he U.S. Supreme Court asked President Joe Biden's administration for its views on whether the justices should take up the U.S. Soccer Federation's bid to bar a lawsuit accusing it of conspiring with FIFA.

It was a case of same score, same player as Flamengo booked their place in an all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores final against Palmeiras.

In a true David vs. Goliath tale, Brazilian powerhouse Flamengo showed their talent and depth in their first-leg win over Ecuadorian side Barcelona.

Can Ecuador's Barcelona keep the Copa Libertadores final from being an all-Brazilian affair? They'll need to take out a super-club to do so.

The Copa Libertadores has reached the semifinal stage, as River Plate host Lanus on Tuesday, followed by Barcelona S.C. hosting Gremio on Wednesday.

"We're facing a Valencia who are possibly a little unknown as Prandelli has only been there for a short time," Luis Enrique said.

"I'm not going to change. [If] it's not going well in the future, next season isn't going well in that way, I will go home," Guardiola said.

Messi scored a hat trick as Barcelona swept past Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.

While their Catalan namesakes are probably better known, Ecuadorian side Barcelona Sporting Club can call on the support of an incredibly loyal fan.

Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Roberto de Assis, said that the Guayaquil club are near a deal for the club's "Noche Amarilla."
