The title says it all.

Jurgen Klinsmann spoke to some reporters on Wednesday and touched on a few different topics, including Stuart Holden and some ideas on how he is going to build this summer’s Gold Cup roster.

“We save most of [the top-flight European-based players] clearly for the World Cup qualifiers and then give them a well-deserved break. And then we have to build a very competitive roster for the Gold Cup.

“It’s tricky. Who is in a rhythm? The Scandinavians are in a rhythm. The MLS players are. Mexico is in a similar break like Europe, so it makes it difficult. Whoever from Mexico you leave out of the May-June camp, most likely we will leave them out of the Gold Cup as well because they would come from vacation and they can’t catch up. It’s a challenge for us.”

Klinsi also doesn’t want to see Carlos Bocanegra returning to Rangers next season.

Klinsmann also addressed Landon Donovan in the quotes above and Landon agrees that he has some work to do before returning to the USMNT.

Going back to Holden for a second, here is another article from England about him returning to Bolton after his loan to Sheffield Wednesday.

US Soccer put up a video this week with John O’Brien talking about his first cap with the USMNT.

It looks like Brek Shea and Geoff Cameron will be headed to FC Dallas this summer. . . . .in a scrimmage as Stoke City are headed back to the States this summer for some friendlies.

And finally, here is an awesome interactive site that features the historical English football league tables from 1889 to 2012.  Click on a team and it highlights their position for every season.

Billy Schuler got the start and scored a goal for Gregg Berhalter in Hammarby’s 2-1 win over Örebro today.  Here is his goal.

Just an exhibition here, but Billy Schuler had a goal (and several other chances) in this 3-1 victory. Schuler’s goal begins around 0:50.

Billy Schuler got the start and played 65 minutes in Hammarby’s 3-1 victory.  Brian Edwards sat out this game for Degerfors since he picked up a red card in his last game.  Here are the highlights.

Two Americans saw the field (Hammarby’s Billy Schuler and Ängelholms’ Matt Pyzdrowski) with an American coach (Gregg Berhalter) on the sideline in this 1-1 draw.  I also love that Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me” is Ängelholms’ post-goal celebration song.

I am still looking for some full highlights, but here is Billy Schuler’s first career league goal with Hammarby IF.  And it is a beaut.  This game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Billy Schuler went the full 90 minutes in Hammarby’s 2-0 victory over Brage today.  Gregg Berhalter has Hammarby 4-0-0 to start the year and they have conceded only two goals in four games.  Here are the highlights from today.

Billy Schuler scored his fourth goal of the preseason earlier this week and here are video highlights of Hammarby’s 3-2 win over Russian side FC Jenisej Krasnojarsk, including his goal (around 2:26).

My internet has been super wonky this week, so hopefully you are reading this right now.

Some of you might have seen a new name on today’s The OT Report.  Mike Banner, a former Chicago Fire player, recently signed a two-year deal with Jaro in Finland and played in today’s 1-0 victory over JJK in the Finnish League Cup.

As for some more google translate fun, according to this article, Alejandro Bedoya’s former club Orebro SK are claiming that Rangers have still not paid their full transfer fee for Bedoya.

As for the latest on Rangers, administrators are trying to accelerate the sale of the club to a new owner(s) rather than implementing huge cost-cutting measures.  I believe the current players turned down a giant wage reduction yesterday.

Paolo Bandini of the Guardian has some nice things to say about Michael Bradley.

The Danish Superliga started back up last weekend and Greg Seltzer caught up with Clarence Goodson.

Will Packwood did not make his first team debut with Birmingham City on Tuesday, but Brian Sciaretta talked to Packwood this week about his experience at Birmingham City.

It is Monday, but I am actually in a great mood.  But none of you care about that.  Here are a bunch of links from the weekend and stuff that has come out this morning.

As I posted about an hour ago, Tim Ream was able to get his UK permit, which has also been confirmed by Grant Wahl and Ives.  Ream’s transfer to Bolton is being reported at roughly $3 million, which would be the highest transfer ever by a MLS defender.

The Bolton News had a story this weekend where Owen Coyle talks about targeting American talent.  One part I agree about when it comes to Ream is that he might be 24-years-old, but that is the equivalent of being 21-years-old in soccer development for an American.  But Coyle has a lot of nice things to say about Americans, so check that out.

ESPN Soccernet has their Team of the Week up.  It should come as no surprise that Clint Dempsey is among the 11 players, but Zak Whitbread also made the squad.  Whitbread helped Norwich City hold Chelsea to zero goals, Norwich’s first clean sheet of the season.

Steven Goff is hearing that Edson Buddle is being linked to Belgium club Westerlo after his trial at Everton.

Staying with the twitterverse rumors, UK writer Duncan Castles is expecting Eric Lichaj to go out on loan to Leeds United again.

And Brian Sciaretta is reporting that Jason Villagomez may sign with Polish side LKS Lodz tomorrow.

Staying with Sciaretta and his great work over at Yanks Abroad, he is also reporting that former U-20 goalkeeper Samir Badr has signed a deal with Haras El Hodood of the Egyptian Premier League.  And Jamie Hill has an interview up with Hammarby signee Billy Schuler.

The U-23′s are down in Costa Rica for two friendlies and played to a 0-0 draw against Saprissa’s reserve squad this weekend.  Here was the lineup for the match.

USA: 1-Zac MacMath; 4-Kofi Sarkodie (17-Sheanon Williams, 77), 3-Zarek Valentin (capt.) (19-Royal-Dominique Fennell, 77), 2-Sebastien Ibeagha (Andrew Wenger, 46), 5-Jorge Villafana; 6-Amobi Okugo (15-Mix Diskerud, 46), 8-Jared Jeffrey (13-Michael Stephens, 61), 10-Dilly Duka (12-Isaac Acuna, 67); 7-Freddy Adu, 9-Tony Taylor (11-Jack McInerney, 70), 11-Jack McInerney (14-Joe Corona, 46)

They have one more match in Costa Rica before camp ends.  Studio 90 also has two new videos with the U-23s.  The first one is of Jurgen Klinsmann talking to the team before their second scrimmage against the USMNT last week.  And the second one is of the team preparing for their scrimmages down in Costa Rica.

And if you missed it earlier this morning, I did an Inside the Numbers piece on Bill Hamid’s debut for the USMNT.
