There are just two weeks left in the MLS regular season and the jockeying for the final four
playoff spots will be extra intense this weekend as a handful of vital match-ups look to clear up
the playoff picture.
The Chicago Fire, Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids can lock up playoff spots with wins
this weekend while the New England Revolution attempt to halt a late-season slide that has several
contenders dreaming of grabbing the final playoff berth.

QUESTION ON MY MINDWill Richie Williams be the new head coach at DC United next season?
STARTERSTahiti has played in two U20 World Cup group stage games so far and lost them both 8-0. The first
was to Spain. OK. But the second was to Venezuela, a country that barely plays the game.

The Columbus Crew once again came away empty handed in a Group C match against Cruz Azul. Two first
half goals from the visitors were enough as Columbus fell 2-0.

With a chance to make a push towards the top of the Western Conference, the Colorado Rapids needed
a 93rd minute penalty to salvage a point against San Jose on Wednesday night. Conor Casey's goal
from the penalty spot equalized a 67th-minute penalty from San Jose's Chris Wondolowski. Until that
point, Colorado had gone 377 minutes without being scored against.

You've got to be kidding. For the second time in less than a week, Conor Casey scored on a
penalty kick deep into extra time as the Colorado Rapids tied the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1.

Conor Casey stood up tall again tonight as he netted an injury time penalty to
allow the
Colorado Rapids to pick up another point. A 67th minute penalty from
Chris Wondolowski gave the San Jose Earthquakes the lead before Casey's late penalty.
The Rapids could simply not break down a stubborn San Jose defense for most of the game and failed
to create many chances on the night.

Another week in Major League Soccer, and yet more drama. The play-off picture is continuing to take
shape, with one or two sides making a late run into the all-important wildcard spots. To top it
off, the Red Bulls got a win!
Week 23 got going at Toyota Park last Wednesday, where
LA Galaxy shrugged off the
previous week's home defeat against Seattle to beat
Chicago Fire.

The Wizards had looked to pick up a point on the road with a 0-0 draw with San Jose yesterday until
late in second half stoppage time. San Jose then found the back of the net through Chris
Wondolowski, and the Wizards fell for the third straight game and 4th time in 6 league games. The
team's winless streak has now reached 11 games in all competitions when you factor in the Open Cup
and SuperLiga.

Chris Wondolowski's late snap header earned San Jose all three points Saturday night in a game that
had been dominated by the goalkeepers until that point. Hartman made five saves to reach 1200
career stops. He is the first goalkeeper in MLS history to reach that mark. Cannon made seven saves
for the clean sheet.

The San Jose Earthquakes achieved their biggest win of the season defeating the visiting Seattle
Sounders by a 4-0. A second minute own goal got things started for the home side before second-half
goals by Cornell Glen, Darren Huckerby, and Chris Wondolowski clinched the game for the last place
Quakes.

Plenty of quality goals in week 20, especially considering we had a 4-3 game, a 4-0 game and a
6-0 game on our hands. Then in non-MLS play we did have a stellar goal from David Beckham (it is
posted below the league goals).
Which one was the best? Too many good ones to go through if you ask me.

After taking a few weeks of the 2009 Major League Soccer season to get going, Houston Dynamo
rose to the top of the table last weekend as their remarkable run of good form continued. Chivas
USA, Toronto FC and Chicago Fire have all impressed for periods, but Dynamo have quietly put
together a superb run and put themselves in a position to fly past the stumbling pace-setters.

Houston Dynamo forward Cam Weaver has been selected as the MLS Daily Player of the Week for his
two-goal, one-assist performance in Houston's pair of victories in Week 14. It was Weaver's first
action as a member of the Dynamo, having been traded away from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange
for Chris Wondolowski on Tuesday of last week.

What to make of our last place teams?
San Jose shipped out Nick Garcia and Cam Weaver in exchange for Chris Wondolowski and their real
target, salary cap space. John Doyle, my VERY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD, wouldn't tell Jeff
Carlisle who they were looking at. Understandable, but right now there are way more reasons to go
see the Gold Pride than the Earthquakes.

The big news this past weekend was that three leagues crowned their 2008-09 title winners. Inter
Milan earned its fourth straight Scudetto after Udinese beat A.C. Milan 2-1 on Saturday. For Jose
Mourinho, this was his fifth championship in three leagues, and is the only coach to win both Serie
A and the EPL.

The number was 6,994 entering the weekend. The early game saw Chicago defeat Toronto by the score
of 2-0, so with the later games starting to kick off and four goals to go it was anyone's guess as
to who would hit the milestone.

Instead of getting to rave about that superb connection between second-half subs Corey Ashe and

The reserve division stats on MLSnet are incomplete for both 2005 and 2007; the pdf's for those
seasons only go up to a certain point in the season. The former is only missing the final four
games, but the latter is missing a huge chunk of the season, so I had to go through each match
report and add up things by hand.

A couple of defensive mistakes from the New England forced them to come from behind in both
regulation and extra time, but the Revs fought back both times and eventually took the match to
penalty kicks. Once there the team fell behind again, but this time came back and after 8 rounds
emerged victorious 6-5 to claim the SuperLiga Championship.
