Cameron Keys, a member of the Philadelphia Union's academy system, was named as a part of US Soccer's 36 player under-15 national team camp. The goalkeeper joins the national team system as the country's two year cycle to prepare for the next under-17 World Cup begins.

Keys' addition to the national team pool at the youth level shows that the Union's 'odd' club based academy system can produce potential American internationals beyond current first team player Zach Pfeffer - the team's first ever home grown player signing.

Over the last week, youth soccer teams from all across the world converged on the state of Texas to compete in the 2011 edition of the prestigious Dallas Cup.

One Union affiliate club was involved in the action as Lehigh Valley United sent two of their teams to compete in Dallas.

Back in Pennsylvania, the Union hosted the national talent search Sueño MLS at their YSC Sports training facilities.

Every Easter week, Dallas plays host to one of the largest and more prominent youth tournaments in the nation (and the world). This year we had the opportunity to travel north from FBM HQ in Austin to take in the thirty-second edition of the Dallas Cup. Hundred of teams, thousands of players, and tens of thousands of fans took in a week's worth of action.

The FC Milwaukee Under-14 boys team tied two of its group matches this week at the 32nd annual Dallas Cup.

The Nationals opened Group G on Sunday with a 3-1 loss to Milan FC Rossoneri from Hilmar, Calif., then played 1-1 draws with Lonestars Pre-USSF Academy of Austin, Texas, on Monday and Mana from Monterrey, Mexico, on Wednesday.

Free beer at a youth tournament usually sounds like a bad idea (that's what the make flasks for, dad!), but the FBM is getting on the road to the nation's largest and most prestigious youth tournament in the nation, the Dallas Cup.
With the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, Corinthians, and several Major League Soccer sides sending their babies to D-Town.

Now that he's finally on the scoreboard, L.A. Galaxy forward Chad Barrett is hoping for brighter days in Los Angeles.

Barrett tallied his first goal in a Galaxy uniform on last Sunday's victory against the Chicago Fire. After starting several matches at the beginning of the season, Barrett has been resigned to the bench with Argentine Miguel Lopez taking his slot alongside Juan Pablo Angel.
