This took me far too long, sorry. Interwebs troubles...
#1 - As you may well know the race for free agent USMNT backline cop Oguchi Onyewu has reached a fever pace. We had no less than a half dozen names added to his suitor list today, including (heart beating) Ajax.
The same article also outs Parma and Portsmouth, while various Italian reports fingered Genoa, Lazio and Livorno - all of whom have previously watched the defender.
#2 - I hit up U.S. midfielder Benny Feilhaber to talk about about the Confederations Cup experience, which he feels can only help the team leading up to and including World Cup 2010.
I also posted the new MLS Club Ladder, which is obviously a bit static after a light schedule last week.
#3 - Erm... what the hell happened with MLS teams in in Open Cup play last night? Until they are properly allowed to establish depth, expect this to continue.
#4 - Soccer365 cohort Sean Heffernan got a quick word with U.S. U-20 midfielder Mikkel Diskerud after he scored a friendly winner against Egypt.
#5 - Brazil hero Lúcio on rallying to beat the feisty USMNT on Sunday.
#6 - The fans have named Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard to their Confederations Cup XI.
#7 - Here's a funny thing about the Gold Cup: the U.S. gets to add seven players to their roster due to the quick turnaround from Confederations Cup.
Who would I add? Making considerations so as not to deplete any MLS squad too much, I'd say Jeremiah White and Zak Whitbread would be my first two calls. And what about Robbie Findley or even Yura Movsisyan... he's a citizen, right? How about Arturo Alvarez, would he accept? Of course, you know I'd love to see Cory Gibbs brought in as well.
#8 - Lyon ace Karim Benzema is finally on the move. To where? Gee, take a wild guess. The mass exodus of Dutch attackers should begin any day now.
#9 - It seems Juventus star Pavel Nedved has MLS interest. Hmm. Who could that be?
#10 - I got so busy today, I failed to notice Alexi Lalas was Stephen Colbert's guest last night when I posted the earlier clip. Oops..

I was wondering myself about Yura being a citizen. Last I could find was he was nearing the end of the green card process, but that I think was from the beginning of the season. The only natural strikers they have in camp are Ching, Davies, and Cooper
I'd like to see:
Szetela
Zizzo
Whitbread
Jeremiah White
Jemal Johnson
Eric Lichaj
Kamani Hill
Do you know when he will announce the new 7?
j johnson will never don the RWB...people can forget about that.
@ bham: Johnson needs to find a club still. Hill, Lichaj and Szetela really need to be in their club camps.
Dempsey to Everton, I don't think i like this, but that is what the bbc is saying since he refused a contract extension.
