D.C. United defender Dejan Jakovic has been called up to the Canada
National Team training camp from January 18 to February 1. The team
will be training in Florida before flying out to Jamaica to face their
National Team on Jan. 31.
---- Notes ----
Potomac Soccer Wire has learned that the NSCAA
board has voted to hold their annual convention in Baltimore, Md. in
2016 and 2020. Baltimore is already the host for next year's
convention, the largest soccer convention in the United States, put on
by the largest coaching organization of any sport anywhere in the world.
Demosphere International, Inc. has teamed up with RainedOut to offer
free mass text messaging functionality to Demosphere customers.

Rumor of the Year? Henry to New York: The rumor mill is running here in Philadelphia at the 2010 MLS Draft, but this is the biggest one of all. The long rumored idea of Thierry Henry coming to MLS
to play for the Red Bulls may be on again. The French International and
Barcelona star has said before he wanted to play in America and live in
New York, and the source I have for this is directly connected to a
person who would certainly know. Take it as it is - just a rumor, but
one that has a lot of dots connected that make sense. Personally, I
hope it's true. The Red Bulls fans need something to look forward to on
the field besides natural grass and JPA.
Behind The Scenes Tryout Video: Check out this behind-the-scenes video of an open tryout for the MLS expansion Philadelphia Union, courtesy of Philadelphia Daily News sports writer Kerith Gabriel.
Altidore Headed Back to Haiti: Jozy Altidore placed call after call
to Haiti, desperate to locate his relatives. Two days after the 7.0
magnitude earthquake, the U.S. national team striker has been unable to
get through and is preparing to travel to the devastated country to
look for himself. Altidore has asked for everyone to help survivors in
whatever way they can.
