this metric of MLS media exposure.

Mexico may have won its quarterfinals match, but it doesn't look as unbeatable as it did in the
group stage.
El Tri advanced to the semifinals of the Gold Cup with a 2-1 comeback victory over Guatemala in
front of a crowd of 78,807 at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
By Neil W. Blackmon Three thoughts on a great win for the USMNT today at RFK Stadium and more
broadly on a weekend that changed (for now) the complexion of this Gold Cup tournament. Mexico
looked vulnerable Saturday night, despite a comeback victory. They were disorganized in the back
against a Guatemalan team that only [.

Orlando City took advantage of its rivals being on hiatus during the weekend to increase its
lead in the ultra-competitive American Division to seven points.
Orlando scored three times in the second half to earn a comeback victory over a Wilmington team
that was riding a four-game unbeaten streak.
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.

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.
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.
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.

After Tuesday's thrilling comeback victory at Blackpool, Manchester United return to FA Cup
action and to the road as they face League One promotion hopefuls Southampton on Saturday
evening.
On Tuesday night at Bloomfield Road, United were down 2-0 with under 20 minutes remaining. But
three goals in the late stages, including a brace by Premier League scoring leader Dimitar
Berbatov, handed the league leaders a 3-2 win and a five-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the
Premier League table.

When they won the 2010 USSF Division 2 Championship, the Puerto Rico Islanders rode a stunning
hot streak after a mediocre regular season.

Dallas in the 68th minute on Saturday night, the match-up of top MLS clubs looked to be over. The

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.
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.
After a tense 90 minutes, Greece finally booked their Euro 2012 ticket in Poland and Ukraine

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.

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.

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

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.
