The seven-game winless run has not gone unnoticed by Seattle Sounders leadership. I had a chance
to catch up with Sounders GM Adrian Hanauer earlier this week and he made it very clear that
something is going to have to change. That might be the Sounders simply playing better, but he's
clearly not ready to just sit on his hands and hope that happens.
The battle for South American supremacy kicks off tonight.

by Gordon Fleetwood
Each year a multitude of footballers from across South America take the worn path to Europe to seek fame and fortune. Some fail to settle and head back to the comforts of home after only a few months.
Always good for a wry smirk: Here's Neymar gleaning a penalty by 'Neymaring' (outside the area
we might add!) in the 16th minute of Santos' Recopa Sudamericana game against Universidad De

Angelo Henriquez, who passed his Manchester United medical yesterday, has revealed he will talk
to Sir Alex Ferguson today about his future at the club.
It is likely that the 18-year-old striker will remain with Universidad de Chile on loan from
United.
"I am fulfilling a dream that I have had for a long time and I will be able to realise it
soon," he told La Tercera.

The ink is barely dry on Van Persie's contract, but that hasn't stopped Manchester Utd rooting
around to see what other players could bolster the squad. And so we have news of not another

question are not Lionel Messi and Ronaldo.
