A surprise and special visit at the hotel this afternoon
when Charlie Davies dropped by to say hello to his friends on the team. Charlie is looking great
and walking on his own. He is returning to Delaware to continue rehabilitation; right now he is in
great spirits and taking things one day at a time.
ESPN's U.S. National Team Blog discusses the options available to replace Charlie Davies at forward
and also mentions a rumor that Carlos Bocanegra might be on the move from Rennes to St. Etienne.

U.S. defender Oguchi Onyewu was in Philadelphia this past weekend for the NSCAA Convention and
spoke with the MLS Insider Blog about his rehab and the progress he has made in recent weeks and
months.
There's an interesting article over at the NY Times Goal Blog that looks at who will replace
Clint Dempsey for the US if he's not fit for the World Cup. It's a good piece, but I do take issue
with the main premise Jeffrey Marcus looks at replacement midfielders (Rogers, Holden, and
Kljestan), but I feel that Dempsey should be playing forward, where he generally lines up at
Fulham.

last time you watched a professional game in person?
For me, it's been many months. The only professional team near me is Miami FC, which was
formerly in the USL.

The Game Based on what we saw this afternoon, this is a very important point won rather than two

At #96 on the list is a daisycutting beauty from Vladimir Smicer in the greatest ever Champions
League Final against AC Milan in 2004-2005. Down 0-3 at halftime due to goals from Paulo Maldini

slaughtered in the second half.

Up till a couple of years back, information about Liverpool's reserves and youth sides was limited
to those who could actually go to watch them played. All of that changed almost overnight when
LFCtv was launched and made it much easier for people to actually see whether the players that had
been billed as the next big thing were in reality any good.

issues.
