Or maybe they can just plead ignorance? Perhaps they'll have changed it by now, so I grabbed a
screenshot from Grant Wahl's recap just in case. Quick! What's wrong with this picture? Or rather,

According to Soccer365 there are even more teams after Onyewu now and few more going for Charlie
Davies. Voetbal International reports that Ajax have come in for free agent U.S. defender
Oguchi Onyewu, also adding Parma and Portsmouth to his list of suitors, while Gazzetta dello Sport
has Genoa and old suitor Livorno prowling around.
I'm going to admit right off the bat this blog won't be for everyone. This by far was one of the
most difficult blog posts I've ever written in the three plus years I've been blogging. Much of
this piece comes from the life experience I've had in my...

Charlie Davies has been released from the hospital and is progressing well in his recovery since
a terrible car accident in October. The American striker was on the rise after proving himself in
Europe, scoring consistently for the USA National Team, and contributing for Sochaux in Ligue 1. He
suffered significant injuries from the car crash and most figured a recovery in time for next
summer's World Cup Finals unrealistic.

Charlie Davies is lucky to be alive, and the long list of injuries he suffered in a deadly car
accident on late Monday evening provides the evidence.
Two of the biggest stars in the Confederations Cup for the United States have been Jay DeMerit

Word on the street is that the price tag for the 23 year-old US breakout star of the Confederations
Cup will be anywhere from is currently somewhere between € 2.

Why wouldn't MLS players dominate the January MLS Camp though? MLS season is long over and

This post is my attempt to release some nervous energy today in light of the events that killed a
young woman and put Charlie Davies in surgery for six hours; I won't be offended if you don't like
it...
This is one of the most distressing posts that I've had to write on this site. I'm sure you all
know the news by now that US national team striker Charlie Davies was a passenger in a SUV that was
in a horrific one-car accident this morning on the George Washington Memorial Parkway just outside
of Washington DC.
It was a busy weekend of soccer in Europ for Americans playing abroad. Oguchi Onyewu scored 2

Maurice Edu - Rangers - 1 goal
Harry Houdini just rolled over in his grave. The United States needed not just a minor miracle, but
they needed the downright impossible to happen today. Let's ask ourselves this question right
now... how many of you thought Brazil would beat Italy...

Sorry this is a little late, but I think it's an important discussion to have...
We've all read plenty of articles praising the Nats for their improbably run to the Cup finals,
so we'll spare you the discussion of their "grit" and "heart." (Funny I was always led to believe
that Frankie Hejduk was our sole source of these invaluable commodities.
Though the worst fears over his health and career have passed, it is highly unlikely (to put it
mildly) that Charlie Davies will be match fit in time for the 2010 World Cup. So
who to replace him?

With Charlie Davies in town for the Gold Cup launch on Saturday he had the opportunity to reunite

French Ligue 1 side Sochaux are reported to have Hammarby's young American striker Charlie Davies
in their sights for a summer transfer.
His agent Lyle Yorks told French web site Foot1; "Yes, Sochaux is very interested and
we'll sit down to finalize his arrival very soon.

Bundesliga. In France, Charlie Davies had his debut for Sochaux while Carlos Bocanegra has become a

started for Hannover 96.
Fans of the Red, White and Blue went into the 'Showdown at the Azteca' thinking not only was a

US Men's National Team forward Charlie Davies was involved in an early morning fatality accident
outside of Washington, DC. Davies injuries are not considered life threatening.

Ivan Obolo scored the winner in tonight's Stockholm derby at Råsunda, where AIK beat
Djurgården 1-0. "A really fine goal," Obolo told Canal Plus. Modest, isn't he?
AIK's Sporting Director was asked about Obolo's future after the game, and with the transfer
window approaching, he fell short of a resounding commitment to keep the Argentinian in Sweden.
Last game was amazing. While Spain were clearly a better, more skilled team than the USA,
everyone wearing the red, white, and blue put in a good performance. And believe it or not, we
were better on the day. Even our old foe Bob Bradley deserves credit. Ever since he changed to
a proper 4-4-2, the team has scored 5 goals and all were from the run of play!
It appears that the post-Confederations Cup transfer rumor mill is already in full swing, just
one day after the Americans' loss to Brazil in the final. Fox Sports reports that Charlie Davies is
being chased by clubs from Germany, France, and Holland. This would certainly be a step up for the
23-year-old striker if a deal is reached.
