Im pleased with the cuts. It's going to be very interesting to see what formation klinsi goes with considering the lack of wide options.

I know shea hasn't been in the best of form but it would be nice to see another winger on this roster rather than one of the 6 center mids

Some pics from training today.

A few things I noticed:

- Dempsey, Parkhurst and Goodson worked apart from the squad
- Rimando appears to be the #2 GK
- Terrence Boyd and Geoff Cameron are BIG in person. Bradley is surprisingly large as well
- Edgar Castillo is tiny. I'm 5-7 (and 3/8th), and he's maybe eye to eye with me. Torres is smaller than I am
- Klinsmann is VERY engaged in the practice sessions
- All of the players signed autographs for the USSSC members in attendance

Warm-up lap


Short sided game


Klinsmann working the team


Cherundolo working set pieces with the center backs


Gooch, up close and personal (he was cool as shite, btw)


I got some other stuff signed, put this the piece de resistance...

That's awesome bro anyone else hear Dempsey on The Dan Patrick show today? He said "you know"about a thousand times, besides that just mentioned his ambitions of CL next season if possible.

Behind the Crest is awesome. I love how candid Jurgen is, but then reassuring at the same time. It did come across as a bit reality show-ish, though

Also, Jermaine was beasting it at the beginning of the video.

I was kinda surprised that they sat everyone down and cut players in front of everyone. "Oh, and give these guys hugs before they go". They fambly.

In the NFL, they take people one on one and in an office to tell them they've ben cut.

Did you guys know that when Landon Donovan was at the IMG Academy in Bradenton. He almost had his feet bit off by an alligator ?

W.T.F. Somewhere in an alternate universe. Donovan has no feet, and he isn't the face of US soccer.

No, I haven't.


Next time you're in Botheng, Stuttgart, Germany. You should stop by Jurgen Klinsmann's family bakery

Where do you find this info? The thing about Donovan I read in Chasing the Game.

Also, your new sig is much better than hipster Yoda.

Haha, the bakery thing and Landon Donovan legs thing = wikipedia. To be honest.


Wikipedia used to have all of Donovan's international goals listed but they are all gone. The template is still there thought.

Then I was wondering how Donovan's achievement's rivaled Klinsmann's. So I looked up Klinsmann's profile too. While I was at it.

JK = 47 goals in 108 apps for Germany

Donovan = 49 goals in over 138 apps.

ETA: Thanks for the sig props ! I Just made it.

Apparently, the numbering on the back of the home kits = illegal by FIFA rules because you can barely see them.
