I just dropped in because I had to share this.- Greg Seltzer
After only minor action in stage one of the fandangled MLS Re-Entry Draft, all hell broke loose in
da next episode.The best bits: the L.A. Galaxy grab Juan Pablo Angel (just as Edson Buddle starts a
Birmingham City trial, no less), Jeff Cunningham goes back to the Crew, Josh Wolff heads to D.C.
United and four name veteran defenders get new homes.
[Photo: Tom Tomsk]With my transfer window chase now firmly on, it's been hectic around here lately.
Let's get you caught up with my latest, just in case you missed something.- Today's MLSS Postcard
From Europe: Eugene Starikov- A bit of winter break Benny buzz, with a Mexican league player- My
MLS Expansion Draft Week Winners & Losers- Oguchi Onyewu could change his mind about a loan spell-
Why not have a longer look back at Jonathan Spector's big night. We have extended highlights, which
you can follow with the match star's post-game interview and a few remarks about his old boy from
Sir Alex.West Ham United v Manchester UnitedGeüpload door paScali300. - Ontdek de laatste en beste

I'll have a full blast later on, but let's just not pretend that awarding World Cups to Russia and
Qatar was based on strength of proposals. Mmmmkay?- Greg Seltzer
I delayed this a little so as to get out of Sean's FIFA-questioning way, but now let's enjoy some
circus acts...Let's begin with the adventures of Mr. Wiggly Hypnotizement, more commonly known as
Zlatan. I love the music.At a time, Groningen chased the services of Vitesse's Marcus Pedersen. And
then they were winning 4-0.
Next up on the soccer movie production line is what sounds like a hoot: Russell Brand as a whacked
out pro footballer who comes to America for his final big contract. So... if he's going to Texas,
does that make him a Dynamo? An FC Dallas-er? Is MLS going to be involved?I'm asking around and
will report back.
Cover your ears. The Jack Warner wah-mbulance is screaming down our street. I'm wondering what is
more pathetic; that a grown man would hold this attitude or that he can freely admit it in public
without losing job/organizational face."Suffice it to say the Fifa exco as a body could not have
voted for England having been insulted by their media in the worst possible way at the same time.
The silly season is whipping up, so I'm already busy on the hunt. You can find this year's monster
Top 5 Potential Summer Euro-Freebies over at S365, and I'll drop the MLS version here soon. A
little switch from past editions. Why the change? No idea...We start with more FIFA fun. Could
Qatar share hosting duties with surrounding countries?
Stuart Holden returned to the Bolton line-up with a bang, scoring a shorthanded 2-1 derby winner
over Blackburn with two minutes remaining (and less than a minute after Rovers had equalized, as
you can see). - Greg Seltzer
It's bad enough when the internet goes in and out all day. For it to happen on a Monday is just
plain rude...Let's kick off the show of shows with a peek in on the hijinx of fresh Heracles Almelo
talent Samuel Armenteros (FYI: he's Swedish).So let's discuss: should Barcelona opponents be
allowed to field 12 men?
As always, I reveal my Honda Player of the Year ballot to everyone once it's been cast. I actually
sent it in last week and it slipped my mind. So here goes, flame away...#1 - Clint Dempsey#2 -
Landon Donovan#3 - Michael BradleyBear in mind that my top pick rarely ends up winning.- Greg

Bah! I was putting this all together for a winter wonderland Friday reveal, and then someone at AP
calls up Charlie Davies on Thursday. BAH, I say!Just kidding, it's all good news for our dude. You
can smile all Christmas-y again.- Greg Seltzer
Yup. Charlies Davies is in the Sochaux 18 for their match against Bordeaux tomorrow. I may do a
mini-LIVE if he enters the match, so check back.- Greg Seltzer
[Photo: TZ]Another quick hallelujah return note: 1860 Munich forward Kenny Cooper is in uniform for
the Lions today. He's on the bench, the score is 1-0 to guests Paderborn midway through the opening
frame and I will report back at full time whether he gets in the game or not.- Greg Seltzer
Our man Charlie Davies is on the sub's bench for the Sochaux v Bordeaux tilt that kicks off at the
top of the hour (11 am ET). I will make score updates and switch to a LIVE if the #9 shirt enters
the game for his first club action in over 14 months. Stay tuned...- Greg Seltzer
Estoril forward Tony Taylor netted the eventual winner with a sweet header (play starts at about
1:43 in the clip, right after the crazy free kick from the far sideline) as his side topped
promotion chasers Arouca 5-2 to snap a three-game losing streak. Enjoy... - Greg Seltzer
After today's Continental Shifts at S365, this is me until next Tuesday (though I surely can still
post any Americans Abroad goal clips, just perhaps not quite as quickly)... - Greg Seltzer
Can't spill yet, but I expect two U.S. internationals to secure moves by the weekend. Stay
tuned...- Greg Seltzer
I've been informed that the second forthcoming move of a U.S. international has been complicated
enough (by a new competing offer? hmmm) to put its completion off until at least Monday.Have a good
one, everybody.- Greg Seltzer
Here is a little update on the transfer saga surrounding AGF midfielder Benny Feilhaber, a guy who
looked all but set to be on the move last week, only to have bidding intensify.And as promised, a
new nugget for ya: the same agent also reps Oguchi Onyewu, and he told me that the bug guy is now
open to a loan move outside Serie A - a reversal I am theoretically tying to the emergence of
serious
