After four years in the dark, he's back. Manchester United's 'mega flop' Kleberson has seen his career resurrected since his move away from Old Trafford and in this year Confederations Cup has looked every part a accomplished Brazilian player.

Wambach Reactions

Sideline Views 17 July @ 05:16 PM EST
It's obvious U.S. Women's Team and their chances for a gold medal suffer without Wambach. The question is, how much?
Here's my take for espn.com on the situation.

Hasta El Gol Siempre 18 June @ 07:13 PM EST
Alfio Basile has named Argentina's starting lineup for the World Cup qualifier against Brazil in Belo Horizonte, and it includes both Juan Román Riquelme and Lionel Messi. Sensibly, Messi will partner Julio Cruz rather than form part of the little-and-little combo which featured against Ecuador on Sunday, as Sergio Agüero drops to the bench. Click to continue reading...
