USA 2014 World Cup Squad Projection Version 1.5 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
It's been a few months since the initial projection and it's changed a bit with several
friendlies taking place. Overall, the core of the team remains the same with the final spots still
unclear. This projection is of what the team (23 man squad) will be for the World Cup (in 2014) and
not during qualifying.

I said a few weeks (or maybe just a couple weeks) back that the biggest thing that the LA Galaxy
needed to replace this winter was Juninho.
Well, what better way to replace him than with him.
The LA Galaxy announced on Tuesday that the club has reached an agreement with Brazilian club
São Paulo FC that will allow midfielder Juninho to return to the Galaxy on loan for the 2012 MLS
season.
The Los Angeles Galaxy's search for Juninho's replacement has ended with Juninho himself.
The Sao Paulo central midfielder is on his way back to Los Angeles for another loan spell with
the Galaxy. Multiple reports out of Brazil say that Sao Paulo manager Emerson Leao had no plans to
use the 23-year-old Juninho, who signed a new three-year deal with Sao Paulo during the MLS
offseason.
The beginning of the 2012 Major League Soccer season is right around the corner and the folks
over at MLS Soccer have released their first preseason power rankings. As expected the LA Galaxy
are on top, while the New England Revolution get no love, as MLS Soccer ranks them below the
expansion side Montreal Impact.

Edson Buddle is back in a LA Galaxy uniform. The deal to bring back one of the league's all-time
best goal-scorers happened today.
Buddle rejoins the Galaxy after being released from his contract with FC Ingolstadt 04 on
Tuesday. Los Angeles maintained his MLS rights following his free transfer to Ingolstadt last
January.
And I'm not talking about Beckham's 2-year $15 million contract.
I'm talking about Omar Gonzalez. Last month Omar pulled out of the national team training camp
for a very exciting loan move to Nurnberg. His very first day there he suffered a season ending
injury at the hands well, feet of his USMNT teammate Timmy Chandler.

All American eyes Friday are on Goodison Park, where Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey do battle
in Everton and Fulham's FA Cup match, but there's another game in Europe that is of importance to
Americans abroad as well.
Timmy Chandler's FC Nurnberg and Steve Cherundolo's Hannover 96 are slated to go up against one
another in a Bundesliga match that should be featuring the present and future of U.
Article by Pedro GomesAs yet another January camp enters the United States Soccer history books, let us take a quick look
back at what has transpired and what we have learned from the camp.
Rosters:
Typically US roster announcements are desperately anticipated, usually
overly analyzed and this camp was no different.
Big man: An attacking threat as well as a defensive bulwark, Omar Gonzalez will be missed by the
Galaxy as they begin the defense of their MLS crown (AP Photo). It's difficult to underestimate the
influence the quiet, yet commanding presence of Omar Gonzalez had on the Galaxy's taut back
BY ADAM SERRANO
CARSON, Calif. –Fresh off one of the most successful seasons, the Los Angeles Galaxy returned
to the practice field amid a steady downpour at the Home Depot Center.
Missing several pieces like Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane (both on loan), Omar Gonzalez (injury)
and Juninho (joined Sao Paulo) the club returned to the training ground in preparation for their
CONCACAF Champions League matches against Toronto FC in March.
Torrential rain during the first Galaxy practice drove a small knot of reporters into the drier
depths of Home Depot Center this morning. That meant no wifi access, so I was unable to tweet live,
but here's what we learned today: *The big question is who will replace Omar Gonzalez
January is treating TSG like Gio Dos Santos doing the US at the 2011 Gold Cup. Unmercifully.
Ouch.
Parkhurst gets his shot?
Thanks for baring with us.

selection. On to the news...

Ives Galarcep's mock draft at Fox Soccer has this to say: "The Union are believed to be shopping

Martinez, Philadelphia can use some depth up top.

Reports say that Tim Bolton deal is etched.

