I will have a piece up at ESPN Soccernet later today looking back at the pair of weekend
conference finals and gazing ahead at this weekend's MLS championship. Here's a little sneak peak
at the most interesting note:
It involved Landon Donovan and his ability to convert penalty kicks. And it involves
RealSaltLake goalkeeper Nick Rimando, whose heroic performance in Saturday's penalty kick
tiebreaker against Chicago is a big reason why the men of Utah remain alive today.

Three big saves by Rimando in the penalty shootout keeps the Fire out. Ned Grabavoy nails the
winning penalty kick after Fabian Espindola misses his chance. The Fire fell victim to a peculiar
directional bias that made them test Rimando low on his left as Thorrington, Pause, and Prideaux
became predictable.

A penalty kick on the only shot of the first half by Slovakia was the deciding factor as the U.S.

National Team head coach
Bob Bradley.

The U.S. national team returns to action for the first time since qualifying for the 2010 World
Cup today when it takes on Slovakia in a friendly in Bratislava (10am, FSC).
The Americans are without Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, as well as the injured Oguchi Onyewu
and Jay DeMerit, but there are still plenty of starters who will have chances to show they can play
without the team's top players.

Dirty Tackle 11 November @ 03:53 AM EST
In a match from Argentina's Liga Regional de San Francisco between Sociedad Sportiva Devoto and
Rivadavia de Rio Primero, the referee showed a red card to a Rio Primero defender for his
goal-saving handball in a way that was either very nice or very creepy, depending on how you look
at it.

We think diving is as much a stain on the modern game as the next person, but it's come to the
point that when someone wins a penalty the armchair fans instinctively brandish the player a liar
and a cheat. Such was the case after Monday's Liverpool v Birmingham match, when
Lee Carsley's lunge at David Ngog in the penalty box earned the Reds a
penalty kick, a valuable point, and ultimately gave Rafa Benitez a stay of execution.

Liverpool midfielder David N'Gog may have salvaged his club from losing against Birmingham on
Monday, but he did so with one of the most highly-criticized dives in recent memory.
With Birmingham shockingly leading the hosts 2-1 in the second half, N'Gog dribbled into the
penalty area before being brought down by midfielder Lee Carsley's sliding challenge.

After Real Salt Lake's stunning upset of Supporters' Shield winner and defending MLS Cup

David Beckham played a huge role in earning this goal for the Galaxy sending a long, gorgeous
crossfield pass from the Galaxy's own half to Landon Donovan who crossed it to Mike Magee.
Magee was brought down - speared really by Yamith Cuesta - as he attempted to control the ball
and was rewarded with a penalty kick.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto was being counted on to help his Columbus Crew climb out of the one-goal
deficit it faced after a Game One defeat to Real Salt Lake, and he did just that with two
first-half goals in Thursday night's Game Two. Unfortunately for the Crew, the normally stout
defense it was counting on to pitch a shutout delivered a mistake-filled performance that has
helped put an end to Columbus' quest for a repeat.
