USA- Egypt CANCELED; Stupid Revolution

Call it the right choice all you want, but this really makes me mad.  Not at the fact that we're not going to play in Egypt, which would be suicide for our players, but because this disrupts our carefully laid plans for the 2011 Gold Cup.  It also wastes a crucial game against a solid opponent.  Just pissed off.  That is all.  There will be no replacement and the next US game is now 54 days away against Argentina on March 26, as opposed to 10 days away against Egypt. 

Silly Season, Finalized

Well here they are:

* Jozy Altidore goes to Turkey for the remainder of the season on loan to Turkish champions Bursaspor.  I LOVE this move for Jozy, who looks set to get a plethora of playing time.

* Eddie Johnson goes on loan from Fulham to Championship bottom-feeders Preston North End.  Good move, if he plays, which he likely will.

* Robbie Findley finally finalized his move to Nottingham Forest.

* Freddy Adu sighting!!  He's been sent on loan to Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish second division.  He simply needs playing time.

* Michael Bradley unveiled at Villa Park.

* Still waiting on word about Gale Agbossoumonde, Charlie Davies, and Mike Grella.

Crazy day for Yanks, still waiting on loan news.
