TORONTO -- Ryan Nelsen has added former Queens Park Rangers teammate Tal Ben Haim to Toronto FCs roster. The 31-year-old Israeli defender joins Toronto on loan from the English Premier League club, where he made six appearance since he signed in January. Ben Haim played on the QPRs back line with Nelsen before Torontos rookie head coach retired in January. "Tal Ben Haim has been one of the top defenders in the EPL for nearly a decade. He captains his national team and Ryan thinks the world of him," Toronto FC president and GM Kevin Payne said in a statement. "Hes exactly the sort of veteran defender we need." Ben Haim has made over 300 appearances during nine seasons in England, eight of which have been in the EPL. Ben Haim played for Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Tel Aviv, making his pro debut in April of 2001 and earning the captains armband in 2003-04. He went on to play three seasons with Bolton Wanderers, a season with Chelsea where he was a part of the clubs second place finish in the Premier League in 2007-08. He also spent time with Manchester City, Sunderland, Portsmouth and West Ham United. Ben Haim has earned 71 caps for the Israeli national team, his most recent coming in a World Cup qualifier versus Northern Ireland in March. Dallas Mavericks Jerseys .

LANDOVER, Md. -- The Cleveland Browns felt certain that Duke Johnson recovered his fumble with 9:32 left in the Browns 31-20 loss to Washington.The officials decided otherwise.So the Browns were left to grumble about three costly turnovers in the final 16 minutes that led to 14 Redskins points. Johnsons fumble did not lead to Washington points, but it was part of a momentum shift away from the Browns as they saw a 20-17 lead fade into their fourth loss in four games.Obviously, it was a huge point in the game, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. But hey, they called it. We cant let the ball out. We just cant turn it over. Its unfortunate we put the officials even in that spot. We should be holding on to the ball.The situation: Washington led 24-20, having turned a recovery of a Malcolm Johnson fumble late in the third quarter into a Kirk Cousins touchdown pass.The Browns took the kickoff and drove to their 42, where Cody Kessler handed off to Johnson. He ran left, then fumbled.The ball bounced right back to Johnson, who stood up from the pile holding the ball in the air. Officials, meanwhile, went to players in a scrum on the ground that looked like players fighting for the ball.As Johnson stood up holding the ball, officials signaled it was Washingtons ball. The video and photos and screen shots from the play painted a bizarre picture, to say the leeast.dddddddddddd.Players said that after the scrum, officials huddled up and line judge Sarah Thomas said she saw a Washington player with the ball on the ground before Johnson stood up with it. Thomas explained the ruling to Jackson.?Thus, the ball went to Washington.The play was reviewed, which is routine on turnovers. The on-field ruling was a fumble, recovered by Washington, the NFLs Michael Signora wrote in an e-mail. It was confirmed as a fumble in instant replay without the need to stop the game. As to the recovery, several different angles were looked at, but with nothing definitive shown, there was no need to stop the game because the on-field ruling that awarded possession to Washington would have stood.Theres frustration, Jackson said. But when the official tells you its already been reviewed and its their ball, theres nothing I can do. I can yell, scream or do whatever. Its not going to change the call.The Browns refused to blame the officials; in an earlier loss to Baltimore, they did not blame the officials for a questionable taunting call on Terrelle Pryor.I cannot put the team in that situation, Johnson said.I just know we cant leave the game in the officials hands, running back Isaiah Crowell said.
