Glen Davis in the Deadly Toxin

My alma mater's newsrag (affectionately called "The Deadly Toxin") has a nice but brief article on Houston's own Glen Davis. I'm anxious to check out that soccer program Glen expects to air on TV later this year.

In other news, I know the results of friendlies mean little, but the 0-0 result the US earned with Guatemala (or Gautemala, as ESPN's graphics showed) is a sign that the US needs to develop better creativity in breaking down a bunkered team. No reason to panic of course, but we definitely need to learn the lesson and change our strategy (and maybe personnel) when facing such a defensive ploy. We will face Guatemala in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, so we'll probably face the same strategy again.

And regarding USMNT personnel, how many more chances will Eddie Johnson be awarded? I sure hope his game picks up for the KC Wizards, for his sake as well as for the Wizards'. It would be nice to have him as an asset for the USMNT, but let's start with the club that pays his bills first.
