Which of these Homegrown players do you think has the best shot at stardom?

Reading the Stars


The All-Stars have descended upon Portland and ExtraTime Radio was on the ground to talk to the protagonists: What does
DeAndre Yedlin's
future hold? Will
Diego Valeri
retire a Timber? And
Michael Bradley
discusses whether MLS should re-think the international friendly strategy.




But it's not just today's big names who are in Portland. Several of the future All-Stars will play in Monday's inaugural Homegrown match and we sat down with three of them for a wide-ranging intimate conversation:
Gyasi Zardes
(LA Galaxy),
Wil Trapp
(Columbus Crew) and
Shane O'Neill
(Colorado Rapids).

ETR Book Club:

After a month of consuming the 2014 World Cup, you probably think you know everything there is to know about it. Well, James Montague will make you think again with "Thirty-One Nil" featuring stories you likely never heard about in the lead-up to Brazil. We spoke to Montague about his adventures around the world and if you haven't yet ordered the book, you'll likely be tempted to after listening to our special Book Club edition.


Get started on the book club's next selection: The Numbers Game by Chris Anderson and David Sally.
