Want a sign that there could be some good will among soon-to-be Northwest MLS rivals Seattle and
Vancouver: The Whitecaps are currently training at Oxnard College in Oxnard, Calif.
The Sounders' inaugural out-of-town camp was held at the same place in February 2009, though the
club had to move from the school to a public park to nearby Ventura College to get in work because
of inclement weather.

The Daily News reports this morning, "It appears the rumor regarding Colombian goalkeeper Faryd
Mondragon joining the Union is true." Sources say the deal only needs approval from the league.
I would like to take this opportunity to start another rumor: Mondragon's closeness with Juan
Pablo Angel (Angel is godfather to Mondragon's son) means that Angel will join the Union.
The Philadelphia Union has lost four players since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Shea
Salinas and Alejandro Moreno were selected in the Expansion Draft, and, this week, Chris Seitz and
Fred also left the club via the new Reentry Draft. So far the club has added only one player,
Brian Carroll, at the crowded defensive midfielder position.
