Mines (19-4-0) will face Metropolitan State College at noon Friday at Auraria Field in downtown
Denver.
Mitchell, who finished the match with eight shots, scored the winning goal in the 40th minute,
capitalizing on some miscommunication in the Fort Lewis defense.

The Big Puma was Back, at Least for a NightRare is the sight in Mexican futbol of a stadium packed to capacity. It happens in some places with
regualrity: the two Monterrey stadia, Santos, and San Luis Potosà seems to have sell outs every
game. The big teams, on the other hand, only seem to pack the place when it's either a rivalry game
or a late rounder in the liguilla.

most important time, the end of the season.
The Trojans struck first 15 minutes into the second half.

The Fire headed into Sunday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at the New England
Revolution knowing that they couldn't afford to give the Revs many set piece opportunities.
"We have to limit their set pieces," Fire Head Coach Denis Hamlett said earlier this week. "[We
have to be careful on] throw-ins and corner kicks because they do well with those.

After three consecutive years suffering playoff heartbreak against the Revolution, the Fire will

AEK Archives 02 October @ 12:22 PM EST
A resurgent AEK overcame a depressing 4-0 thrashing to Everton two weeks ago to grind out a
surprising but deserved 1-0 victory over Portugeuese powerhouse club Benfica FC.
The night started dismally for AEK. Playing what I believe was a 4-2-3-1 with Saja in goal and
Juanfran, Arce, Marjstorovic, and Gorgeas in the back, Kafes and Jahic in defensive midfield roles,
Manduca, Scocco and Hersi forming a three-man attacking line and Blanco playing lone goal-poacher
up top, AEK struggled for possession early on.

Colorado finished its stretch of 3 games in 8 days with a quiet draw in Kansas City. Honestly there
isn't much to say about this game. The Rapids were obviously hoping to steal 3 points by scoring on
a counter-attack and sneaking out of town with a 1-0 win, but otherwise were happy with a scoreless
draw.

Let's talk Arsenal. They're playing well this season despite a few bumps in the road, and a host of
injuries - and more importantly, they have an upcoming fixture list that is just superb: Fulham,
Blackburn, Birmingham, and West Ham are the next four. Talk about taking on mid-table
mediocrity.
So - if you're looking for some offensive Arsenal investment (and let's leave the injured Arshavin
out of the equation for now), and are considering Cesc Fabregas vs Robin van Persie - let's take a
look at the pros and cons:
RVP: In February I called RVP the "next Ronaldo," from a fantasy perspective.

A roundup of Sunday's college soccer action involving teams from Colorado:
WOMEN
Santa Clara 1, Colorado 0 OT: At Palo Alto, Calif., the Buffaloes dropped their
second contest in the Stanford?Nike Invitational. Linder would be tested two more times in a
one-minute span, coming up with the saves on both attempts, however with less than two minutes to
play in the first overtime period, Santa Clara would seal the deal and finally sneak past Linder
for the win.

In the old days, Reid loved doughnuts more than corner kicks
I was leaning all week towards Everton's Steven Pienaar - his goal last night in the Europa League
only further confirming his chance as a Funny Feeling Friday selection - but, having selected
Everton's Rodwell just a few weeks ago - and seeing as Pienaar is already owned by about 7% of
managers - I went with an unlikely selection, the less than 1% owned Andy Reid.

The 2-1 scoreline on Sunday didn't indicate the dominant performance that was expected by Tampa in

Spartans at bay.
