The more things change . . .

There's still a long way for soccer to go among certain segments of U.S. society. For example, as the U.S. team resumes training before the upcoming match against their traditional rivals, I'm the only English language media person at the practice today.

Televisa, from Mexico, is here. Telemundo, too, both with full camera crews. La Opinion, the local LA Spanish language paper, has sent a reporter out.

Of course, that means Pablo Mastroeni and Landon Donovan are in demand. The crews also want to put Bob Bradley's recent Spanish skills to the test.
