Arron Neil, who would have been one of the over-agers this weekend, took a knock and has been ruled out for the US match.
A few notable form drops today - Caron & Bradshaw both down to "excellent". Hopefully just temporary dips. Parker slipped a little again after some improvement last week.
Bradshaw, Caron and Parker continue to be 3 players whose form is in flux. Bradshaw up a little this week, Caron down a little, Parker straight across.
Villanueva picked up an 8 game injury Sunday, so he will (likely) still be SI 1-2 on Saturday. It's likely he'll be rested.

A few bad knocks today. Olaf Lavrynenko out for almost 3 weeks - will miss the next 2 qualifying matches (notably Austria). Rising star Vince Lemieux out 2 weeks (tho probably only misses one training). And U21 keeper Mansor Lemaitre also out for a spell.
Strangely, these 3 are in alphabetical order on the roster. Colin Li (next in line) better watch himself. :)

Form was decent this week. Caron and Parker made up some lost ground. Klukowski and Villanueva dropped some.
Amado had a nice pop today. Haven't been getting alot of training updates. Please let me know (by Sokker mail) as your N-teamers or N-teamer hopefulls make progress.

Lots of knocks today. Biron, A Cochran, Klukowksi, and Madden all hurt. Madden's is the most serious.

The rest of the National players survived the week. :) Form update brought good news and bad. Parker and Caron were gainers. Klukowski, Villanueva and Bradshaw stuck in the wrong part of the spectrum. :S
Myles Boissieres, a 19 year old striker under contract with Partizan 74, has been called up for NT duty.
Wang's knock in todays NT match puts him out 3.5 weeks. He'll miss the Austria re-match for certain, probably Bolivia too.
NT Milestones - Austria
Abbas Musa achieved his 70th cap.
Parker got his 70th cap.
Wyn Lavrynenko got his 10th cap.
On a side note, Parker achieved his best mark ever with an 89 - though he allowed 2 goals on 2 "good" shots. Go figure. :)

Luis Giacomi is on the TL.
I put him 3rd on the striker depth chart. However his form has been keeping him much further down then that.
If his form doesn't improve soon he will fade quietly into obscurity. Wyn Lavrynenko and Joey Biron are sure to surpass him in the next season or two.
Edit: just noticed it's been exactly 1 year since I sold him. :)

Giacomi went for more then I expected. That was the price I was thinking had he been in good form.
