VANCOUVER, BC — It was a dream-come-true for two Vancouver Whitecaps players but a nightmare for
three others. The Major League Soccer-bound Caps rewarded central midfielder Terry Dunfield and
centre back Greg Janicki with MLS contracts Friday but released goalkeeper Simon Thomas and
defenders Willis Forko and Luca Bellisomo.
As confessions go, this one ranks in the all-time pantheon of greats...and those providing too

Discussing the 1990 World Cup on BBC radio, Gary Lineker let the world in on a little secret as
to the state of his back end during the Ireland game, and offers a little insight as to why any

Morning all, the start of another week and the preparations have to begin for two extremely
important games. Firstly there's the Champions League game against Partizan on Wednesday, then a

Liverpool striker target Cleo has opened the door to a potential January move.
The Partizan Belgrade striker has been on the Anfield radar for some time now, with Liverpool boss
Roy Hodgson thought to be keen on the player as a potential foil for Fernando Torres.
Signed by the Serbian SuperLiga outfit in 2009, Cleo has scored more than a goal every other game
for the Crno-beli, form which has led to speculation over a move away from the Stadion FK Partizan.
At this stage, we need more than a hand.
What to say? I honestly don't know.
I found the passion had been sucked out of me during that second half. It was as if I had
suddenly been possessed by the spirit of Salomon Kalou. Or Michael Essien. Or any number of
passengers in blue today.
