Charlie Davies left off US World Cup training roster

In a surprising decision, US soccer star Charlie Davies will not get the chance to represent USA at World Cup 2010. The star forward's name was left off the training camp roster. Davies was attempting to come back to the national team seven months after a nearly fatal car crash left him with broken bones, a ruptured bladder, and bleeding in the brain. Though his rehabilitation was going well, he was not given a full medical release to attend the training camp.

30 players gather next week in Princeton, New Jersey for training camp. Coach Bradley will select the top 23 for the final World Cup 2010 roster. The Americans open their World Cup campaign against England on June 12.

Shakira Shakes Up World Cup 2010

Two of my favorite things converged today when I found that pop music diva Shakira has recorded the theme song for soccer's 2010 World Cup tournament, being held this June throughout South Africa. Shakira has been shaking her hips for nearly a decade and has sold over 30 million records in that timespan.

Take a listen below to "Waka Waka," chosen by FIFA as the official song of the World Cup.



I am so psyched for this year's World Cup. Maybe this year will be USA's time to shine. We will see. Now, all I need is for Bluegreen to get a resort in South Africa, and I'll be set!
