After the debuts of Andres Mendoza (CLB) and Ruben Luna (DAL), we're now only 8 players away from
reaching 1,500 all time for MLS teams. Geovanni and Sal Zizzo were the previous two.
Eight more to go! This includes all competitions, and only those who've actually got into a game in
a competitive match.
Welcome to your first serving of the Morning Espresso, where the previous night's MLS action is
delivered to you piping hot, without any artificial sweeteners or additives.
With the finish line of the regular season quickly approaching, points were at a premium for the
playoff hopefuls. However, the memo was clearly missed by a few of the candidates.

And that word is:
Juninho.
For the past couple of weeks I've been beating the drums for the return of Juninho (not like
Bruce and Dave wanted to keep him out he went through some visa difficulties trying to get back
from a personal visit home to Brazil) because of the uninspired and uncreative futbol the Galaxy
had been playing in his absence.
The playoff push seems to be setting in a big way right now for the clubs in the league. The
eight who are "in" right now are looking strong while the other eight seem to not have enough fight
in them to help make things a bit more interesting here.
RSL is still the top dog for me but I do see the LA Galaxy making a charge here to regain their
top spot that they held on to for so long this season.

sake. Sprite and Starburst. Trust me on that last one.

Columbus travelled to Trinidad two days ago not knowing if they would need a win to advance to the
knockout round of the CONCACAF Champions League. As it turns out, Tuesday night's result put
Columbus through. With second secure and no chance at passing Santos for first in Group B, Columbus
responded with a strong second-half in Tunapuna.

The Colorado Rapids and Columbus Crew each should have mixed emotions heading into Saturday's
Eastern Conference semifinal second leg (4 p.m., Telefutura).
For the Rapids, they were the far better team in the opening leg, creating chances, exploiting
space and getting top-notch play out of Conor Casey and Omar Cummings and stellar midfield
performances on both sides of the ball from Pablo Mastroeni, Brian Mullan and Jeff Larentowicz.
