Catracho Crunch

It's down to the final two games in CONCACAF qualifying, and though the USA lead the group, it's by a tiny margin. Their opponents are also going to be tough, as Honduras hardly ever lose at home. Goal.com's Noah Davis is on site and kicks off coverage with a preview of the match-up.

Beckham Going Back

Plans for David Beckham to return to AC Milan on loan are being finalized. The deal could help the Italian squad's fortunes, as they have struggled of late. However, the move would not happen until the winter break of the Serie A season, after the LA Galaxy finish the MLS season.

Canna Tests Positive

A drug test on Italy's Fabio Cannavaro came out positive, but the player and his club, Juventus, had a ready explanation for the situation. Still, an investigation has resulted into the matter to verify his claims and the defender no doubt hopes to have the matter cleared up soon.

Rocking Ronaldinho

AC Milan's midfielder may face extra scrutiny now that he has been caught out in the party life even as his squad struggles to regain their footing in Serie A. Ronaldinho has been counted on to be a part of AC Milan's revival, as they have won precious little since selling Kaka.

Freedom For Fab

Cesc Fabregas says he is loving his new role at Arsenal. The skipper has been given more freedom in Arsene Wenger's new 4-3-3 setup and is playing some of the best footy of his young career. Another Arsenal player has been given a new role as Thomas Vermaelen has been named Belgium captain.

Injury Setback For Jones

Jermaine Jones has suffered another setback in his bid for fitness. The Schalke midfielder, who has yet to make his widely anticipated debut for the U.S. National Team, has had to undergo surgery to remove a metal plate from his leg. The latest surgery will keep Jones out at least six more weeks.
