D.C. United defender Greg Janicki is asking for help in raising money for Prostate Cancer
Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. He writes:
"A lot of you know I grew a ridiculously stupid mustache this year
that was just for fun. Now I figured I might as well grow it back for a good cause throughout the
month of November.

Fellow soccer bloggers Caught Offside yesterday offered up seven reasons why football (soccer) will
never be a major success in the U.S. It got lost in all of the hullabaloo over Charlie Davies'
accident but I wanted to take the time to address it now.
First things first: Caught Offside are wrong on all but one count, namely that the sport is not
stat-intensive enough to become a major deal in the U.

The general mindset of most local clubs officials and players is to keep "things within four walls"
and it's not very often we see war-of-words trading across feuding parties to ensure the mood of
solidarity in the local football fraternity (because of the "Code of Conduct" I guess).
Personally, nothing wrong with that as nobody would want to see a WWE-styled reality show since the
main product is the game itself.

Has the transfer window opened again? I awoke to see the headlines about Arsenal being linked
to three players. Bolton's Gary Cahill just as a back up centre half, he could be just the answer
especially with Johan out until February with a knee injury, Song our other back up centre half
going to the Africa Cup of Nations.

David Beckham's ego is off the charts. He is not bashful in the least bit, as noted from his
underwear ads and from his attitude towards his career.Â
He has expressed himself with the press on a range of topics. Most recently, he appeared with
ESPN and answered questions regarding his notorious outburst towards fans from the stands.

The military junta controls Myanmar with an iron hand which includes media and internet
censorship which is why David Beckham remains that country's top sporting preoccupation. He may

American Lance Armstrong seems to be channeling Paolo Maldini these days by hanging tough with
athletes who were born at least a decade after him. Today on the Tour de France's gruelling 20th
stage ride up Mont Ventoux, Armstrong beat back several attacks to cement his third place standing
for the ride into Paris tomorrow.

"Nem bem terminou a 17ÂȘ etapa da Volta da França e veio a pĂșblico mais uma demonstração que o
clima na equipe Astana continua longe de ser harmÎnico. Através do Twitter, a rede social da

I'm currently sitting in my summer apartment in a secret Mediterranean coastal city. It is 35
degrees celsius outside, and I've decided to take a day off from the beach and watch Tour de France
highlights on my summer channel of Eurosport. For the uninitiated, with six stages remaining,
Alberto Contador of Spain is in the lead (Spain appear to be the champions of sport at the moment),
followed by Lance Armstrong in second and Bradley Wiggins of the UK in third.

Whatever level of sport you play at stepping down at the peak of your career to play at a lower
level is practically unheard of. These guys are born winners and focus on winning and everything
that goes with it.
Craig Johnston stopped completely at 28, but can you imagine Ronaldo stepping down to division 2
anytime soon, Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, or Roger Federer at their peak stepping down to local
tournaments only.

John Hartson, the former Arsenal striker who this week was diagnosed with testicular cancer with
metastasis to the brain and now lungs, underwent emergency neurosurgery to relieve pressure on his
brain. The Swansea hospital he was operated in released this statement:
"He is currently being cared for by the critical care team at Morriston and is receiving
round-the-clock care aiming to stabilise his condition.

That retirement comes at such a young age is one of the curious contradictions of football. No
sooner has a professional player reached his prime than he is sliding down the other side of his
career arc. The overwhelming majority vanish quietly into the distance to retrain as sports
scientists, run pubs, or do any one of a myriad of other jobs out of necessity after the end of
their playing careers.

Vou torcer por Armstrong. Por tudo o que fez pelo ciclismo e pela prĂłpria vida e porque nĂŁo
acredito, sinceramente, naquilo que o poder do anti-doping francĂȘs vem dizendo ao longo dos anos.
Espero que vença e limpo de qualquer suspeita. Qualquer dia conto uma história "proibida" do
anti-doping francĂȘs e do mau perder e arrogĂąncia de uns, felizmente poucos, franceses,
particularmente do seu actual seleccionador nacional, Raymond Domenech.

Last week, CSKA Sofia one of the biggest clubs in Bulgaria flew a Frenchman named Greg Akcelrod
in for a trial (video) where they're training in Austria. Ackelrod boasted of time in PSG's reserve
squad and interest from a laundry list of clubs across Europe over the last few years interest he
generated through a level of lies and fakery that make him the world's foremost footballing con
man.

Before I moved here, I asked some of my native Chicagoan friends for advice about living here
