For not including Jeremiah White in the roster for the Denmark friendly:
This, my friends, is a bush league maneuver.
Now, nobody is suggesting White should be thrust into the World Cup frame suddenly - but to not
even call the guy into camp for a game at his club's home park is an overt slap in the
face.
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.

-Are you surprised to see Jimmy Conrad back on the team?
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.
TPS Turku bade ‘farewell' to Wayne Brown this week after the Fulham midfielder finished his
summer loan spell at the club. The attacking midfielder, who is hoping to break into the first team
of the Premier League club this season, made a very positive impression on Finnish football,
scoring an impressive six goals in 19 [.

So much for Edgar Castillo's call up.
In Danish "Agurketid" means "cucumber time", to denote a period with almost nothing in the news. I
guess these days are football-agurketid for me. Sure there are matches in the Libertadores, first
round CL qualifiers, the gold cup, as well as numerous rumours about transfers (although most are
about Real Madrid), but without some of my favourite leagues there is not much to talk about.
Danny Califf hope to use Midtjylland' homefield advantage to scrounge a win over Michael Parkhust's
Nordsjaelland while Jeremiah White and Benny Feilhaber try to keep AGF's streak alive.
#1 - After seeing two points grifted by Michael Dawson's late cracker, Aston Villa keeper Brad
Friedel told reporters that Brad Guzan's declaration of pushing the elder was no joke. He is
pushing the starter, and the starter was terrific this week.Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspurvon

a new shirt after
I've been trying to find a good quality clip of Charlie Davies' ESPN Sunday interview, but no dice.
However, a Du Nord reader hooked up a makeshift webcam version to fill the online void. We also
have a brief interview with AGF attacker Jeremiah White about his future with the club.Today, I
have so much stuff, I'm needing to be picky and make cuts.
No goals in the SAS-Ligaen matchup between Marcus Tracy's Aalborg and Benny Feilhaber's AGF Aarhus.
Both players went the full-ninety, with Jeremiah White not involved for Aarhus. 16 games into the
season, Aalborg are fifth wit 24 points and Aarhus are seventh with 23. Odense leads the SAS-Ligaen
with 35 points.
