Well, with a little time separating us from the season I thought I would take a little time to recount some of my favorite moments from the season, you know the ones that really stuck with me as a relatively new soccer fan. These are sequenced in order of my preference, and are subject to my personal memory at the time.

Sometimes I get these weird feelings, like something meaningful is about to happen.

It may be intuition. It may be linked to something that someone told me in confidence. Or, in all honestly, these "feelings" may just be the product of too much spicy food. You never know.

Either way, I'm getting a "feeling" these days related to MLS .

If the Seattle Sounders have an East Coast rival it would be DC United. The origins are from the strong words that the two front offices made leading up to the 2009 US Open Cup Final. The interaction between the two blogs on the network have been nearly as vicious as the games on the pitch. Although the crew at Black and Red United have never stomped on my stomach.

The Columbus Crew as a franchise has been historically kind to the Seattle Sounders in their short MLS history. They've never beaten the Sounders, either at home or away, and their losses have been some of Seattle's most memorable wins. Last season, a 4-0 win over the Crew in Columbus was the most emphatic of the season.

When FC Dallas made history last week by beating UNAM Pumas in CONCACAF Champions League play, becoming the first MLS team to win an official match in Mexico in the process, the question immediately became how long would it take for another MLS to pull off the feat.

It took less than a week.

They come to this match merely average, much as they were last year. Yes, they've had some injuries that have reduced their effectiveness, as well as having them count on Tyrone Marshall for 14 starts and Sanna Nyassi for 5 starts.

What started out as a tight match with only a handful of goal-scoring opportunities turned into a goal fest as the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps slugged out a 2-2 draw.

In the second installment of the Cascadia derby, the Vancouver Whitecaps made the trip down to Seattle to take on its nearest MLS rival at the Sounders' Qwest Field.

The other team in the Cascadia Cup rivalry is often overlooked. The Vancouver Whitecaps fans are just hard to hate. The Southsiders in their brief MLS history have conflicted with their front-office over seemingly small things, like who gets to travel here this weekend.

Some of the luster is off of Real Salt Lake. They lost the CONCACAF Champions League 2nd Leg at home, they lost their MVP candidate and have drawn their last two matches. None of these mean that they are even just an average team. They are still quite good, but the Seattle Sounders have a few things going for them in that RSL has been hit by the Gold Cup already.

Parke is the first defender to win this award since Chad Marshall in Week 22 of the 2009 season, and he narrowly edged out Philadelphia striker Carlos Ruiz for this week's honor.

The Cascadia rivalry gets most of the attention in MLS, but Dallas and Houston are doing their best to promote the matches between the two teams. The Dynamo recently purchased a billboard mocking Dallas' lack of championships and prominently showcasing the two Dynamo trophies. Houston is not the first MLS franchise to purchase an ad in opposing territory, but this represents the first battle in what promises to be a season long PR war between the teams.
