Here is a video that U.S. Soccer put together of the Men's national team goals from 2008. While the video quality isn't that great, some of the goals are pretty good. I think my favorite is Jozy's powerful header (and first MNT goal) against Mexico. The tunes are pretty sweet and should get you amped up for the World Cup qualifying games that will take place in 2009. If you want to go back and see 2007's best U.S. goals, check out this post.

Early Transfer Window Action
The European transfer window has only been for 24 hours, but that hasn't stopped several clubs from making early moves. Here is a quick roundup of the some of the first moves of the window.
- Full-back Wayne Bridge moves from Chelsea to Manchester City for an undisclosed transfer fee. Call it intuition, but something tells me this is the first of several moves City will be making in the next few weeks. And this move seems to imply that City is looking to sure up their defense before they make an anticipated (and seemingly inevitable) high profile offensive signing.
- Manchester United signed Serbian wingers Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade for a transfer fee reported to be near 17 million Euros. Ljajic, just 17 years old, will remain on loan in Belgrade, but Tosic, 21, will have the opportunity to train under Ryan Giggs and could be used in the near future. Tosic has been touted as one of the best young wingers in Europe, and will have fellow Serbian Nemanja Vidic to ease his transition into English football.
