Canada's players were given a very warm welcome as they arrived in Panama for a World Cup qualifier.

It was 4am on Thursday morning, and nothing was stirring, not even a mouse with the CSKA Moscow
players sleeping soundly in their hotel beds, dreaming sweet dreams in lilting, pastel shades about
merrily trouncing AIK in the Europa League play-off the next day.
There were fireworks both on and off the field for the US Women's National Team who defeated
Colombia 3-0 on Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland. Abby Wambach has called for the Olympic Committee to
review and discipline the Colombian player who "sucker-punched" her during the game. And after the
match Hope Solo went pubic on Twitter [.
Looks uncomfortable doesn't he? Staff Writer Phil Collin takes a brief look at what has become one
of Southern California's most enduring July 4 traditions, the annual Galaxy home game and fireworks
spectacular in Carson. Here's the Union perspective.
In which Boca Juniors find a quick and easy way to rack up a £50,000 fireworks bill before so
much as kicking a ball at La Bombanera  - emerging (with their kids in tow) onto the pitch ahead
of the first leg of the Copa Libertadores Final against Corinthians last week to an
ever-so-slightly OTT display as if they'd already won the bloody thing.
In Shalrie Joseph's return to Foxboro Wednesday night, the New England Revolution gave fans far
more to talk about than just their former captain in a different jersey. After jumping out to a 3-0
lead in the first 21 minutes, the Revolution failed to hold on yet again, surrendering three
straight goals and settling for a draw with Chivas USA.
No team has played more games than the Montreal Impact, and perhaps no team in the Eastern
Conference has surpassed expectations more than the expansion club. Head coach Jesse Marsch and
company continued their impressive summer form, as they defeated the New England Revolution at
Gillette Stadium, 1-0, on Sunday night.

Article by Doak Gips If there was any doubt who is the number one
team in the NASL, there is no doubt anymore. Seriously. The Scorpions stamped that and put it away
this past week. With a defense that is making Scorpions 'keeper Daryl Sattler look like Iker
Casillas, and an offense with the the NASL's leading goal-scorer in Pablo Campos, the Scorpions
look like they plan on demolishing everyone the rest of the way through the league.
Luke Lohr is joined by head coach of the Vancouver Whitecaps, Martin Rennie to discuss the team's
progress under his tenure and what he envisions for the future. Rennie also discusses his team's
place in the West and shows respect to several opponents. Major League Soccer's All-Time leading
goalscorer Jeff Cunningham lends his time as well to talk about his move back to the states and
joining the NASL leading San Antonio Scorpions.
Cross country trips are never good for MLS teams. At one point last season coastal teams were
completely winless playing on the opposite coast through some amazing amount of games and I started
referring to it as the Coast To Coast Curse. That eventually ended, but those 3,000 mile trips
remain brutal for teams.

When Nicklas Bendtner showed the world his Paddy Power underwear after scoring against Portugal in
Denmark's 3-2 loss at Euro 2012, he probably had no idea how much controversy his seemingly
innocent actions would stir. But it's not actually Bendtner's action that has caused the newest
uproar, it's UEFA's reaction that has fans bewildered.
Croatia fans have cost their national team's federation €80,000.
UEFA fined Croatia that amount "for the setting-off and throwing of fireworks, and the improper
conduct of supporters (racist chants, racist symbols) at the UEFA EURO 2012 Group C match against
Italy," according to a statement released on Tuesday.
1. Spain delivered the ultimate 'up yours' to us all. After 87 minutes of sniping about their lack
of penetration and subsequent lack of a striker, they literally walked it into the net. 2. The
reigning champions did look precarious at one point. Fortunately, they had Jesus (Navas) to be
their saviour.
While neither of Wednesday's games quite managed to measure up to the fireworks in Warsaw on
Tuesday, what looked to be one of the most interesting days of the group stage heading into the
tournament still delivered its share of intrigue and entertainment, and as a result all four
nations in Group B still have everything to play for come Sunday.
Uefa have hit Russia with a large fine after their fans were found to have caused trouble during
their opening Euro 2012 match against the Czech Republic.
Russian supporters set off fireworks and displayed illicit banners during the Group A clash. Any
repeat of any trouble and Uefa will impose a six-point deduction in qualifying for the next
European Championships.
Following the ridiculous scenes of Rusisan fans attacking stewards before their team's game with
the Czech Republic last Friday, UEFA have decided to come down (relatively) hard on the
Russians.
As well as attacking the stewards, Russian fans threw fireworks and display dodgy banners during
the game, all of which have earned the Footbal Union Of Russia a six-point suspended points
deduction which will run for the entirety of the 2016 Euro Finals qualifying stages.
Shortly before Thursday's Europa League match between PAOK and Rapid Vienna in Greece, the
visiting Rapid fans came out of the stands and launched an attack on the home supporters that made
the Toumbas Stadium resemble a warzone. The Rapid fans launched flares and fireworks into a stand
filled with PAOK supporters like missiles and the PAOK fans who didn't flee the rain of fire
retaliated with by launching flares and fireworks of their own back down at their aggressors.
Brendan Rodgers takes charge of his first home game as Liverpool manager on Thursday night as his
side defends a 1-0 first leg advantage against FC Gomel in a Europa League qualifier.
Last week's first encounter saw Stewart Downing earn the Reds a deserved victory against last
season's Belarusian Super Cup winners, and quite understandably they're 1/5 favourites to win the
second leg too.
East Providence's Kyle Teixeira (#17) breaks into the box against the Clube Recordações

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. Kyle Teixeira scored a season-high five goals to lead East Providence

Quakes in the 7th minute, with David Beckham equalizing in the 31st.
