Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has become the latest Barcelona star to egotistically
pronounce the treble winning club's's dominance over their global rivals. Following Sweden's bitter
loss to Denmark this weekend, where the spotlight was stolen away from him thanks to Nicklas
Bendtner's scintillating performance for the Danes, Ibrahimovic has taken his frustrations out on
former club Inter Milan.

The Dynamo had a game last night? I was flipping between Kimbo Slice on The Ultimate Fighter and
Meatloaf on Ghost Hunters. I completely forgot about the Dynamo. I guess that's what happens when
you prefer watching things that are entertaining. Oh well.
The Dynamo lost to Pachuca 1-0 in CONCACRAP action.

FC Dallas is going to help ESPNDallas.com launch by doing a two game partnership that includes
front of the jersey sponsorship. ESPN has been rolling out regional websites for large cities,
Chicago was I believe the first with Boston recently going on line. The first game of this two game
promotion is this Saturday against Real Salt Lake with the second being the New England Revolution
double header with Mexico and Colombia at the Cotton Bowl.

Honestly, I was so damn tired, I didn't even try to spin it like this game in New England was the
game where we secure a spot in the playoffs.

WPS personnel experts surely know more than overworked journalists, but from first glance here,
Philadelphia seems to have put together a ferocious backbone in just three picks. Lori Lindsey is a
quiet but effective central midfielder, Jen Buczkowski showed plenty of potential in Sky Blue's
playoff run, and Nikki Krzysik is a proven young player.

Before Saturday, I remained undecided on whether or not FIFA should add two more officials to
the mix. But since England won the surreal penalty against Slovenia, I find myself tipping in the
direction of adding the extra officials.
In one of the more eye-popping Did-That-Really-Just-Happen moments I've seen in a while, Wayne
Rooney managed to win a penalty after tugging on his Slovenian marker's shirt, losing his balance
and falling to the ground.

Okay, I think I have the WPS playoff picture sorted:
- Los Angeles clinched a while back and they'll host the final two weeks from Saturday.
- St. Saint Louis has clinched second place and will host the "Super Semifinal" two weeks from
yesterday.
- Two of the three games this weekend have bearing on the playoff picture (with three teams - Sky
Blue FC, Washington and Boston battling for the two available spots).

Here are the Breakers' playoff scenerios ... and some preview info and factoids.
The Breakers have allowed fewer shots on goal than any other team at 4.58 per
game...Boston has now been outscored in the 1st half by a margin of 13-6...Amy Rodriguez has seen
only 15 minutes of action over the Breakers' last four matches.

The Sol didn't have to win Sunday, having already wrapped up the WPS regular season title, but
the best way to prepare for the Aug. 22 title game at Home Depot Center is probably not succumbing
to a 3-1 defeat in Chicago that now means LA hasn't won in their last three games.
The Sol has one more chance for a victory at their final regular season game in Boston Sunday
against the Breakers.

The Washington Freedom improved their playoff chances at home on Wednesday night, moving into
third-place with two games left on their schedule. Washington finally took advantage of a 5th
minute Boston red-card and got the only goal of the game when Abby Wambach scored in the 73rd
minute. Boston remains in the playoff hunt, currently fourth and trailing Washington by a point.
