Bradley Names January Camp Roster


Bob Bradley announced his 25-man roster for the January training camp today and those complaining about young players not getting a shot, don't have much to complain about. Marvell Wynne, Charlie Davies, Kenny Cooper, Stuart Holden, Robbie Rogers, and Chad Marshall were all called in as well as veteran defenders Danny Califf and Cory Gibbs (Brown University represent). This camp should give Bradley a good chance to look at some of his younger players in preparation for the friendly against Sweden on January 24th. Check out the full roster in the link at the beginning of the post or over at the MNT blog.

American Soccer Roundup - Holiday Edition


Since I was slacking on posting updates over the past few days, I figured I would link a few of the more interesting stories that I came across over the break. In a big move for the reigning MLS Cup Champions, the front office resigned Chad Marshall to a multi-year contract with the Crew. Andrew Hush over at ESPN posted the second part of his interview with Clint Dempsey (Part 1 is right here), and Buzz Carrick continued his series of articles profiling the college seniors we might see in the MLS draft. Check out the lists for midfielders and defenders. O and last but not least, check out this article from Steve Davis for ESPN, profiling the power players of professional and international soccer in the United States. Davis gives us a nice glimpse of the people behind the scenes of the leagues and teams that we follow.

Neven Subotic to Play for Serbia


Well that blows. First Bakary Soumare decides to play for Mali, and now here comes official word that Neven Subotic will be plying his trade with Serbia. Well, at least people can stop talking about this on message boards and concentrate on the real important stuff, like will John O'Brien make his long awaited return to the game of soccer (just joking). On the real, this is very disappointing. But with Orozco and Torres recently choosing to play for the US, I believe that we are taking the right steps to make sure we can prevent this from happening as much as possible. Makes you appreciate Chad Marshall that much more, doesn't it?

Marshall, Parkhurst, and the Ghostbusters



This was intended to be a post about the MLS' potential loss of two promising, young American center backs, in Michael Parkhurst and Chad Marshall. But, Steven Goff and Ives Galarcep beat me to it. Why you might ask? Well to make a long story short, they are very good reporters, while I am a guy who loves soccer that has a lot of time on his hands. As I concede to their superiority, check out their posts' about Parkhurst and Marshall; and then check the video above for a preview of the upcoming Ghostbuster Video game featuring all the voices of the original Ghostbusters (Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis). As I recently purchased an XBOX360 and was all about these guys as a kid, I am pretty excited.
