| FYI, the players aren’t out yet. They do this a lot in MLS – advertise a kick-off for a certain time, and then pay little heed to it. It’s annoying, and I can’t abide it! | |

| Typical, isn’t it? You spend ages hyping up a contest between two of MLS’s biggest stars – and then one of them can’t play. Forget “the British invasion”, “the Battle of Britain”, and other such cliches: Frank Lampard is injured, and won’t be featuring in today’s game against the Galaxy. He’s not even in NYC’s 18. Oh well. There are plenty of other good players out there, so let’s not worry too much. Kick off’s at 3pm ET, 12pm PT, 8pm BST. Join us! | Typical, isn’t it?
