Fuller Continues Goal Scoring Form
Reggae Boy Ricardo Fuller continued his late-season goal-scoring form with another strike in Southampton's loss to Crystal Palace in the English Championship on Saturday. Fuller scored in the 69th minute, just minutes after Crystal palace took the lead on an Andrew Johnson goal. The 26 year-old Fuller timed Darren Potter's left-sided cross and placed his header into the top right-hand corner of the goal. Southampton fell behind again as Clinton Morrison came off the bench to find the nets nine minutes from the end to give Crystal Palace the win. Fuller is now Southampton's leading goalscorer this season with seven goals

Team immediately USA stepped up the pace with some positive runs forward only to be kept at bay by a solid looking Reggae Boyz defense.
The USA finally broke through in the 25th minute as Ben Olsen collected a quick Landon Donovan's pass in the goal area and a struck a low shot under the an out stretched Ricketts into the net.The Boyz countered well at times and in the 31st minute, Jamal Campbell-Ryce, showed good pace and skill down right side, twisting Chris Albright around before crossing to Ryan Johnson in the centre, but the latter's shot was blocked.
Early in the second half, Donovan Ricketts pulled off a spectacular one-handed save, tipping Chris Albright's close-range header over the cross bar. The game seemed to lose momentum as both teams made substitutions midway in the half. USA pressed for the winner late in the game but the Reggae Boyz maintained their composure for a well deserved 1-1 draw. The U.S. is now 9-0-8 against Jamaica.
