe being a little kind. But he did train a lot.

ET producer Dan Haiek works as a video editor for MLSsoccer.com. When he's not filming and editing interviews and behind-the-scenes looks at MLS, he likes to curl up with a Nicholas Sparks novel and a glass of chardonnay.

Andrew Wiebe is a new media editor for MLSsoccer.com. He previously covered Sporting KC, once scored an unintentional goal from midfield and tries to bring an analytical mind to the beautiful game. Weekend center back, history junkie and Jayhawk.
