The Columbus Crew have been struggling in a variety of areas, one of which is the team's lack of
a proven defensive midfielder. The team addressed that need on Monday with the signing of MLS

for the region's third and last berth in the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying finals. Costa Rica will

Ten years ago today on Oct. 7, 2001, the U.S. Men's National Team faced Jamaica on MatchDay 9 of
final round qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Having lost three straight matches, the USA's

Sem querer estabelecer qualquer conotação homofóbica, é condição do senso comum partir do
pressuposto de que a palavra "gay" remete para comportamentos por vezes efeminados. O velocista
norte-americano Tyson Gay é um dos exemplos mais conhecidos de que o facto de carregar com um
