Unfortunately, not fun items...I've been told, for now, Ricardo Clark's Danish interest seems to
have dissapated. His salary seems to be an issue at times, with this being one of them. I'm not
sure what's next for him. Just when it appeared ex-Crew free agent midfielder Kevin Burns was set
to be signed by Danish second flight side Blokhuis, there has come a annoying snag we'll talk about

You didn't actually think I'd shut my yap just because some windows closed, did you?I can report
that Ryan Nelsen was considering a return to D.C. United when Tottenham swopped in at the last
minute. I can also tell you he still plans to come back to the Red-and-Black. There should be a
full report up at MLSS before long.

TEAM USA - EL EQUIPO DE TODOS
The team is done with the annual January training camp.
Last night, I was at work and I missed the USA at Panama match on Galavision from Estadio Rommel
Fernandez in Panama City. Too bad, it would have been my first look at lots of young USMNT
prospects making their debut with the senior NT. The starting lineup was Nick Rimando in goal, AJ
De La Garza, Michael Parkhurst, Geoff Cameron, and Zach Loyd in the back, Ricardo Clark and
Jermaine Jones in the

Gabriel Gomez was signed by the Philadelphia Union in late December. Last night was the first
chance Philly fans have had to examine the versatile Panamanian.
In a 1-0 friendly loss to the United States, Gomez played as a calming link between Panama's
back four and skittish front five.
The good news: He was fantastic.
Not to be out-shown by the atrocious work being done in the press box, both the United States
and Panama turned in embarrassingly poor performances in what was, by far, the least attractive
game of soccer in the Klinsmann era. Graham Zusi grabbed the game's only goal in the 9th minute,
lashing home a cross that the US was lucky to see bounce off the back of hapless striker Teal
Bunbury's leg inside the Panamanian area.

It has been a long time coming for the US Men's National Team. A solid three-game winning
streak.
Typically these sorts of things happen around the January friendly time. It certainly isn't the
first time this has happened but with Jurgen Klinsmann in as boss, it is.
Last night the US Soccer's "Camp Cupcake" Team followed up Saturday night's 1-0 win over
Venezuela with a 1-0 win over Panama. I admit that the "Camp Cupcake" moniker is not my favorite
for the annual US Soccer winter camp that primarily gives numerous MLS players and some European
journeymen an extended audition for the US National Team, but I think it's important to use this
moniker in light of the apparent "every match is a live or die match" attitude that seems to
dominate the most vocal of the US Soccer fan base.

Four days after putting together an impeccable performance against Venezuela, the United States
had to overcome a sloppy and disheveled showing to escape Estadio Rommel Fernandez with a 1-0 win
over Panama Wednesday night.
Graham Zusi's ninth minute goal survived more than 85 minutes of as Panama squandered countless
chances to equalize against a maligned back line during the international friendly.
The United States is running out of chances to find some solid form before World Cup qualifying
starts in summer. Tonight, they take on a Panamanian team they really should beat and they will be
returning to the 4-4-2 that Jurgen Klinsmann has seemed so intent on doing away with. Chris
Wondolowski will start alongside Teal Bunbury at forward.
The U.S. men's national team plays its second game in a week, and second of 2011 in Panama City
tonight against CONCACAF foe Panama (8:30pm, Galavision/ESPN3.com).
The United States is coming off a 1-0 victory against Venezuela, but tonight should offer a much
tougher test as the Americans face the Panama side that beat the Americans in the Gold Cup group
stages before losing a 1-0 decision in the Gold Cup semifinals.

The U.S. Men's National Team last faced Canada in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but it's been more
than 13 years since the teams met on Canadian soil. With the U.S. and Canada set to face each other

With the first friendly of 2012 producing a thrilling, though somewhat disappointing 1-0 victory
against Venezuela on Saturday, the U.S. men's national team is now in Panama preparing for the
first tough road match for this young group.
Jurgen Klinsmann scheduled this Panama match with the expressed purpose of testing inexperienced
players in a hostile environment, and the opponent is one who should provide a tougher test than
the one provided by Venezuela.
It's been less than 24 hours since the team arrived in Panama City, and already there's been a lot
of activity.
The journey started at 6:45 a.m. MT in Phoenix and ended at 8 p.m. ET in Panama City. In between

