Tidbits From Thursday and Friday

Kyle Beckerman and Robbie Findley were called into the 24 man USA Camp for the Sept Qualifiers. Findley was a nice surprise but I am really rooting for Beckerman to make South Africa. I'm sorry haters but he's flat out better than Ricardo Clark. Nuff said.

With Brad Guzan in goal Aston Villa crashed out of the Europa. Guzan did well to stop the first shot. Unfortunately the rebound went into the center and his defenders were lax. Away goal exit stage right!

Everton and Fulham went through to the Group Stages. Timmy played for Everton but EJ and Dempsey were not involved though EJ was on bench.

Everton is in a group with Benfica and Fulham drew Roma. Both groups are semi-hard I guess. Did any other Americans make it into the Europa with their respective teams?

Dempsey picked up an ankle whack in a Wednesday training session. He is scheduled to play Sunday. It still worries me ahead of El Salvador at Rio Tinto.
