More CBA updates, and ESPN World Cup schedule

Apologies for the heavy dose of Collective Bargaining over the last couple of days, but this seems topical.  Here are two audio interviews that give some good insight:

Interview #1, the second in Major League Soccer Talk’s educational piece on Collective Bargaining and how it relates to Major League Soccer.  This one is heavy on the single entity status of the league.  Some of you may have a good understanding of this, others may find it informative.

Interview #2, a stellar 24 minute interview with Revs star Taylor Twellman.  About 20 minutes of this is on the Collective Bargaining topic.  He is very open about the players position on things.  He also sounds very optimistic about a resolution in the near future.

Also, today ESPN released their TV schedule for the upcoming World Cup (courtesy of our friends at WVHooligan).  Below is the info for the US group stage matchups:
