Today the world is bracing itself for yet another edition of Wayne Rooney. Kai Wayne Rooney was born today, November 2, in Liverpool. Young Rooney's arrived nine days overdue, but Wayne's first son's birth means that he just might make it to Manchester United's clash against CSKA Moscow tomorrow night (Tuesday).

Well, English football's golden child has arrived and bets are already being taken on whether newborn Kai will eventually live up to his father's high standard as a professional footballer (you know, as the children of the incredibly talented and famous always do).

The bookies at Ladbrokes have set the odds on mini-Roo breaking into Manchester United's first team at 33-1.

She did it!

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen are the new parents of a healthy little baby boy named Kai Wayne Rooney at 13.45 this afternoon. We've not checked the exact dates, but we're quite sure Coleen was pregnant for several years.

Not possible? Really?

It's amazing what's on YouTube these days. Here's an entertaining Friday video of U.S. National Team forward Natasha Kai and some of her teammates engaging in a game of video game horse racing in an arcade somewhere.

"The fibers of this team are so close and so that that nothing was going to break us." Sky Blue FC's Heather O'Reilly (left, with Natasha Kai) on her team's triumph in the inaugural Women's Professional Soccer championship game. O'Reilly scored the game's only goal in the 16th minute and the New York/New Jersey franchise held on to defeat th heavily-favored Los Angeles Sol.

The highs and lows of the Women's Pro Soccer season were ever so present in the first WPS Championship.

Sky Blue FC beat LA Sol 1-0 to win the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) championship game on Saturday, thanks to a goal from Heather O'Reilly (pictured with Natasha Kai and Natasha Kai's tattoos) So WPS has survived its inaugural season (even after launching at the worst possible time, economically speaking) and - crucially -established the [.

Sky Blue FC finished off their dramatic run through the Women's Professional Soccer playoffs on Saturday, beating the Los Angeles Sol 1-0 at the Home Depot Center to win the first WPS Championship. Heather O'Reilly was named the game's Most Valuable Player for scoring in the 16th minute. "Natasha Kai is pretty well known for headers in the box so I was kind of hanging back post," O'Reilly said.

Sol 0 Sky Blue FC 1

It's a well-deserved lead for the underdogs against a flat Sol. Coach Abner Rogers removed midfielder McCall Zerboni for defender Sharolta Nonen after the straight red, but the Sol will need to do more than that to come from behind. Which team had the most rest coming into this game anyway?

A straight red for Sol defender Allison Falk in the 27th minute after she clipped an on-rushing Natasha Kai from behind.

A poor decision by referee Kari Seitz in a championship game this early that changes the complexion of the match; no way did that look deliberate. It was just a clumsy, almost accidental touch.

Sol 0 Sky Blue FC 1

The improbable story of Sky Blue FC continues.

A 16th minute cross by Sky Blue midfielder Keeley Dowling that was nodded on by Natasha Kai and met by Heather O'Reilly from eight yards out provided the opening goal.

Through two coaching changes, Sky Blue hasn't really changed all that much.
In a preseason game in Washington, they played a high defensive line to compress the field, they showed a tendency to get physical, and they saved Natasha Kai for the second half because she had been traveling with the national team. Click to continue reading...

Perhaps the most unlikely of opponents. And Sky Blue have never beaten the Sol.

Game story and game story.

Quotable:

"We play for each other and that's the way we play," said Sky Blue's Natasha Kai. "When we win for each other it's the best feeling. It's one of the best feelings I've had, we're the fourth seed and now were in the championship.

Last Saturday was a historic day. It was the date of the first ever WPS Playoff Game. It was also the first WPS game I ever watched with my wife. She is not a huge soccer fan, but we were killing time in a hotel room before meeting friends, and I got her to watch the 2nd half. Now she is hooked.

The WPS playoffs started a few days ago. Kai has really impressed me this season, she shows so much courage around the goal!

The Super Semifinal is this Wednesday on FSC at 7pm Eastern time.

The Washington Freedom had home field advantage in the opening round of Women's Professional Soccer, but it was Saint Louis Athletica overturning last week's loss on the same field to advance to the semifinals with a 2-1 win. Saint Louis dominated opportunities, putting 10 of 24 shots on frame to Washington's three from 12. Click to continue reading...

So this past week had a load of quality goals. I mean a load that were just great from top to bottom. A couple could really be classed as goal of the year quality too (Landon Donvoan's comes to mind). While I am sorting out the issues with the post I had for the weekend recap, here are the week's best goals to get us started this week.

I've been reading what I can find about the coaching mess at Sky Blue FC ... and finding little of actual substance on the subject. Overall, the management does itself no favors by dissing Kelly Lindsey in their public comments. They come off looking very small, indeed. Yet, at the same time, her behavior (abruptly quitting her job with only a couple of games left in the season) is puzzling and awfully dramatic and abrupt.

An open letter to Clark Hunt...

You dont know me from adam. I am just another one of those nameless pundant/fans that used to flock to your stadium to watch the Hoops...FCD..or whatever they are called these days. The last two games have been great. We have won. We have played soccer the way that the bus driver wants to see.

When one of your favorite and most important players is continually linked with another club, all you want them to do is come out and pledge their allegiance to the team and supporters. Unfortunately, sometimes that player really does want to go elsewhere and even though they've tried to keep it hush hush for fear of a backlash from the fans or the club that they are currently with, it gradually sort of just comes out.

Week 18 in Major League Soccer has already gotten off to a bang. Last night's 3-1 thrashing in Giant's Stadium by LA over New York probably set the tone for what this weekend should be like.

The tone was set early and often by LA with Landon Donovan really showing just how good he can be for LA and for MLS.
