What can you say? Sergio Aguerro pretty much beat Brazil single-handedly. I don't think anyone expected that kind of domination.

The Nigeria goal-fest against Belgium was less of a surprise. And there were definitely had some beauties in this one, so you should go check 101 Great Goals for the highlights. Click to continue reading...

Man this guy might have one of the most underrated great goals that I can remember.

He had the extra-time equalizer for France in the 2000 Euros against Italy. But everyone remembers the brilliant half-volley winner by Trezeguet...

But yeah, this guy's been suspended by the team after some spats with management, so why not come to New York to finish it out? Click to continue reading...

Below is a quick YouTubers we put together of the goals from tonight's win over the Revolution. We'll have a full Access United with post-game player quotes tomorrow, but being that there wasn't any TV broadcast tonight, we thought you might appreciate seeing this footage as soon as possible... Two great goals from last year's League MVP and a pretty finish from this year's top candidate for Comeback Player of the Year.

United wins 3-1 and is on to the U.S. Open Cup final where they'll play.... well, we don't know that yet. The other semifinal between the Seattle Sounders and Charleston Battery is currently in overtime following a 1-1 finish after 90 minutes. Should Charleston win, United will host the Battery at RFK Stadium, while a Seattle victory would mean a trip to the Pacific Northwest for the Black-and-Red.

So how exactly did Holland score the tying goal against the USA late into stoppage time on Sunday? Check out this photo and you will see who the culprit is. Of the 6 people in the wall for the USA, 5 did what they were supposed to do. 1 did not, and it cost them a clinched spot in the next round.

Morning.

A 3-2 win over Ajax last night. That's good, eh? Oh wait. It's not good. Or something. I must confess I've only seen highlights but from what I've read it seems Adebayor missed 76 chances in the first half, we still can't defend, our midfield is light and we're all going to die.

I stayed up to 2 a.m. my time to watch the start of this one. Sadly after a listless first half I couldn't stay up to watch the second.

I hear Stuart Holden (above) banged home the winner in the 47th minute.

ESPN's Carlisle and SI's Wahl have some more info for ya.

A couple things that stood out: Altidore and Feilhaber benched, Edu kicks ass, Adu was lost and McBride was just, eh. Click to continue reading...

Somewhere on the other side of the world MLS' own Stuart Holden has a smile on his face the length of the Great Wall and I love it. He may also have a massive plate of damn good General Tso's chicken in front of him as well which I wouldn't mind myself right now.

Hopefully getting a goal, and more importantly an early win, will give our boys a nice confidence boost before they play the Dutch. Click to continue reading...

Steve Nicol coached the MLS All-Stars to victory in a back and forth affair with some great goals and the league's stars putting on what was at times an impressive display. In other words, it was exactly what you would hope for from an All-Star game.

The Germany vs Turkey game was one of the best games of the tournament. Back and forth action, great goals, multiple comebacks, and despite the losing effort a tremendously brave performance from the Turkish team, many of whom would not be in the starting XI except for injuries. Full credit to the Germans though as they showed their talent and class by maintaining their composure and getting the victory. Click to continue reading...
