article on SeanJohn, <3 this guy

Hope he can stay with the Fire a little longer, Euros are gonna take note of the dude for sure.

Yevgeni/Evgeni/Eugene Starikov joins the camp. is he any good?
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE70646N20110107

he's young and plays far away. tomsk is in siberia for real. he's a zenit guy on loan, maybe will be sold. found some form at the end of this past RPL season. basically i have no idea but i'm looking fwd to seeing him.

when asked what he missed most about the USA, starikov said "skittles. they're not the same here." lol he is a kid.

I am intrigued by this guy too, but also in the former Germany U17 captain we seem to have sniped, Fabian Huerzeler. Second player listed in this article:

gooch going on loan to twente, who are coached by his old coach from liege. would be nice if he was playing again
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/864044/milan-defender-oguchi-onyewu-joins-twente-on-loan?cc=5901

Let's hope so, we're going to need him to stop Chicharito in the Gold Cup.

wtf @ the chile match only being available on telefutura and espn3

I mean I like espn3 but cmon

wait when is this on?

10:30PM Eastern Saturday 1/22

wonder if jim in glasgow will be watching

sweet thanks.

nyt previews things nicely: http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/u-s-men-set-for-2011-debut/

nice to notice that my remote dvr controls online thinks that this event, titled 'futbol,' is not 'sports,' but that teen wolf, showing at the same time, is.

quality beard

well this is disjointed

ream's beard is indeed quality, amish-style

bradley loaned to villa, hope he gets games

He looked right good at the world cup, surprised no other opportunities have opened up for him

Brad-Mad Villa

Lichaj loaned to Leeds

good stuff. najar on twitter asking what country he should play for was pretty lol

Is that where Grant Wahl said he got robbed in Honduras, so Najar should play for the US? I heard something about it, didn't realize it was on twitter.

bradley not in the villa squad again today, wonder if they are having trouble with the work permit?

er maybe not? differing reports as to whether he is on the subs bench or not

hey the u-17 boys play el salvador at 3 EST/noon pacific on espn3.
win and they're in the u-17 WC. lose and no.
the usa is the only country to qualify for every u-17 wc
this reads like a (poorly written) ad, but srsly, i've seen these boys a couple times and though there's maybe not a star (yet) there's some good dynamism throughout: a kid mobi fehr in back, this skinny fc dallas boy acosta at LB or RB. pelosi in the middle gets his head up and creates. one of the rodriguezes, esteban i think, looks like and plays like a man amongst boys

1-1 at the half. not a pretty game.
jamaican announcers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>harkes & dellacamera

us wins 3-2, goes to semis and more importantly the u-17 WC in mexico this summer
10 yellows, 3 reds, lotta ugly

yay kids

must watch lolz

symmetry required stuart holden to get killed when charlie davies scored two goals in his first game in 2 years

us needs a new badge

be kinda cool if they just used this, fuck the tea party trying to take it

fuck the tea party for everything they stand for imo but yeah

didn't nike incorporate the snake somehow before? like wrapped around a ball?

it's on the inside of the current jerseys, i guess

not sure if this is from nike or not

i watched the game against argentina! what fun!

it really was!

missed this 'cause of MLS but saw some highlights, this agudelo kid better not be another freddie/jozy who takes off for yurp at the first opportunity and then stagnates on benches or in turkey

the paraguay game should be a good one for a nice quiet night in, hope to see some new blood out there

jozy looked OK, i thought

agudelo was like a fuckin ball magnet, though, and to my eyes looked like a player not-yet-seen in america. dunno if it was youth or what, but the dude seemed to ~want~ it more than a lot of the rest of the team, imo. way more aggressive.

kinda got the impression that the midfield and the D (esp) were pretty reluctant to really press the argies because they were afraid they would get juked one-on-one and that lil man would skip up to the goal and score. which seems...rational.

really like that nike US soccer logo, btw---would kinda like that style of ammurican sass to be reclaimed from the tea party

watching a watery stream in arabic--did two US defenders fall down on that paraguay goal?
