Each Monday we'll give you links to RSL, MLS and other Soccer news from the past week that you may have missed. We'll start with Real's news.

In case you hadn't heard... RSL bought out Movsisyan's contract from Spartak Moscow. It received a LOT of coverage on the RSL site, (and of course we mentioned it on the Soapbox); read more from the SLTrib, Deseret News, Goal.com, NBC Sports, MLS, and Soccer America.
