The U.S. Men's National Team moves a step closer to the start of World Cup qualifying tonight in
Toronto with a match against Canada (7pm, NBC Sports) that will serve as the final tune-up before
qualifying kicks off on Friday in Tampa.
The Americans will be looking to recover from last Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Brazil by beating a
team they haven't lost to since 1985.
With the members of the Men's National Team playing on club teams all across the globe, it's
inevitable that they'll eventually have to play against some of their current or former teammates
in games with the USA. This trip has been no exception, as Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu have
already faced some of their Rangers teammates in the game against Scotland.
According to U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, defender Geoff Cameron is
"knocking at the door" in his nascent international career. His successful January camp combined
with good performances with the Houston Dynamo earned him a call-up to participate in the
‘Five-Game Tournament and he was rewarded with a start in the 5-1 win against Scotland.
I know the transfer window doesn't open until tomorrow, but I've had some time to dig into this
Geoff Cameron interest story originally broken at Soccer By Ives (like so many of you have pleaded)
and here's the skinny: Houston should expect a couple few offers in the coming days. For reals.
This is not a drill.

USA vs Scotland 2012 Highlights 5-1 Donovan Hat trick Bradley Jones Cameron Goals Video
Jacksonville Friendly Score USMNT is a post from Soccer Blogger.
In case anyone was wondering: Landon Donovan hasn't lost his mojo. And Saturday's performance
was proof positive.
A trio of goals from the Galaxy playmaker powered the United States to a 5-1 thrashing of
Scotland in an international friendly at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla.
Donovan, who returned to pitch after an eight-month hiatus from the national team, opened his
account in the 3rd minute, and added two more in the 60th and 65th minutes.
The United States wasted no time as Landon Donovan put them on top in the third minute. The goal
was a result of turnover good play in the midfield which resulted in a great chance for Donovan.
His first shot was saved but he quickly followed up and sent a shot just under the crossbar to make
it 1-0.
Below are player ratings for the United States in their 5-1 win against Scotland on May 26,
2012.
USA
Howard 6 Rarely was tested but as usual was solid
Cherundolo 7 Continues to be arguably the most consistent player for the USA
Cameron 5.5 Overall was positive except for the own goal early
Bocanegra 6 solid all night but really didn't have a lot of work to do
Johnson 6 Started to look like the starting left-back for World Cup Qualifying
Jones 7.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann talked earlier in the
week about starting this jampacked summer by defeating Scotland in an exciting manner.
Klinsmann got just what he asked for.
Kickoff is looming, so we have the starters and a starter, the snazzy new Behind The Crest clip. As
for the line-up... well well, Torres on left wing - and I thought that was only the notion of a
madman. Ha! Howard; Cherundolo, Cameron, Bocanegra, Johnson, Edu, Bradley, Jones, Donovan, Torres,
Boyd Bench: Guzan, Onyewu, Beckerman, Castillo, Corona, Gomez, Wondolowski - Greg

ORLANDO, Fla.-- Geoff Cameron's time with the Houston Dynamo could be coming to a close in the
near future.
The Dynamo centerback is currently attracting interest from several clubs abroad, sources with
knowledge of the situation told SBI on Thursday.
When Jurgen Klinsmann named the 27-man roster for the current U.S. national team training camp,
the players who didn't get called in were as big a story as the players who Klinsmann did call in.
The absences of several players came as a surprise, while some other long-shots didn't come through
for some fans.
While Geoff Cameron and most of the biggest names in U.S. Soccer are in Orlando training this week,
I cannot help but think that Jurgen Klinsmann would be wise to call up Will Bruin in the future. By
the time the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicks off, I'll be surprised if Bruin isn't on the national
team.
Their Words "I went through it all in 1999, when we lost so dramatically in Barcelona. That was
unbelievably brutal, but I almost have the impression this evening is somehow even more bitter,
brutal and basically also unnecessary. The pain is unbelievable." Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge. Other Sources Dynamo's Cameron called back for shot at U.
Including today's 11 additions, the USMNT has 27 going for 23 spots in the "tourney simulation
squad" starting with Saturday's Scotland friendly. I may have additional thoughts later, but for
now I'm just trying to figure out why Eric Lichaj is not along (while Alfredo Morales is). And Zusi
over Kljestan?
Luiz Camargo scored his first career MLS goal for the Houston Dynamo and Saturday, and it could
not have come at a better time.
Camargo buried an 87th-minute equalizer off a left-footed volley to give the Dynamo a 2-2 draw
with the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. The near-post finish negated Saer Sene's
second goal of the game, and left the Revolution with their latest bit of heartbreak this
season.
The Revolution took to the pitch at Gillette Stadium tonight looking for their first victory of
the 2012 season against an Eastern Conference opponent. In the end, they settled for a point-undone
yet again by poor defending on set pieces and a late goal. Tonight's result brings the Revs to
4-6-1 on the season, with 13 points, tied with Houston (3-3-4) in the standings.

