Video: "Back to Camp" with the USMNT
This video from U.S. Soccer is entitled "Back to Camp". It seems like a pretty good camp too because it's sunny, there are palm trees and all the free Gatorade you can safely stomach. So much better than camp in the movies where it's all hockey-masked serial killers, mosquitoes, ...

TOR's Favourite Albums of 2008: #3
For the past 6 or 7 years France's M83 have contented themselves (and me) by alternating between sounding like a digitized version of My Bloody Valentine or acid house with guitars. But for their latest album Saturdays = Youth they have basically turned in the soundtrack for a lost John ...

League Lets Landon Loose on Loan, Officially
Finally. I was beginning to wonder if they would ever announce the terms of Landon's loan. Seems short --like Becks'-- to me but at least Galaxy fans might breathe a little easier knowing that they won't be starting from scratch this season. Not that it got them anywhere last season but still ...
