"I understand that Donovan got a yellow card for lightly brushing up against a Mexican player who dived like a coward"

Also, Dan Roan (reliable football journo at the BBC) just tweeted that Barcelona have instructed a well-known sports agency to start working on Fabregas' image rights and to come up with ideas for "maximum commercial exploitation" of Fabregas' homecoming. If that's true, sounds like Barcelona think the deal is done.
