When my friend informed me that he had ordered our tickets today for the Mexico game in Columbus, I felt it was only appropriate that I make a post about the game and the teams involved. First, Goal.com chips in with a couple articles about the Mexican team, one a preview of Mexico in the Hexagonal and the other an analysis of the state of Mexican Football. Just like a good journalist and newspaper should always do, they cover both sides of the story by posting some exclusive video from the US National Team. They have Sacha Kljestan talking about taking a leadership role with the Senior team (above) and Kenny Cooper talking about staying in Dallas next year (let's hope they at leat raised his salary a little bit). Last but not least as I steal all of Goal.com's content, Andrea Canales checks in from the US training camp in California.

MNT Camp News
The January MNT Camp began yesterday and there have already been two withdrawals. Clarence Goodson has not yet made it back to form after ankle surgery and Cory Gibbs withdrew for an undisclosed reason (better be a good one because this was one of his last shots). Replacements have not been announced but I am sure they will come in the next few days as the backline is a little short after the aforementioned withdrawals.
Ives checks in for ESPN, breaking down a few things and a few players to pay attention to during the camp. Personally, I am going to be paying close attention to how Stuart Holden, Chad Marshall, Robbie Rogers, and Charlie Davies do, as I think they could all have legitimate futures with the Senior squad. I am also going to be checking for Kenny Cooper, who apparently will be staying in Dallas next year, and Sacha Kljestan, who has impressed me with his performances of late. Who do you think will make a splash during this camp? Did I miss anybody? Let me know.

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.
