Hejduk resumes training U.S. midfielder Frankie Hejduk trained Saturday for the first time with the team since straining his hamstring May 6. Hejduk performed well without pain in an 8-v-8 scrimmage. The Tampa Bay Mutiny star is expected to play 30-40 minutes the closed-door scrimmage with French Second Division club Gueugnon Tuesday June 9. Life in chateau Shooting darts, playing cards, watching video movies, surfing the Internet and resting were the most popular activities during the U.S. team’s first full day at the Chateau de Pizay. Multipositional Burns Thomas Dooley and Mike Burns met with about 20 international journalists today at the team hotel. Burns talked about how his ability to play number of different positions has benefitted him with this team. “Throughout my career I have always been comfortable playing different positions,” said Burns. “I think it should help me in the long run. I want to be one of those starting 11 June 15 even if Steve [Sampson] wants to put me in goal.” Dooley talked about what has enabled him to endur over the years playing at such a high level. “I think today’s medicine and knowledge of how to keep the body healthy has helped players like me,” he said. “That is why you see more players my age still playing. I also am very aware and sensitive to what my body needs to stay healthy.” Soccer tennis After each training session Sampson has organized a soccer tennis tournament within the team. Each team will play each other up to 11, a total of 10 games per team. Soccer tennis (played similarly to badmitten) helps players with their touch on the ball. Following are the pairings: Agoos/Balboa; Jones/Stewart; Maisonneuve/Ramos; Moore/Reyna; Keller/Deering; McBride/Dooley; Lalas/Wynalda; Sommer/Burns; Hejduk/Wegerle; Pope/Preki; Friedel/Regis.
