Juninho, Leonardo return to Galaxy
Soccer Betting Lines
02/07/2012 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Galaxy announced Tuesday that Brazilian duo Juninho and Leonardo will return to the club from Brasileiro side Sao Paulo, as Juninho rejoins the club on a season-long loan and Leonardo signs on a free transfer. Per league and club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Juninho has played a major role in the Galaxy's success over the past two seasons, starting 55 regular season games and six of the club's seven postseason matches.
The 23-year-old recorded four goals and two assists in 30 regular season games for Los Angeles in the 2011 season while forming a formidable partnership in the center of midfield with David Beckham.
Juninho signed a contract extension with Sao Paulo following the 2011 MLS season and began training with the first team in early January, but he is now set to return to Southern California ahead of the Galaxy's preseason trip to Arizona.
Leonardo, who turned 24 on Sunday, enjoyed a central role at the heart of the Galaxy defense to the start of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, but was limited by injuries as the season progressed. The six-foot-two Sao Paulo native has made 17 appearances for the Galaxy out of a possible 64 through the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
