I should be sleeping, but here are some links

We have been mainly talking the USMNT around here lately, but here are some more club-oriented links (with some USMNT/U-20s stuff at the end).

Chievo Verona’s sporting director Luigi Sartori has told the media that they fully expect Michael Bradley to be on another team next season.  He claims that the club is hearing from top teams in Italy (Inter? Roma? Palermo?) as well as teams from Germany and England.

DaMarcus Beasley is staying at Puebla despite some interest from some other teams.

American midfielder Russell Canouse has signed a professional deal with TSG Hoffenheim this week.  The soon-to-be 17-year-old was Hoffenheim’s youth academy player of the year this past season and will join their U-19 team next season.

Staying in Germany, Parker Walsh, who played with Karlsruher SC II in the Regionallia this year, is a soon-to-be free agent and Greg Seltzer tells us that he has some suitors.

As for some U-20s news.

Luis Gil picked up an injury in camp last week, so Omar Salgado has been called in.  Before the team headed to South America this week, they played Houston Dynamo’s academy team in a scrimmage over the weekend with the U-20s winning 2-0.  Both goals were scored by Liverpool’s Villyan Bijev.

And for some USMNT stuff.

Here are some field level highlights of the Canada 0-0 draw.  And here are a few photos from the game.

Travis Clark talked to Terrence Boyd recently about his stint so far with the USMNT.

I will honestly admit that I know nothing about Antigua & Barbuda (we are playing two countries, right?), but luckily the guys over at The Shin Guardian know some stuff on the twin-island nation.

A few random things for Monday
   April 2, 2012 (4:08 PM) by Matt
 

First off, congrats to Bryan Gerzicich and Kiryat Shmona for winning the Israeli Premier League title today with a 0-0 draw to Hapoel Tel Aviv.  With the win, they earned a spot in next year’s Champions League qualifiers.   This was also Kiryat Shmona’s first time winning the Israeli Premier League, and as the SI.com article mentions, only the second time in more than two decades that someone outside Israel’s “Big Four” (Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem) won the title.

Conor O’Brien and SønderjyskE also played today in some Danish Superliga action.  O’Brien got the start and played 86 minutes in a 3-1 victory over AGF Aarhus.

Tab Ramos has called in 24 players for April’s U-20 camp, which will be held in Portland.  The bigger names include Luis Gil, Will Packwood and Juan Pablo Ocegueda.

One U-20 player not called into the camp, likely since he is just returning from injury, is goalkeeper Cody Cropper.  Cropper played in only his second game back from injury this past weekend with Ipswich Town’s U-18 team.

The US U-17 team is also playing this month in the 40th Mondial Minimes Tournament in France.  You can check out the roster for that here.

Finally, Jordan Seabrook was bouncing around Finland on various trials over the last couple months, but it looks like he has found a home with Enköpings SK in Sweden’s third tier.

Late night linking

I already posted two USMNT tidbits earlier today, but here are a few more things.

Soccer America has a two-part Q & A with Jurgen Klinsmann:  Part 1 | Part 2

Speaking of Klinsi, Jon Levy over at The Yanks are Coming has a funny flow chart on how Jurgen makes his USMNT roster selections.

Moving on to the U-23 team, Brian “I know the family tree of any player in Germany” Sciaretta introduces us to defender Royal-Dominique Fennell.  He was probably one of the few guys on the U-23 camp roster that people know the least about.

Two more players from teams bounced from the MLS playoffs were added to that U-23 camp.  The lucky winners (or losers from the MLS playoffs):  Teal Bunbury and Luis Gil.

And finally, here is a local TV story on Josh Gatt.  That first highlight of him in high school, he just makes the opposing team look silly.
