As in summer, there will soon be a transfer deadline ticker over at MLSS, which I'll be stocking
with as much scene-setting and deal-clinching as we can find.Since that won't begin for an hour or
so, let's kick off the day with a couple bits. First off, it now seems Charlie Davies will be
remaining at Sochaux.
The 2012 NHL Draft is still a ways away. It will take place at Consol Energy Center in the city
of Pittsburgh starting on July 22nd. However, it's never too early to take a look at the best
prospect available for the draft.
While there are a number of international players at the top of the list, there is also quite a
bit of domestic talent.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has confirmed that Brazil will take on Sweden in Stockholm
on 15thAugust 2012. The game will be the final fixture in the Råsunda stadium – the venue
where Brazil won their first World Cup after beating the hosts in 1958. After the fixture with
Brazil, the stadium will be torn down and a new arena put up.

Stetson University alumni Nate Weiss has signed with German side FSV Erlangen-Bruck this month,
after leaving Sweden's Raslatts SK.
Germany's DFB Women's Indoor Cup took place over the weekend and as to be expected, FFC
Frankfurt's enthusiastic squad picked up the trophy from the hands of the sad Bayern
Munich girls. Next time, chicas!
But there's a reason behind all of this, of course.

On Wednesday, the Independence finally made official what has been rumored for weeks, that
former Atlanta Beat midfielder/striker Lori Chalupny has signed with the team. Chalupny is a former
USWNT player who has been capped over 90 times for the senior squad.
The process that brought him in was a little unexpected, but the end result really wasn't. Today,
Sporting KC acquired the rights to former San Jose Earthquakes draft pick, Michael Thomas for a 4th
round Supplemental draft pick, the 73rd overall. The fact that Sporting had to give something to
San Jose for Thomas is the surprising part.
Hours before the start of today's Major League Soccer supplemental draft, Sporting Kansas City
announced that they've traded their Fourth Round pick (73rd overall) to San Jose for the rights to
midfielder Michael Thomas. San Jose originally drafted Thomas in 2010, but he opted to sign with
Sweden's Halmstads.

We all know that Brazilians are proud to have won the World Cup five times.
No one kicks the football like the one, Zlatan, Zlatan!
No explanation necessary. Even though it's six years old, this (ahem... "Who's Da Man?" by
"Elias featuring Frans") remains the undisputed best Swedish reggae tune about Zlatan
Ee-bra-heem-oh-vic to have ever been recorded.
A few weeks ago, comments were made publicly about Michael Thomas coming to Kansas City. As
mentioned previously, the Notre Dame grad has played with multiple members of Sporting KC,
including Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic. Word out of Sweden is that Thomas will definitely not be
returning to club, Ljungskile SK.
Portland Timbers 2012 Preseason Training Schedule (subject to change):
- Jan. 20 – Players report to Portland
- Jan. 21 – Player entrance physicals
- Jan. 23 – Training begins in Portland
- Feb. 5-16 – Preseason camp at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
Quick name the top ten players who shouldn't become coaches when all is said and done.
Did Zlatan fall on anyone's list? Or maybe...did Zlatan fall on everyone's list? To say he has a
prickly personality would be to call the old Ronaldo, now new Ronaldo, a bit chunky.
And yet.
A bit earlier, I was sent a birdie email suggesting Hammarby were the ones about to sign former
North Carolina forward Billy Schuler. Then minutes ago, suddenly, everybody and their mother over
in Sweden started reporting this.Gregg Berhalter 1, MLS 0? Nothing from the club yet.- Greg Seltzer

Johor in the second tier Malaysia Premier League have reportedly signed English striker Richard
Offiong. If true then the 28 year old striker is no stranger to playing overseas. Previously he has
plied his trade in Scotland, Turkey, South Korea, Belgium, Australia and Sweden.

The New York Red Bulls have had an awfully quiet offseason, which has been used more to deflect
rumors and links to star players as opposed to making improvements to a team that vastly
underachieved by its own expectations in 2011.

This actually happened before Christmas but I haven't gotten a chance to mention it. Baggio
Husidic, who's rights the Rapids acquired in the Re-Entry Draft, has decided to decline Colorado's
contract offer and instead sign with Hammarby IF in Sweden. Former U.S. Nats player Gregg Berhalter
was recently named manager of the AEG-owned club and this will probably be the first of multiple
signings from MLS for the team.
With the 2012 MLS Draft just two weeks away, the 2012 MLS Generation adidas class took a step
closer to being completed after the signing of the highest-rated unsigned underclassman.
UCLA playmaker Kelyn Rowe has signed a Generation adidas deal, sources told SBI on Wednesday.
Rowe is the fifth player to sign a Generation adidas deal, joining Andrew Wenger, Darren Mattocks,
UCLA teammate Chandler Hoffman and Sam Garza.
When the Seattle Sounders lost James Riley in the expansion draft there was some real concern
about how Seattle would fill the void let by the dependable veteran's departure.
The Sounders have reached an agreement with Swedish right back Adam Johansson, according to the
club website of Johannson's current club, IFK Goteborg.
It appears the Seattle Sounders have made their first move toward filling their hole at right
back, signing Swedish defender Adam Johansson, according to this article in the Gothenburg Post.
Erik Friberg first alluded to the signing with a tweet in which he said: "Congratulations Sounders
for your new Sweeede.

It's been a quite few weeks when it comes to player rumors, really since Omar Bravo left for Cruz
Azul there have been few rumors regarding Sporting KC. As James said in his post regarding this
rumor, it's been campfire talk for a short little while, and it does seem to make sense. Michael
Thomas is currently playing with Ljungskile SK in Sweden.
However, I need to jump in here real quick. A Swedish report or two from last night ran that U. of
Virginia forward Brian Span was signing with Örebro. It makes sense as he trialed there this
summer and the club liked him.However, I have great reason to believe he is actually joining
Djurgårdens IF.
The next stage of Gregg Berhalter's career will come as coach of Hammarby, and the former defender
is confident despite the pressures that come with leading one of Sweden's top teams.
With all due respect to Abed Nadir, at Hammarby, it's now Gregg Berhalter.- Greg Seltzer

Why England face some tricky games in Euro 2012 but I'm backing them to
qualify
After another draw that was like watching paint dry, England came out last of all but,
thankfully, avoided the traditional Group of Death. On paper, Fabio Capello must be happy with the
opposition, but we said the same in South Africa for the World Cup last year.
The 2012 EURO's are slowly approaching, and just yesterday the groups for the initial stages of the
tournament were drawn. Below are the resulting groups of the draw:
Group APoland, Greece, Russia, Czech Republic
Group BNetherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal
Group CSpain, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Croatia
Group DUkraine, Sweden, France, England
As for just about every international tournament, a group of death naturally formed.
1. It could definitely have been worse for England. Far, far worse. Yet the caution about our
prospects against the likes of the Ukraine and Sweden is reassuring. 2. England v France at the
European Championships just won't be the same without a vomiting Zinedine Zidane. 3. Spain, Italy
and the Republic of Ireland make [.

The draw for Euro 2012 has been made and the fixture list has also been drawn out marking England's
plot to the final in Kiev come 1, July. Interestingly enough, should Fabio Capello's men emerge
from Group D unscathed, they will face-off against what is likely to be Spain or Italy in the
quarter-finals.
