Notice the figure in the top right corner? The New England Revolution's Pat Noonan didn't participate in the full training the day the pic was taken. Like Chris Albright, who just returned to training after a slight hamstring injury, Noonan probably suffered something similar.
Though most U.S. and MLS fans can name the players on this jog, it's trainer Shad Forsythe (who worked with Jurgen Klinsmann & the Germany team previously) leading the group.

A.C. Have you notice a possible set of starting XI?
Not really. I have to confess that I haven't watched an entire practice at all this week. Normally I might, but with covering Interliga, the Beckham signing, the draft, SuperLiga, the U20's, etc., time has been short.
Do you actualy get to see the players live?
Yes.
Hi, sorry to bother you again. I’m very interested in a journalistic career if my dream of becoming a professional soccer player doesn’t work out.
My question to you is, what sort of college classes should I take?
And how do you become a writer for espn, and other major sports sites?
And if you don’t mind me asking...what is the salary like as a sports writer, or journalist?
I'd appreciate it very much if you could answer my questions. I just dropped out of college because I have no idea what I should study since my only passion is soccer.
Once again I apologize for bothering you. I know you are a busy person.
Any and all aspiring soccer writers - please don't believe for a second that I have this figured out. As a freelancer, it's true there are a lot of different topics I can tackle and various venues will take articles. There's also often no steady work, and therefore, no paycheck. There are no corporate benefits like health insurance.
College isn't necessarily a requirement for the writing itself (no editor I've had has asked for my degree) but work that uses my degree is what has supported me most of my life. It's good to have a fallback. Assignments come and go, even if you're a good writer and work hard.
I also had some good fortune when I started covering soccer. I'm lucky enough to live in Los Angeles, where a lot of stuff in the sport is happening.
Since it isn't about steady work, I can't really give you a salary figure. I've written stuff for as little as ten dollars an article. But I think of it as similar to a player spending time on the developmental salary of MLS - if I'm good enough, I should progress to a living wage at some point. If not, it's been fun, and I'll go do something else with my life.
oh ok, thank you
