Why is our backup goalkeeper getting arrested for assault in a bar?

Ed Miliband calls really early. Too early. These days I have to set my alarm for 6am in order to be
fully awake before he starts chasing me.
Before Ed's calls, I listen to the depressing daily news on the Today programme. Unemployment sky
rocketing, the economy flat-lining, more arrests at News International.
With the Houston Dynamo's preseason well under way, it's not surprising that last night's Dynamo
All Access with Glenn Davis on Sports Talk 790 in Houston featured interviews with Geoff Cameron,
Dominic Kinnear, and Eddie Robinson. If you missed last night's show, you can catch up via the
podcast:
Dynamo all access 1 30 2012 Hr 1: Geoff Cameron joins Glenn on the show to talk about the
National team and his performance.
Former Portland Timbers stalwart defender Cameron Knowles has been hired by the his old club as an
assistant coach to replace Trevor James who left in December. Knowles joins the coaching staff lead
by head coach John Spencer and assistant coaches Mike Toshack and Minnesotan, Amos Magee . Knowles,
an Auckland, New Zealand native, attended [.
The Portland Timbers announced another signing today, to the coaching ranks, in Cameron Knowles.
Cameron as many of you know played for the Timbers during their USL era from 2007 until 2010.
During that time he played in 77 games and was an integral part of the defense.
John Spencer says:
"I'm really pleased we can add Cameron to our staff.
The Portland Timbers reached back into their USL history for their latest assistant coach hire
after Trevor James left the team in December. Cameron Knowles, a defender for the USL/USSF D2
Timbers between 2007 and 2010, will join Coach John Spencer's staff effective immediately.
Last night, I was at work and I missed the USA at Panama match on Galavision from Estadio Rommel
Fernandez in Panama City. Too bad, it would have been my first look at lots of young USMNT
prospects making their debut with the senior NT. The starting lineup was Nick Rimando in goal, AJ
De La Garza, Michael Parkhurst, Geoff Cameron, and Zach Loyd in the back, Ricardo Clark and
Jermaine Jones in the

The US "Camp Cupcake" roster closed out their camp down in Panama today with a 1-0 win thanks to a
goal by Sporting KC midfielder, Graham Zusi. Like the game on Saturday against Venezuela, both Zusi
and Teal Bunbury started for the United States, while CJ Sapong found himself starting on the
bench. The US got a good start, as Zusi finished off a chance in the 8th minute to give the US a
1-0 lead.
After each match the contributors to New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of the
United States National Team players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5
average, 10 perfection). This week Brian O'Connell, Julian Cardillo and Sean Donahue contributed
ratings for the USA's 1-0 victory over Panama.
Graham Zusi got his first National Team goal in his second National Team game, putting the United
States up eight minutes into Wednesday night's friendly against Panama. Both teams pressed the
offense in the first-half, with US goalkeeper Nick Rimando and his counterpart Luis Mejia called
into service.
Hmm. Looks like a 4-4-2 diamond for the USMNT tonight. Not especially feelin' it, still don't
understand why this camp roster wasn't larger. Oh well.. enjoy the game, player ratings after at
MLSS and Will plans to drop some thoughts tomorrow morning.Rimando; DeLaGarza, Parkhurst, Cameron,
Loyd, Zusi, Clark, Jones, Shea, Wondolowski, Bunbury- Greg Seltzer
The United States is running out of chances to find some solid form before World Cup qualifying
starts in summer. Tonight, they take on a Panamanian team they really should beat and they will be
returning to the 4-4-2 that Jurgen Klinsmann has seemed so intent on doing away with. Chris
Wondolowski will start alongside Teal Bunbury at forward.

With the first friendly of 2012 producing a thrilling, though somewhat disappointing 1-0 victory
against Venezuela on Saturday, the U.S. men's national team is now in Panama preparing for the
first tough road match for this young group.
Jurgen Klinsmann scheduled this Panama match with the expressed purpose of testing inexperienced
players in a hostile environment, and the opponent is one who should provide a tougher test than
the one provided by Venezuela.

Stoke City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion Premier League 21st January 2012
West Brom secured a vital three points away at a blustery Britannia against a Stoke side who
never really got into their stride.

It wasn't that long ago that Providence product Michael Parkhurst and Attleboro native Geoff
Cameron were just two local talents hoping to play their way from the grassy fields of
southeastern New England onto the big stage.
Cue the big stage.
On Saturday, the defending duo both of whom played club soccer for Rhode Island-based Bayside FC
found themselves paired together in the center of the United States defense for the first time
during the squad's 1-0 shutout of Venezuela.
Before we dig into some of my takeaways from tonight's battle with Venezuela (another
three-pointer!), the original starting lineup: Bill Hamid, A.J. DeLaGarza, Michael Parkhurst, Geoff
Cameron, Heath Pearce, Jeff Larentowicz, Jermaine Jones, Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber, Brek Shea,
Teal Bunbury. As for the highlights, check out the ESPN3 replay here.

