Isn't it great how Mondays seem so much sweeter after a win? The New England Revolution are sixth in the East (how bad is that, by the way, that three points bumps us that high in this conference?), the Portland Timbers are vanquished, Shalrie Joseph is the minutes leader, and Matt Reis has made 1000 saves.

Today is a huge day in the history of FC Nordsjælland and Michael Parkhurst has just put them up 1-0 at third place chasers AC Horsens in the 28th minute. I've yet to see it, so I can't describe it for you - but if they win to go seven points clear for a Champions League slot, it won't matter if he fell down unconscious and knocked it in with his knee.

Clarence Goodson and the Brondby back line did their part to keep AC Horsens off the scoreboard, however a dubious non-call on a clear offside infraction doomed them to a home loss on Monday night.
