League Soccer's playoffs. Last season and facing the same scenario against New York, the Dynamo

In a match that featured intense physical play, defensive dominance and a near-brawl, the
Seattle Sounders drew 0-0 with the Houston Dynamo on Thursday night at Qwest Field. Seattle
defender Patrick Ianni, a last-minute replacement in the starting lineup, came closest to scoring
by hitting the crossbar, but the home side also needed a few clutch saves by Kasey
Keller to salvage the draw.

Sometimes miracles don't happen. The late surge by FC Dallas to secure an incredibly unlikely
post-season berth came up short at packed Qwest Field in chilly Seattle as Dallas fell 2-1 to

secure a place in the post-season.

The Seattle Sounders shut down any hopes for the F.C. Dallas winning the Major League Soccer Cup
this year by eliminating them from the playoffs. Saturday night's game at the Qwest Fields in
Seattle was a saddening loss for Dallas when they let in two goals, ending the game 2-1.

First of all, sorry about last night and not having anything to discuss here. I honestly wasn't
feeling it and furthermore just wanted to relax and watch some of the games that were on. But I am
back tonight with a couple interesting items.
The first got me really thinking. Steve Davis, the Dallas writing genius that he is posted this
little diddy about the best stadiums in the league 2010 style.

With the Rapids' failure to grab three points against San Jose, the playoff race fails to get

Week 27 is down and in the books. Only a few weeks left to go and this regular season will be
finished. This weeks rankings saw yet another shift around the middle of the order but for the most
part a good chunk of clubs stayed put from last week's table.
Still, the top four and the bottom four are the same that we've seen for the last few months
that's one thing that has remained consistent here.
