Someone on twitter suggested keeping track of all these MLS players who are training in Europe this offseason, so I decided to keep this list, which I will update whenever a new name pops up.  So if you know of anyone I am missing, please leave the player and some kind of link to a news story on them training in Europe in the comments.

Here is who I can think of off the top of my head:

Juan Agudelo – VfB Stuttgart & Liverpool
Kyle Beckerman – Kaiserslautern
Bill Hamid – West Bromwich Albion
Sean Johnson – Everton
Perry Kitchen – SC Freiburg
Jeff Larentowicz – Bolton Wanderers
Zac MacMath – Everton
Amobi Okugo – SC Freiburg
Zach Pfeffer – TSG Hoffenheim
Tim Ream – West Bromwich Albion & Bolton Wanderers
Robbie Rogers – Kaiserslautern
Omar Salgado – Fulham
Brek Shea – Arsenal

You can blame this late night edition of links on me going to a Thrice concert.  If you are into heavier rock/alternative, I highly recommend seeing them.  A very good live band.

The USMNT camp is under way, which means we have some photos and more photos from training.

US Soccer’s website also has a quick interview up with Jermaine Jones. Plus an interview with Maurice Edu.

Slovenia finally announced its roster for Tuesday’s game.

The Shin Guardian decides to play contrarian and defends Michael Orozco Fiscal with some facts and stats.

Moving over to the youth scene.

Brian Sciaretta caught up with Terrence Boyd and Perry Kitchen as they start up the U-23 camp.

Some might remember that U-17 midfielder Marc Pelosi was rumored to have been offered a contract with Liverpool this summer.  Well, he officially signed with the club this week.  He becomes the second American to sign with the club this year as Villyan Bijev signed with Liverpool this summer (and is currently out on loan with Fortuna Dusseldorf).