Crewe squeaked past Southend United to reach the League Two play-off final, drawing 2-2 at Roots
Hall and advancing courtesy of their narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg despite the best efforts
of Railwaymen striker Byron Moore to bungle it for his side.
Crewe defeated Southend last night to reach the League Two play-off final and nobody was more
relived than striker Byron Moore. The Railwaymen's victory means Moore avoided a lynching for this
shocking miss. With his side 0-2 up on aggregate, Moore was presented with an open goal after a
scuffed clearance from Shrimpers' keeper [.
Well that was not a match to write home about. It happens in every sport, not every game is
great and while last night's nil-nil draw between the Houston Dynamo and the Portland Timbers will
not make any highlight reels, it wasn't the worst match we've ever seen. It's a little
disappointing to leave points on the table against a struggling Timbers side but considering the
lineup changes and the insanely busy schedule the Dynamo are facing right now, a point is a
point.
Tuesday night's game between the Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers will be memorable for it
being the first night game at BBVA Compass Stadium. But that's about it.
The two clubs combined for few chances in a sluggish 0-0 draw in front of a sellout crowd at
MLS' newest stadium.
Yankee skipper Jurgen Klinsmann announced a contingent of 16 primarily foreign players to attend
US World Cup Qualifying camp on Tuesday.

Landon Donovan and Terrence Boyd saw fit to make their own announcements personally.
That puts 18 in bunk beds with 11 still waiting to receive an email.

Geoff Cameron has kept very busy over the course of the past six months.
From playing playing in friendlies with the U.S. men's national team to continuing his
transition to centerback with the Houston Dynamo, Cameron has not had too many dull moments since
falling at the hands of the Los Angeles Galaxy in last season's MLS Cup final.
Major League Soccer's newest soccer-specific stadium will officially open Saturday afternoon, as
the Houston Dynamo end their season-opening, seven-game road trip to open up BBVA Compass Stadium
against D.C. United.
The final touches have been put on the stadium, which Geoff Cameron told the Houston Chronicle
is like "an oven" because of the lack of wind that carries through the park.
Geoff Cameron made it clear in an interview with Chron.com that the new BBVA Compass Stadium
will not be a forgiving environment for opposition.
"There was some slight breeze at Robertson because there was that hole when you played the game.
There is no wind in the new stadium, none.
"There is no wind in the new stadium, none. It's an oven, so it kind of sucks for the other team
coming in because they're going to die." -Geoff Cameron

Geoff Cameron could not have been more adamant. Asked if he would miss decrepit Robertson Stadium,
the U.S. national team center back sounded like a man whose divorce was finally complete and he was
eager to move away from a miserable and evil ex. "Nothing! Nothing," Cameron said proudly when he
was asked what he [.

Queens Park Rangers 1-0 Stoke City Premier League 6th May 2012
Djibril Cissé's (half) season with QPR has been a bizarre mixture of goals and red cards, but
today against Stoke, Hoops fans saw the better side of the Frenchman, with his late strike securing
an utterly vital win for the strugglers at Loftus Road.
Fulham got a rare away win and Stoke were held at home by Everton in the English Premier League
on Tuesday, May 1, 2012.
Liverpool 0-1 Fulham
Liverpool, who had one eye on the upcoming FA Cup final, once again struggled at Anfield. Fulham
would get the match winner in the 5th minute as a shot on goal deflected off Liverpool's Martin
Skrtel and went into the back of the net.

Stoke City 1-1 Everton Premier League 1st May 2012
Former Birmingham City hitman Cameron Jerome came off the bench to net an equaliser for Stoke at
the Britannia, in a game lacking much quality.
Spindly striker Peter Crouch had given the visiting Toffees the lead just before half-time when
he deflected a Tony Hibbert cross into his own goal.

The Dynamo have played five MLS matches in 2012, all on the road. They have 2 wins, 2 draws and
a loss, for a total of eight points, good enough for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. If the
playoffs started today, the Dynamo would be out...but they don't start today. There are still two
matches until the home opener in the brand spankin' new BBVA Compass Stadium, but no matter what
happens in those 180 minutes of soccer, things are looking good for Houston.
The Houston Dynamo fought back from an Eddie Gaven brace to record a 2-2 draw against Columbus
last night at Crew Stadium.
And what a brace it was. Following a Will Bruin goal, Gaven went to work, scoring via a
boneheaded series of plays from the Dynamo backline, specifically, and in order, by Bobby Boswell,
Andre Hainault and Geoff Cameron, and then recording another wonderstrike from distance.
Last week Houston Dynamo Defender Geoff Cameron announced that he would be working with Dynamo
Charities to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The fundraising will include an
upcoming celebrity pour, campaign T-shirts, a FIFA Street tournament, and a special ticket package
for the Dynamo's match against the Portland Timbers on May 15th.
