The Seattle Sounders Academy shows early promise as two Alumni were selected to the United
States National Team's U-20 Camp in January. Forward Sean Okoli, currently with Wake Forrest, and
rightback Deandre Yedlin, of Akron, will both get to prove themselves to coach Tab Ramos. While the
Sounders have a very tight roster for 2012 it is clear that they hold some cards from within their
own Academy.
One of the enduring traditions around Academy events is the staff game played by the Technical
Advisors and Scouts. Always organized by Manny Schellsheidt, these kickarounds are a nice way for
the staff to get a run after an exhausting schedule throughout the week. It's also a good reminder
for those who get to watch how much talent and experience is being contributed to the scouting
efforts.

The call
Peter Nowak: "Did you guys see the replay [of the free kick goal that was ruled offside] or not
yet? I saw it, the frame. The ball is off Séba's foot already by two or three yards...All
I can say is that we live in a country where you can criticize everybody, including the President
and the federal government.
U.S. Soccer has named Caleb Porter the head coach of the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team,

A bit of news we heard about yesterday over on Twitter. University of Akron head coach Caleb
Porter has been officially named the US U-23 head coach more importantly the Olympics head coach
for the US.
I wrote for SI.com this morning about Jurgen Klinsmann and his biggest challenge ahead:
identifying that final 10 percent, that little "something extra" from a talented young group that
still clearly needs some seasoning.
Anecdotally, we can all see that something is surely missing, that extra sliver of quality that
makes the difference at the highest level.
The MNT on the field at The Home Depot Center
The first extended camp under U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann kicked off Monday evening as 19
players got on the Mooch Myernick Field at The Home Depot Center. With changes to the roster
announced today, a total of 21 players will be available for selection to the 18-man gameday roster
for Friday's match against Costa Rica.
Klinsmann & Vasquez: Back together again
My concern with Klinsmann is exactly the one lots of commentators have already cited he's not
really a tactician, and it was Jogi Löw who did all that heavy lifting with the German National
Team. And Martin Vasquez, who went from being an assistant at MLS's Chivas club to being
Klinsmann's assistant at Bayern (and came back for a short tenure as Chivas's head coach), isn't
really a tactician either but he seems to impress folks since he got the Youth Development Director
position with Real Salt Lake post-Chivas.
Union
Four days remain until the close of the transfer window...
The Union will host its first Supporters Summit on Wednesday, August 17 with Union CEO Nick
Sakiewicz, Peter Nowak, Faryd Mondragón and MLS Commissioner Don Garber answering questions. If,
as Sakiewicz said, "hearing from a wider audience than usual" is the reason for the summit, the
fact that only registered members of the Sons of Be will be allowed to attend is rather mystifying,
particularly if topics for discussion will include "the Union's style of play, the League schedule,
game-day experience, ticketing, stadium expansion, single table alignment and playoff
structure.
Jurgen Klinsmann--Not Bob BradleyDoes Jurgen Klinsmann need to win tonight? You bet your ass he
does. Now that doesn't mean the U.S. has to defeat Mexico tonight in Philadelphia, but it had
better be a good show. He'd better play some young guys, show some hints of a new philosophy and
the defense better not be a sieve.
The U.S. contingent for this game is sporting two of the most famous midfielders in U.S. history in
New Jersey natives Tab Ramos and Claudio Reyna, who each have appearances in three World Cups under
their belts. They are joined by '98 World Cup captain Thomas Dooley. The trio was on the field
together in two of three matches in France '98, and both Dooley and Reyna were in the lineup in the
USA's opening game against Germany when their opponent's insurance goal was scored by a striker by
the name of Jurgen Klinsmann.
I hope everyone is having an excellent Friday despite the gloomy weather. I was under the
impression this was August, but I must be mistaken. Oh well, at least the Sounders lifted the gloom
a little bit with their 2-1 on aggregate over-time victory against San Fransisco. Sure, it wasn't
the prettiest of games, but a win is a win.

call-in.
