There's a blog running on USSoccer.com (http://www.ussoccer.com/articles/viewArticle.jsp_281796.html) with a few details. Nothing very substantial, though.

This website http://sidelineviews.blogspot.com/index.html had alot of pictures and reports from the last camp at the home depot center.
But the writers are based in LA so i doubt they will take a trip down to Florida.
But i plan on checking back every so often for some news.

Isn't Sidefootsitter based in Florida? Perhaps he can give a firsthand account. I can't imagine he'd bypass this opportunity to meet Landon face-to-face and instruct him on the finer points of the game.

His BS account has been closed, unfortunately. I know SFS seemed insufferable at times, but he often provided an interesting counterpoint to exaggerated BS fandom of one sort or another.
Speaking of first-hand accounts, though, does anyone have a Gatorade update? How much are the guys drinking, and which flavors? Who can break it down for us?

maybe show him how to use orange cones. Since Landon did not play long in Europe he may not know how to dribble around them. I hear they do that in Europe. It is probably why they are good.

Maybe Sidefootshooter was right--- earlier in the day, this quote-
"You wonder what a guy like Frank Simek is thinking when he hears 'Hi, I'm Kasey.' Not that he should be in awe or anything, but Kasey was taking part in his first of four World Cup tournaments in 1990, when Simek was five-years-old."
read "Hi, I'm Landon." Who has taken part in the past two World Cups. Even the media guys for US Soccer have lost all respect for Landon. We're doomed!

There's a US Soccer Fan Survey on there. I took it earlier. Let them know how you feel. They're asking for suggestions.

Can anyone get the new training pictures to load up? It says they have pictures from 3/19 and 3/20 training - but I can only get 3/19 to show up.

Yep, its a golf course. Looks like a wayward shot might have to be played with a sand wedge.

Something tells me this is going to be a break out camp for Benny. I think Donovan is going to start feeling the heat too, which will also cause him to up his game as well. He needs the competition from the Euros to really get him to step up.
Also, anyone notice this tidbit from the MNT Blog?
"Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan and Kasey Keller are talking EPL shop..."
Hmm, maybe Landon's thinking about a transfer in the near future? Just throwing it out there.
