By now all Manchester United fans would have known that we've agreed to sell Mame Biram Diouf to
Hannover 96. The question, I'm pondering over is Why? Diouf was signed from Molde FK in July 2009,
and after a 30-month stay in English football, he's moving to Germany. I find his transfer really
weird! During all this time, he has played lot of football, he has gained valuable experience and
made
Vancouver Whitecaps striker Omar Salgado and Real Salt Lake midfielder Luis Gil are among the 36
players called in by head coach Tab Ramos to the U.S. Under-20 national team camp in Fort
Lauderdale this week.
Molde fullback Sean Cunningham, Liverpool signee Villyan Bijev, Nuremberg midfielder Tyrone
McCargo and SC Freiburg midfielder Caleb Stanko were also among the pros called into the week-long
camp in Florida.
Though he is injured and did not play in Sunday's clinching draw, let us not forget to throw up a
salute to Josh Gatt's Molde FK, winners of the first Tippeligan crown in club history.While they
play a summer schedule like MLS, let's count him as the first American Abroad champion of this
general "season" - he's also the second to win in Norway after Robbie Russell.

If you saw Clint Dempsey score in Fulham's game against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, you didn't
just see him hit a winner.
You saw him make history.
Dempsey's first-half strike in Fulham's 2-0 win versus Wigan gave him 36 league goals in his
Premiership career, tying the U.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won the Norwegian league title in his first year of management at the
club he used to play for. Molde FK are a 100 year old Norwegian club that most of you probably
hadn't heard of until they sold us a 23-year-old Solskjaer in 1996. He had scored 31 goals in 38
games and had attracted interest from a few clubs across Europe.

It's been over a year since Herculez Gomez last represented the U.S. men's national team, but
that drought could soon end after Gomez's latest goal-scoring performance.

Ever since Oguchi Onyewu was inserted into Sporting CP's starting lineup, the club has done
something it did only once during the opening month of the season: Win.
Onyewu has helped Sporting CP come out victorious in its last three matches across all
competitions, and as a result, he'll likely get the nod again when the club faces Vitoria
Setubal.

Jozy Altidore isn't the only one lighting up the scoreboards during the early part of the
European season.
Robbie Findley scored his third goal of the season across all competitions for Nottingham Forest
in its 4-1 loss to West Ham United.
As Molde FK currently sit in first place in Norway's Tippeligaen and are aiming for their first
ever league title, in recent weeks they have been lead by the exceptional play of 19 year old
American Josh Gatt.
An exciting new concept in youth football begins on Wednesday as the NextGen Series, billed as
an Under-19 equivalent of the UEFA Champions League, begins its maiden season. Sixteen clubs from
Europe have entered a team into the inaugural competition with England having the highest
representation with four teams followed by the Netherlands and Norway who have two each.
FIFA has come down hard hard on North Korea for having players test positive during the 2011 FIFA
Women's World Cup, including excluding the team from participating in the 2015 FIFA Women's World
Cup in Canada. That means that should the USA qualify for 2015, it will not play the North Koreans
for what would have been the FIFTH straight Women's World Cup.

Old Trafford old boy Ole Gunnar Solskjær told UEFA.com he has not been tempted to call Sir Alex
Ferguson for advice yet as he embarks upon a coaching career with Molde FK.
If you've ever wondered what life is like for young players who move to Europe, you'll definitely
want to check out the article the Detroit Free Press ran this weekend about Josh Gatt and Sean
Cunningham.

program.

If there is one American who has flown under the radar despite putting together a solid but
quiet season in Europe, it is Carlos Bocanegra.
Bocanegra will end a strong first campaign with St Etienne this weekend when the club takes on
Paris Saint-Germain.

a pair of friendlies against France. A 3-3 draw on May 17 and a 2-1 loss on May 19 saw the US start

weekend with one main goal in mind: Keep Orebro undefeated.
After recording two 1-0 wins to start the season, Orebro will take on Gefle in a match between
two teams currently in the top five of the Allsvenskan table.
I see there are no Modern Family episodes in April. Therefore, I've decided, April is a lesser

The U.S. U-20 men's national team is one win away from reaching this summer's World Cup, and one
player who could be on the team that isn't right now is Joshua Gatt. The 19-year-old attacker made
that more likely with another start for Molde FK this weekend.
Items coming fast and furious for a Saturday here. At noon ET, Josh Gatt and the rest of Ole Gunnar
Solskjær's Molde FK will make the short trip to face nearby rivals Aalesund FK in ther finally
tune-up friendly before the 2011 season begins. Luckily, a regional newspaper is streaming the
match live.
Molde and the homecoming of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a post from: Just Football
Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Despite being nigh on impossible for most non-Norwegian to pronounce, this
is most likely the most famous Norwegian name worldwide. And it may be the only Norwegian name
people from Ghana, China, Austria and Australia all know.
STARTERSSome potential bad news appears to be brewing in the Netherlands as Oguchi Onyewu was subbed off
after just 26 minutes in a league Cup game today at Twente due to what is reported to be a lower
back injury. (Game info: tied PSV 1-1, and advanced 7-6 in Penalty Kick Shootout.
