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.

As I mentioned in my earlier Hat Trick post, we will have a gamethread on HTIOT going for the
USMNT match tonight. The US will look to carry over the momentum from their win at the death vs.
Venezuela into tonight's match. I am pretty excited to see how the USA will look tonight against an
up-and-coming Panama side.

win over Venezuela on January 21st.
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.
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)

Coverage of the United States 1-0 win over Venezuela. Juergen Klinsmann puts U.S. soccer on fast
track - from The LA Times' Kevin Baxter: "This is a different level," Klinsmann says of the
international game. Jones showing he's worth risk for US Soccer - from FoxSportsArizona.com's Tyler
Lockman: It was the leadership that was unexpected.
Highlights from the January 21st, 2012 friendly between the United States and Venezuela from
University of Phoenix Stadium.
If not for one thrilling 97th minute goal, the USA v. Venezuela friendly would have been
forgettable at best. A team that had looked aimless most of the night was matched against players
with a very defensive mindset, and thus little progress was made on either end of the pitch. Once
the US began finding [.

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.
It seems like it has been quite a while since the USMNT last played. They will shake off the
rust and try to top Venezuela tonight. And let's hope Sean Johnson sees some playing time as well.
Join us for the gamethread tonight to talk all things USMNT.

Jon Levy The national team hasn't even suited up in 2012, but it's already been an encouraging year
for American soccer. Dempsey and Donovan (for two months, at least) are both leading the line of
attack for their respective English Premier League teams, the Women's National Teamers avoided a

By Clemente Lisi – NEW YORK, NY (Jan 20, 2012) US Soccer Players – Following the annual January
training camp, the United States National Team opens its 2012 schedule with a friendly against
Venezuela on Saturday at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ. For US coach Jurgen
Klinsmann, the game will be his first chance to test new players five months before the USA begins
the task of trying to reach for the 2014.

Venezuela. The US is looking to improve on their (2-1-4) record so far under Jurgen Klinsmann and
provide more of an attacking style of play. The team already got a small boost to start of the year
when Fifa [.

selection, just better. We also play a USMNT abroad-themed game of Over/Under with Taylor and give
our reactions to Eric Wynalda's already infamous speech and Robbie Findley's seemingly impossible
miss.

The United States and Venezuela last met on May 26th, 2006 in a friendly that was part of the
send-off series for that summer's World Cup. Playing at Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Brian Ching
and Clint Dempsey scored in a 2-0 USA win with Tim Howard recording the shutout. This was also the
game where Michael Bradley made his debut, coming on as an 89th minute substitute.
