Happy New Year!

Just a short note to say the holidays and a lack of US soccer news have kept TYH from posting a lot recently. But expect a lot of new content in the New Year, including a TYH podcast and numerous post detailing the United States quest for Olympic gold. Stay tuned!

Happy New Year!

Bradley's first call-ups for '08

Call-ups for the first US national team camp in 2008 are in and Bradley appears to be in the market for a No. 3 keeper. With the Euro season still going strong, the roster is heavy on MLSers, including a few names from the Copa America nightmare squad. Mo Edu is back for another camp, as is Jozy Altidore. Wake Forrest-grad Jeremiah White also made the roster. White, like most college grads who haven't a clue, has been backpacking around Europe. Since 2004, White has played for clubs in Serbia, Greece, France, Denmark, and Holland, preferring to be a beer-league journeyman rather than sign with the New England Revolution (who drafted him in 2004).

Here's the complete call-up list:

GOALKEEPERS(4) – Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Will Hesmer (Columbus Crew), Matt Pickens (Chicago Fire), Zach Wells (D.C. United)
DEFENDERS (9) –Dan Califf (Aalborg BK), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Ramiro Corrales (SK Brann), Todd Dunivant (Toronto FC), Clarence Goodson (San Jose Earthquakes), Drew Moor (FC Dallas), Michael Parkhurst (New England Revolution), Eddie Robinson (Houston Dynamo), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC)
MIDFIELDERS (7) –Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Maurice Edu (Toronto FC), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Justin Mapp (Chicago Fire), Pat Noonan (New England Revolution)
FORWARDS (6) –Josmer Altidore (New York Red Bulls), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Eddie Johnson (Kansas Cit y Wizards), Chris Rolfe (Chicago Fire), Taylor Twellman (New England Revolution), Jeremiah White (AGF Aarhus)

Beas' knee to keep him out six months

Beasley's solid season for Scotland's Rangers is over, as the injury he sustained in the Nov. 27 Champions League contest against Stuttgart will sideline him for four-to-six months.

He will likely return in time for the U.S.'s World Cup qualifying campaign, but will likely miss all of Rangers regular season. Beasley had four goals in 19 matches and was a regular started for Rangers.
