-The Philadelphia Union can't get away from snow at training camp in North Carolina, and its rookies are getting baptized into MLS play.
-The Associated Press reports that Sunil Gulati has been unanimously re-elected to a second four-year term as president of the U.S. Soccer Federation. OK now start it off with a good World Cup run!
