ASN contributor Brian Sciaretta has a nice feature on Geoff Cameron in The New York Times. The former Houston Dynamo dynamo even opens up a little bit about playing multiple positions: "I’m feeling more comfortable because it’s better football; it’s not just kick and run.

Jeff Carlisle goes long on the return of Will Packwood: For the past 13 months, Packwood has been recovering from a horrific broken leg that involved multiple fractures and eventually required three surgeries to repair. A grueling rehab program allowed him to return to the field in reserve matches in August, which was followed by a successful loan stint with Bristol Rovers."

"I’m honored to be granted the opportunity to serve our membership as President of the U.S. Soccer Federation," Gulati, who has been president since 2006, said. "Over the years, soccer has made numerous strides in the U.S. and we are excited by the sport’s boundless potential for growth in the future. I’m looking forward to being part of soccer’s bright future on all levels throughout the country."
