Sigh.
First of all, the Arsenal Offside would like to place its thoughts to the victims from today's
awful turn of events in Egypt. A truly disheartening experience. Some things are bigger than
football, and this was definitely one of them.
Typical Arsenal. A few days after a great comeback victory, a victory that had the potential to
help turn our season around and put us on the right track (granted, it was a poor Villa side), we
draw against an insipid Bolton side that is currently languishing around the relegation zone.

Boston College continued their unexpected charge into the ACC finals while North Carolina
continued to look like a national title contender as the semifinals of the ACC wrapped up on a
chilly night in Cary, NC.
North Carolina finally took advantage of a number of gilt-edged chances less than two minutes
into the first overtime period to claim a 1-0 victory over a physical Virginia team.
We recorded on Monday so this week's episode of Nos Audietis is pretty much about all the
festivities surrounding Kasey Keller's final regular-season home game. And what a game it was. Not
only did Sounder at Heart host a pretty awesome little get together, but the Seattle Sounders
treated the fans to a pretty impressive comeback victory that allowed Keller's day to be a real
celebration.

Chelsea turned in an epic first-half performance as Andre Villas-Boas remains unbeaten in UEFA
Champions League play with his new club.
Chelsea demolished tiny Racing Genk 5-0 at Stamford Bridge with four goals coming in the first
half. More encouraging for the Blues is the regained form of Fernando Torres, who notched a double
within the first 30 minutes.
One of the mostly overlooked storylines of last night's comeback victory over the San Jose
Earthquakes was that the Seattle Sounders won the 2011 Heritage Cup - their second consecutive win
in the three-year history of that trophy. That would be the third piece of hardware for the
Sounders this season after the 2011 Cascadia Cup and the 2011 US Open Cup.
After a tense 90 minutes, Greece finally booked their Euro 2012 ticket in Poland and Ukraine
with a 2-1 comeback victory over Georgia in Tbilisi. Greece top Group F with 24 points amassed from
seven wins and three draws. Croatia, who defeated Latvia 2-0 today, finish second with 22 points

UCLA began the year with high expectations, but a slow start raised serious questions about
whether the Bruins were going to be a serious contender in 2011.
UCLA looked more like the team that began the year ranked No. 2 in the nation on Friday night,
as a Chandler Hoffman hat-trick helped the No.

The Carolina Railhawks have absolutely nothing to play for and it showed with a toothless 1-0
loss to the Montreal Impact, a team with everything to play for.
The NSC Minnesota Stars managed to keep distance between themselves and seventh-placed Montreal
with a 2-0 victory over the Atlanta Silverbacks.

After a 2010 that saw the top spot change only once, the number one seed seems to be a cursed
position this time around.
No. 1 North Carolina followed up a win over former top seed Louisville with a double overtime
loss against unranked Virginia Tech.
After watching three league games from the bench to begin the Portuguese season, Oguchi Onyewu was
handed his first start and helped Sporting Lisbon to a comeback victory.

When Omar Bravo finished off a Teal Bunbury pass to give Sporting Kansas City a 2-0 lead on FC
Dallas in the 68th minute on Saturday night, the match-up of top MLS clubs looked to be over. The
home team was leading, the visitors were feeling the grind of a busy week, and it would have been
easy for Dallas to look ahead to Tuesday's U.
The Colorado Rapids couldn't have gotten off to a worse start in their CONCACAF Champions League
match on Wednesday night, surrendering an early penalty to go down 1-0 to visiting Salvadoran side
Metapan.
The defending MLS Cup champions didn't buckle though, not even after a Matt Pickens blunder gave
Metapan a 2-1 lead.
Over the last year or so, we have discussed MLS' efforts to measure the value of its television
exposure through various local and national broadcasts. Through the website criticalmention.com,
MLS tries to alert media to the "value" of its presence on various television programs. Since a
few weeks have passed since we last checked in on this metric, we thought providing a snapshot of
this metric of MLS media exposure.
What are the odds David De Gea starts fewer than 30 matches this season after his
Wembley wobble? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day
The Community Shield reinforced the belief that Manchester United don't know they are beaten
until the final whistle sounds. Unless they're playing Barcelona, when they know they're beaten
when the first whistle sounds.
