United States National Team coach Bob Bradley released his roster for the Argentina and Paraguay friendlies. "This is an important opportunity to get our core group together along with some relatively newer faces as we consider the roster decisions for the Gold Cup this summer," Bradley said. "We have not had these players together for quite some time, so this is a great chance to get in a solid week of training and then face two quality opponents in Argentina and Paraguay.

Despite reports to the contrary, Danish Superligaen club AGF Aarhus has refuted news that Cleveland FC duo Connor Gilmour and Bryan Wolanski are on trial.

DaMarcus Beasley signed with Puebla earlier this summer in the hopes of reviving his club career, and that challenge begins for him this weekend.

Puebla opens its Apertura campaign on Saturday against Atlas, and Beasley will hope to make his first start for the club.

Benny Feilhaber...After a career that spanned Germany, England and AGF Aarhus in Denmark, Feilhaber is returning to the US, to undertake a new beginning with MLS. Having fallen off the radar as of late with the US during friendlies despite some phenomenal outings, Feilhaber signed on the last day for international transfers, April 15th.

The transfer deadline day has its long-awaited major splash.

According to his agent, Benny Feilhaber has signed with Major League Soccer and will be leaving AGF Aarhus in Denmark, where he has played since 2008. The representative for the U.S. men's national team midfielder, Lyle Yorks, said via Twitter, "Congrats to Benny Feilhaber--officially coming back to MLS!

MLS recently announced the signing of Benny Feilhaber from AGF Aarhus of the Danish second division. Feilhaber has been a regular sub for the USMNT, often adding a needed jolt of energy to the midfield late in games. He was getting some playing time in Denmark, so this move may not have a huge impact on his role with the national team.

After transferring from AGF Aarhus to MLS, Benny Feilhaber feels the lessons learned from his time in Europe have strengthened him as a player and prepared him for the challenges lying ahead.

The U.S. men's national team heads into tonight's friendly vs. Paraguay searching for its first win of 2011, but also searching for the right combination of players as the team draws closer and closer to this summer's Gold Cup.

Tonight's friendly (8pm, Fox Soccer Channel) should provide a showcase for some talented youngsters who impressed in Saturday's match against Argentina.

As we enter the fifth week of the 2011 season, things are starting to take shape. Portland opened its home, Jeld- Wen Field, on Thursday with an electrifying 4-2 win over Chicago before nearly 19000 fans, meaning that all MLS teams but Sporting have now played a home game. This weekend that momentum will be as important for Portland as it will be for all other clubs both on and off the field, as all teams will be looking for wins and attendance, as many have found either (or both) of the two to be elusive.

As Fire fans, we are all obviously disappointed with yesterday's 2-1 loss to a severely reduced LA Galaxy side. However, I wanted to touch on a different subject full of problems: the MLS Allocation List. USMNT midfielder Benny Feilhaber has just signed a deal to return to the US from Danish second division club AGF Aarhus.

Benny Feilhaber signed a contract with MLS this past weekend after spending the last few seasons in Denmark with AGF Aarhus. The USA international rose through the Hamburg youth system and also had a fairly disappointing stint in England at Derby County, and now he will be placed on a team via allocation order.

United States National Team midfielder Benny Feilhaber is now a member of the New England Revolution. Feilhaber signed with Major League Soccer last week and went through the returning US National Team player allocation process. Chivas USA and the Philadelphia Union both chose to keep their first and second positions in the allocation order.

After a nearly six-year spell in Europe, American midfielder Benny Feilhaber has officially joined MLS team New England Revolution after leaving Danish club AGF Aarhus, where he had spent the last three seasons.
