Barca admits that pursuit of Fabregas is off

The Barcelona front office has stated that they will 'respect' Arsenal's wishes and end their pursuit of Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Barca has previously offered 35 million lira, but the London club had insisted they did not want to sell their captain. While Cesc has stated that he is happy to stay with Arsenal, I doubt this story will go away until the summer transfer window closes. However, it will be a lingering rumor for years to come if he doesn't make the switch.

Fulham Announce Mark Hughes as new manager

Source: SI.com

LONDON (AP) -- British media reports say that Mark Hughes has agreed to manage Premier League club Fulham.

The Guardian and Daily Mail newspapers reported Wednesday night on their websites that the 46-year-old former Manchester City manager had agreed terms with the London club.

Fulham lost last season's Europa League final to Atletico Madrid.

After Roy Hodgson left to manage Liverpool, Martin Jol was pursued but Fulham's approaches were rebuffed by Ajax.

Hughes, a former striker for Manchester United and Chelsea, has been out of work since being fired by Man City in December.

Hughes' managerial career began in 1999 with Wales. He moved into club management in 2004 with Blackburn before leaving four years later to join City.

This is the first match between the teams. The MLS All-Stars have won three times in four matches against teams from the English Premier League since 2005, losing only to Everton in penalty kicks in 2009.

The MLS lineup includes US World Cup hero Landon Donovan, 2008 league MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto, past World Cup selections in Brian Ching,Edson Buddle and Bobby Convey and seven-time MLS All-Star Shalrie Joseph.LA Galaxy coach and former US national team boss Bruce Arena leads the group.

Manchester United are in the middle of their preseason preparations, and several players that participated in the World Cup will not be playing on Wednesday night. The Red Devils still boast a star-studded lineup with the likes of superstars Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who is the first Mexican player to sign with the Red Devils.

CONCACAF Champions League Tuesday Night Results

Here is a look at the status of the CONCACAF Champions League Preliminary Round (Table provided by concacafchampions.com). For the most part the favorites won - three out of the four. However, the big result of the night was the 4-1 demolishing that the Puerto Rico Islanders handed to the LA Galaxy. LA was at home and its only goal of the night came as the result of a PR own goal. Their future in the competition looks bleak giving up 4 away goals.
