| The U.S. women's team will play Brazil, its conqueror in last year's World Cup, in two exhibition games this summer.

|
| If the San Jose Earthquakes attack had a theme song, Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue" would probably suffice, but manager Frank Yallop is also following Dylan's lead, planning to "keep on keepin' on." |
|
| San Lorenzo, trailing 2-0
and down to nine men with half an hour left, produced an
extraordinary fightback to draw 2-2 with River Plate and reach
the Libertadores Cup quarter-finals on Thursday.
