The U.S. Men's National Team is back in sunny South Florida, which for years has served as a familiar site for training camps and as a launching point for trips to other parts of the region. This trip offers the bonus of a match at the end of the week, the U.S. taking on Honduras on Oct. 8 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reportedly signed a presidential decree on the naturalization of six foreign football players, allowing them to become Indonesian.

"We've received a copy of the decree for the naturalized footballers," said Nurhikmat Hamzah, the head of the Citizenship Naturalization section under the Law and Human Rights Ministry, on Thursday as quoted by tribunnews.

Arsenal.com, the official website covering all things Gunners, has a long form interview with their former prodigy, Mr. Steve Zakuani. First noted by @joshuamayers on twitter, Zakuani addresses his national team affiliation as well as growing up within the Arsenal Academy. Considering the attention given lately to the idea of playing his as a forward here's his quote regarding where he played;

I was there for five years and loved every minute.

Aurelien Collin made an interesting comment on Twitter the other day, saying that he is going to be an American citizen soon. It's an interesting comment and extremely odd at the same time. Collin hasn't spent near enough time in the country to be getting his citizenship. The more likely thing that is going on is that Collin is going to be getting his green card.

Andy Najar will apparently end the mystery Tuesday afternoon.

D.C. United has scheduled a press conference for 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday during which Najar will discuss his national team future and presumably pick which country he will represent, either his native Honduras or the United States.

Andy Najar is the 18-year old winger, already believed by some to be one of DC United's best players. He had an impressive first season, making 28 appearances and scoring 5 goals. That performance created a lot of buzz, particularly because he is a US resident on a path to citizenship and could play for the USMNT or for his home country, Honduras.

Adelaide United striker Sergio Van Dyke has rejected talk he may move to the Liga Primer Indonesia. He is applying for Indonesian citizenship and feels playing in the rebel league could jeopardise his chances of representing Indonesia in the future.

After the dust finally settled on the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, several promising college prospects were left still looking for a team. In Tuesday's Supplemental Draft, they'll get a second chance to find an MLS home.

Northern Kentucky's Steven Beattie is among the top prospects still available in Tuesday's Supplemental Draft.
