Can Charlie Davies find his form again and regain his position as one of USA's most dangerous forwards? If so playing for DC United could be a perfect fit!
DeMerit's story is well documented, left for Europe with little money and ends up going from non-league to the premiere league, US National Team, and World Cup. Now he has been out of action since June and is relishing some game time.
Why would you apologize to someone who on your last game as a pro in the world cup final made you look like a fool!

When it comes to developing talent Germany can teach the world a thing or two, The most significant change was a mandate that every first and second division German club have a professional standard youth academy. The provisions required that each 1. Bundesliga club’s youth team have three fields (two for 2. Bundesliga sides), three coaches (two for second tier clubs), a goalkeeper trainer, and other basics such as physiotherapists, a doctor, and a medical ward.
Republic of Ireland 3 – Wales 0 (Carling Nations Cup, February 8, 2011)
International coaching is a busy business, you travel, you scout, you choose players, and you try to encourage other players to give your team a chance, luckily the USA has Thomas Rongen as their U20 coach.
Barcelona had the top 3 players in the World this year, the team is known for it's sublime passing attack. Over the weekend they won 3-0 on a hattrick by Messi, his second goal was a team effort of 21 passes before he tucked it away.
A corner is given, the ball is crossed, a bit of a scramble ensues, the ball is headed goal wards, but a diving goal line save keeps the ball out of the net!
Inter Milan 5 – Roma 3 (Serie A, February 6, 2011)
He didn't get his way because they actually wanted him to play a full season of soccer and honor the contract he signed, imagine that! With one foot out the door Beckham has shown he never really took MLS Seriously, although the money was good!
Ghana 4 – Togo 1 (International friendly, February 8, 2011)
Chechnya is the muslim region of Russia, it is also a region that has been at war for the last 15 years. Ruud Guillit is once a World Player of the year, coach of Chelsea and the LA Galaxy and now will coach Terek Grozny in the capital of Chechnya!
Cyprus 0 – Sweden 2 (International friendly, February 8, 2011)
How does an American Kid get El Salvador kicked out of the CONCACAF U-20 Championships? He is actually a very good player and scored some goals!
Lecce 2 – Palermo 4 (Serie A, February 6, 2011)

Free Kick of the Week or Blooper of the Week?
Once a player gets famous they are sought out for promotional adventures, you can see them selling all sorts of stuff and in foreign countries the commercials can be pretty funny!
FC Groningen 7 – Willem II 1 (Eredivisie, February 6, 2011)
World football could soon come to a grinding halt as Real Madrid and Barcelona play four El Clasicos in a brutal 15-day period. Already the two superpowers of Spanish football will face-off twice in four days in April in both La Liga and the final of the Copa del Rey, and if fate draws the two together in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, then the quadruple overload will turn into a reality.
Boavista SC 2 – Flamengo 3 (Carioca, February 6, 2011)(Ronaldihno scores first goal)
An up and coming American is sent out on loan to get some games, lets hope he finds some good form and comes back strong. Another American could see his year long struggle for game time come to an end.
The Ref shakes the captains hands, coin is tossed, sides are chosen, and 10 seconds into the game we have a World Record "Fastest Red Card Ever"
