I'm not in the mood to mince words or getting all wound up through great elaboration, so I'll cut right to the point.Today, USMNT coach Bob Bradley called 23 players for a midweek friendly against Denmark in Aarhus, yet stunningly ignored AGF attacker Jeremiah White. This, my friends, is a bush league maneuver.

The US has said goodbye (for now) to Charlie Davies (Sochaux), Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaellands), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Benny Feilhaber (Aarhus), and Freddy Adu (Benfica). The quintet has returned to their European clubs for training. Not to worry: CONCACAF allowed...

A pair of Americans found the net on Monday night, with Man of the Match Benny Feilhaber scoring the winner in Aarhus GF's 3-2 decision over Randers FC (full highlights and a postgame interview with the U.S. internatioal).The result saw AGF take the league lead through two rounds and Feilhaber was named to the TV2 Team of the Week for his excellent all-around efforts.

We start with Denmark's SuperLiga, where Danny Califf was a 72nd minute substitute in FC Midtjylland's 3-1 away loss to Brondby. All the goals were scored before Califf came on for Filip Marcic. A better result for Michael Parkhurst and Nordsjaelland, who drew 2-2 with Randers. Stephan Petersen (14th) and Nicolai Stokholm (48th) scored for Nordsjaelland.

U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley has named his squad of 22 players that will meet 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers Slovakia on November 14th in Bratislava and Denmark in Aarhus on November 18th.

Benny Feilhaber is on fire.

A week after delivering the fastest assist in Danish Superliga history, Feilhaber continued his impressive run of form with a game-winning goal in Aarhus' 3-2 win over Randers FC on Monday. The goal, which came in the 45th minute, helped Aarhus climb to first place in the league after two games played.

Benny Feilhaber and Aarhus have their eyes on an incursion into the league's top three, while Jamil Fearrington and Roskilde need to turn around their recent poor run of results.

"The surgery went well, I was told afterwards that it was textbook," said Onyewu, who is now rehabbing in California. "Everything went along well, I am feeling better each day."
Onyewu recalls looking down and seeing that his kneecap was in his quadriceps muscle. "It looked pretty bad," he said.

How about those Danish Van Houtens?What, you're telling me you didn't stick with 'The Simpsons' through season 19?Guess I'd have to call that a cromulent decision. If you read those last three seconds and your brain didn't turn into a puddle of chocolate pudding, you were probably able to deduce that I don't have a whole lot to offer for Wednesday's USMNT friendly against Denmark in Aarhus.

When the United States originally set up this Wednesday's friendly against Denmark, it was thought that the encounter would provide a fair assessment of where the Americans stood in comparison to another World Cup contestant. The chance to look at some fringe members of the team was also a benefit.

Two games featuring Americans on Monday, with Jay DeMerit returning from injury for Watford's 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers. DeMerit came on as a halftime substitute for Watford, with the score 1-1. Don Cowie made it 2-1 in the 56th and To Cleverley scored in stoppage time to finish off the 3-1 win.

By Graig Carbino - ALBANY, NY (Nov 19, 2009) USSoccerPlayers -- As someone watching a soccer game from the perspective of "analyst," it would be nice to always come up with spellbinding ideas of what worked and what didn't. We'd all like to have our own unique take on what just happened, why and why not, and all that.

Benny Feilhaber and Aarhus will try for their first win in nearly two months while Marcus Tracy is a likely candidate to continue leading Aalborg's front line in battle against Esbjerg.