Omar Gonzalez will return to LA Galaxy after suffering a serious injury in his first training
session while on loan with German side FC Nurnberg.
The 23-year-old defender will have surgery for a left ACL rupture after colliding with right-back
and fellow American Timothy Chandler. He has officially been recalled from his loan spell by the
Galaxy to undergo treatment.

Arsenal has announced that they have signed Thierry Henry for a short term loan through an
unspecified date in February.
I caught up with a buddy yesterday. Good dude. Hadn't seen him in a while. So we hit a local pub
and swapped talk over a couple of pints, abetted by "Jules," a wickedly effective siren at the art
of suggestive selling.
We started a little early. And when you do that, there might just be trouble ahead.
One day into training with FC Nurnberg, Omar Gonzalez has torn his ACL. The injury was sustained in
training after a collision with fellow American Timmy Chandler. Gonzalez will now return to the
Galaxy to undergo treatment. The typical recovery time for an ACL tear is 4-6 months depending on
treatment and the athlete in question.

Reaction to the release of the 2012 schedule:
The Goalkeeper notes that the Union is hosting New York and DC twice. "This strikes me as unfair
from a competitive balance standpoint...As such, it would seem to me to make more sense to have
each team host one team once and one team twice.
In his first practice session with FC Nurnberg, Omar Gonzalez ruptured the ACL in his left knee.
What was first thought to be a minor injury will end up sidelining the USMNT defender for months.
Henry: "I just could not say no to Arsenal"The ongoing saga of finalizing Thierry Henry's
two month loan to Arsenal reached its conclusion today when the Gunners announced that they had an
agreement in place with the New York Red Bulls and MLS. The deal is intended to allow Arsenal to
bridge the four to six week gap when Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh will be away on Africa Cup of
Nations duty.

What was supposed to be a winter during which Omar Gonzalez was going to take the next step in
his career has turned into disaster.
The Los Angeles Galaxy centerback tore his left ACL on his first day on loan with FC Nurnberg,
and he has returned to Los Angeles to undergo surgery, according to Nurnberg's official
website.
The quick gist: Omar Gonzalez has a left ACL rupture, he's been recalled (in every applicable sense
of the word) to L.A. for surgery and will probably miss 4-6 months. Shocking bad luck all the way
around, but FC Nürnberg seemed to fall in love with guy fast. Don't at all be surprised if we see
him "visiting" again before 2012 is over.
People can be so crafty with words and accounts and descriptions, no doubt. But if you listen
veeeeery carefully, you can hear what is really being said.Case in point: the curious case of Omar
Gonzalez. I'll run through this in order up to the inescapable final conclusion, so you can see how
all those puzzle book logic problems as a kid have served me well as an adult listener.
STARTERSLA Galaxy centerback Omar Gonzalez has passed up a chance to impress USA coach Jurgen Klinsman so
he can go on loan for 6 weeks to German club Nurnberg.
-Does this make any sense at all to anyone? Besides that the Bundesliga does not even resume play
until Jan 20!
By CALEB SONNELAND
Omar Gonzalez, fresh off the plane and training with Nürnberg, was given a Bundesliga welcome
by compatriot, and now teammate, Timmy Chandler in a crunching tackle — one that left the former
with an injured knee.
Though the extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed by the club, Gonzalez is seen pictured on
the pitch in pain as a club physio examines his left knee.
UPDATE: In a bizarre set of circumstances, Gonzalez picked up an injury in his first training
session with Nurnberg. In a collision with fellow US National Team player Timmy Chandler, Gonzalez
tore his left anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to miss considerable time. Gonzalez is
reportedly already on his way back to Los Angeles.
After finally receiving a call up to the US Men's National Team, Omar Gonzalez has backed out of
camp in order to go on loan. The LA Galaxy defender is headed to Germany to play for FC Nurnberg
until mid-February. The 2011 MLS Defender of the Year will be joining the team at their training
camp in Belek, Turkey.
