Saturday was a busy day for soccer, but wasn't a big day for the Cosmos or the NASL. Quite a few MLS sides had preseason friendlies, as did the USWNT. Here are a few of the highlights from the world of sport yesterday:
FC Edmonton are expecting the center of their defense to be the strength of their squad in 2014, with several academy players providing depth for Albert Watson and Kareem Moses.
Seattle and Portland play to a draw
Anytime the Timbers meet the Sounders it's fun to watch, and yesterday was no exception even though it didn't count.
USWNT team dominates Russia, winning 7-0
MLS sides weren't the only ones playing games that had no meaning, though this one wasn't particularly competitive.

USA, Canada women win in Sochi
The women's hockey tournament is underway, and the gold medal favorites both started the way we'd expect.
