Benny Feilhaber has agreed to terms with the Colorado Rapids, the team announced on Friday. 
Feilhaber, who turns 34 later this month, agreed to a one-year deal with a club option for 2020. He was thought to be leaning towards re-signing with LAFC, the team for which he made 38 league, playoff and cup appearances last season, scoring four goals. But with Feilhaber qualifying for free agency, the Rapids were able to come in and outbid LAFC for the midfielder’s services, paying him a salary just…

Stewart Robson questions Bruce Arena’s management of the U.S. ahead of two crucial matches to end World Cup Qualifying.

SANFORD, Florida — Two days into camp with the U.S. national team, Benny Feilhaber can still barely believe that he’s here.

While Feilhaber has been called into a few January camps in recent years, the Sporting Kansas City midfielder estimates that it has been over six years since he was last called into a camp that didn’t fall in the middle of the MLS off-season. His last appearance in a match outside of a January camp came in a friendly against Poland on Oct. 12, 2010.

Go behind the scenes with Sporting Kansas City’s equipment crew for a look at the work they do during training.
