Honduras 2 U.S. 3
Game story.
Former Galaxy striker Carlos Pavon proved once again why he failed so abysmally in MLS, missing
a crucial penalty in the 87th minute for Honduras that sealed the U.S. win. And then he missed
another sitter two minutes later.
Still, it looked to me a legitimate Honduras goal was called offside.

D.C. United put together one of its most comprehensive performances Thursday night at RFK
Stadium by downing CD Marathon 3-0. Luciano Emilio broke out and scored two goals, while Jaime
Moreno added a tally midway through the second half. The defense also kept a clean sheet for the
second game in a row, as the Black-and-Red put together back-to-back wins for the first time since
late July.

... that the Euros were pretty much all there is that's newsworthy in the world, if you limited
yourself to JordanCornblog. It's just that with healthcare denial the apparent top priority of
Congress, and Obama dangerously on the prowl, accosting schoolchildren with his socialist ideas ...
I'm basically too discouraged and/or angry to write about anything other than England's
history-making run on the soccer pitch.

It's tough to feel anything but disappointment in the result, but the one positive tonight was
the team's supporters - La Barra Brava, Screaming Eagles, La Norte and everyone else at the stadium
absolutely brought it. The last ten minutes of the game was one of the most electric atmospheres
I've seen at RFK.

Here's to you, Sky Blue!
Too bad a red card played into the mix and overall I wish the officiating, all year, in the WPS,

Blue story.
Christie Rampone gets my vote for League MVP. (Oh, and in noodling around on the net last

Happy Saturday morning ... as the clouds roll in, bringing some much needed rain to these
