U.S. international defender Cory Gibbs has left Feyernoord, which deemed him expendable while he was out with a knee injury, for fellow

2004-05 season.
University of Maryland senior defender Chris Lancos, 21, has signed an amateur contract with German First Division club Kaiserslautern to play for its Third

his junior year to sign with AEK Athens in January 2004. ... Manchester United has released 21-year-old Texas product Kenny Cooper. The striker joined the club in 2003, played on loan for
Portuguese First Division club Academica Coimbra and English third-tier Oldham Athletic, but did not break into Man U's first team. ...

team defender Oguchi Onyewu received his third red card of the season, sent off for a foul in the 20th minute while his team led Gent, 1-0. Standard lost the Belgian Cup quarterfinal, 2-1.
His two other reds came in league play.