So, sitting here this afternoon thoroughly enjoying the Bundesliga back in action after an
interminable winter break, I have come across a series of stories that might just warm the hearts
of us Houston Dynamo supporters near and far.
First comes this excellent piece from Soccer America about Geoff Cameron in USMNT
camp.
Geoff Cameron has been a standout for the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer, and has not only
lead the Dynamo into the MLS Cup this past season, but also received a recent call-up to the US
National team.
His play is worthy of national team consideration, but it's his presence and positive attitude that
have been key components in his success.
The U.S. men's national team will play its first match of 2012, and an MLS-heavy squad will take
the field against Venezuela on Saturday night in Arizona with many players looking to impress
Jurgen Klinsmann and work their way into the full senior team mix.
Some familiar faces are back in the mix as Benny Feilhaber and Ricardo Clark are in camp, while
Heath Pearce joins them as the only players on the camp roster with more than 30 caps.
Oh look, Cameron gets asked a question which irks him and straight away resorts to nasty jibes and
insults. It does seem to me that Cameron sees the House of Commons as a bothersome inconvenience
distracting him from gala lunches and cosy meetings at Chequers.
The club website sprang into action again yesterday afternoon and highlighted a double strike
for our forgotten man John Bostock as a strong Spurs XI demolished a weaker Celtic side by four
goals to one at the Lodge.
Perhaps it was more telling that John had started the game on the subs' bench and only came into
action after an injury to Cameron Lancaster, who had opened the scoring in the 18th minute.
Their Words "It's true, I am not totally familiar with the way things are over here in CONCACAF,
but I will be. This is one of the main reasons that we will go play a friendly in Panama later this
month." US National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Other Sources Solving the U.S. back line puzzle -

Athletic Bilbao tonked third-tier side Albacete (bit of trivia: Andres Iniesta is the club's
majority shareholder) 4-0 in the Copa del Rey at the San Mames last night, with the third goal of
the night being scored by forward Gaizka Toquero a man who, to quote Wikipedia, is 'blessed with
few technical skills but is a tremendous hard-worker'.

After some back and forth this morning, the Montreal Impact held on to their number one pick and
took Duke defender/midfielder Andrew Wenger.
Wenger should come in right away and be a starter for this expansion club.
By Jason Davis - WASHINGTON, DC (Jan 12, 2011) US Soccer Players -- After a grueling
invitation-only three-day combine in Florida, young players with professional dreams will be chosen
by needy teams anxious to find the next Taylor Twellman, Steve Zakuani, or Geoff Cameron. It's
Major League Soccer's SuperDraft, a reprieve for those that can't abide a couple of months without
MLS soccer.
One of the best things about being a Dynamo fan is our players give 200% on the field -- yes,
this is mathematically an impossibility, however, none of us would argue they do indeed give a full
200% -- except perhaps the occasional Right Midfielder/Winger from say Jamaica, not to single any
one specific player out or anything.
The USA will hold its annual January training camp for players who are currently in their
offseason.
The camp will run Jan 3-26 and training will take place in Phoenix, Carson CA and Panama.
They will finish with 2 games:
-Jan 21 v Venezuela
-Jan 25 at Panama

The tories have outdone themselves this time. Somehow they think they've vetoed a major treaty
that's actually gone ahead anyway leaving us basically out in the cold.
Our neighbours have gone ahead and done everything without us so all Cameron has achieved is to
drive a wedge between us and Europe for no other reason than to appease his own party's xenophobic
Tea-Party element.
Sergio Koke and Carlo Costly may have ultimately been disappointing signings, but there's no
question Brazilian midfielder Luiz Camargo was a fantastic late season pick-up for the Dynamo.
Camargo fit right in to the central midfield role, allowing Geoff Cameron to return to the defense.
His play down the stretch was a big part of the Dynamo's improved form and run to the MLS Cup
Final.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter is facing what could be the toughest phase of his career as football
head in the more than 10 years since he took over from Joao Havelange.
The president recently came out to say that England are still bitter at him for their failed
attempt to land the hosting rights to the 2018 tournament.

Glenn Davis, the Houston Dynamo's local play-by-play voice, also does a weekly radio show in
Houston dedicated to both the Dynamo and the sport of soccer. Last night was his first show since
Brian Ching was selected by the Montreal Impact in the Expansion Draft. Dynamo defender Geoff
Cameron and head coach Dominic Kinnear were both guest on the show and had some interesting
comments concerning the Ching situation.
Boom. Well, at least if Ching is gone, we have no doubt that Geoff Cameron is ready to step up
in to a team leadership role...not that we ever doubted that would happen anyway.
Well said Geoff. I believe this is what you might call a "verbal bitch slap".
I had it all wrong. There was no way that the Galaxy were going to defeat the Houston Dynamo 3-1.
They always looked like winning Sunday's MLS finale, but it's only fitting that the final scoreline
would be the Galaxy's 11th win by the minimum this season. The loss of Brad Davis, who was the
league's best creator alongside David Beckham, crippled the Dynamo's midfield, and the in-match
injury to Geoff Cameron weakened their backline severely.
Their Words A forward like that, you give him one opportunity, he puts it away. You shut him down
all game and all of a sudden he gets an opportunity and puts the ball in the back of the net.