A report from The Bolton News on Friday quotes Wanderers' manager Owen Coyle on Sebastien Le
Toux, "I've had some decent reports on him. He's very industrious, hard working and looks a very
good team player, which is what I'm all about.
U.S. Men's National Team head coach JURGEN KLINSMANN:
On Jermaine Jones and what went in to decision to make captain:
"It was certainly a difficult situation for Jermaine with the suspension in Germany. I spoke with
his coach and the club and we agreed it was beneficial to all of us to have him come in.
The United States beat Venezuela in Glendale Arizona courtesy of a stoppage time header from
Ricardo Clark.
Last night in Arizona, the US national team topped Venezuela in the first of two friendlies for the
camp cupcake roster, 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Ricardo Clark. Sporting KC forward Teal Bunbury
and midfielder Graham Zusi both started for the US, while forward, CJ Sapong came on as a second
half sub, replacing Zusi.
Ricardo Clark certainly makes his goals count. Two of his three career international goals have
been game-winners, and both in dramatic fashion. In addition to last night's header in the seventh
minute of added time, Rico drove home the lone goal in the 1-0 against Trinidad & Tobago on Sept.

Ricardo Clark headed home Jermaine Jones' corner in the 7th minute of stopping time to help the
United States to a 1-0 victory over 10-man Venezuela before 22,403 at University of Phoenix
Stadium.
The American's win was its third in eight matches since Jurgen Klinsmann took over from Bob
Bradley as coach last year.
Last night I watched an interesting and rather entertaining friendly match between the USA and
Venezuela. As this is not season for FIFA encounters, both teams largely played with their reserve
side, but it was interesting nevertheless, as both nations are in a very good process of preparing
for their World Cup qualifiers under two very good coaches, Cesar Farias from Venezuela and (the
German)
Jurgen Klinsman, Jermaine Jones and Ricardo Clark. The first a German, and famous at that. The
second a mix of American and German, currently playing his club ball with Schalke 04 in der
fatherland. The third born in America, a defensive midfielder in the 2nd Bundesliga for Eintracht
Frankfurt. Could it be some hidden understanding from this shared German-ness that pushed Klinsman
to pick Clark off the bench, and for Jones to find the late substitute with a perfectly dipped
cross?

It wasn't that long ago that Providence product Michael Parkhurst and Attleboro native Geoff
Cameron were just two local talents hoping to play their way from the grassy fields of
southeastern New England onto the big stage.
Cue the big stage.
On Saturday, the defending duo both of whom played club soccer for Rhode Island-based Bayside FC
found themselves paired together in the center of the United States defense for the first time
during the squad's 1-0 shutout of Venezuela.
For over 95 minutes, the United States looked headed for another game without a goal under head
coach Jurgen Klinsmann but Ricardo Clark emerged as an unlikely hero and delivered the winner.
For 90 minutes the U.S. Men's National Team dominated play against Venezuela on Saturday night
at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz, but couldn't find the goal they needed to take
the lead. Substitute Ricardo Clark finally had the answer with a stoppage time header to give the
U.S. a deserved 1-0 victory.

Just when it looked like the U.S. men's national team was destined for another scoreless game, a
familiar face came up with the timeliest of goals.
Substitute Ricardo Clark powered home a header deep into stoppage time on Saturday night,
giving the United States a 1-0 victory over Venezuela at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale,
Arizona in its opening match of 2012.
The United States opened its 2012 schedule with a 1-0 friendly draw against Venezuela at University
of Phoenix Stadium. The USA got a last gasp goal, with Ricardo Clark scoring from a corner kick
late into stoppage time. Both teams were using experimental lineups, with the game falling outside
of the international window.
The U.S. men's national team will play its first match of 2012, and an MLS-heavy squad will take
the field against Venezuela on Saturday night in Arizona with many players looking to impress
Jurgen Klinsmann and work their way into the full senior team mix.
Some familiar faces are back in the mix as Benny Feilhaber and Ricardo Clark are in camp, while
Heath Pearce joins them as the only players on the camp roster with more than 30 caps.
