Fulham 1: Dempsey 85′Liverpool 0
Same old song and dance for Liverpool with a questionable sending-off and a Pepe Reina error to
spice things up, as the hosts get a late winner and the wasteful guests spend most of their
possession not finishing chances. Posts were hit, fouls weren't given, upper hand was wasted.
Despite giving up an early goal, the Los Angeles Galaxy were able to rally against a early
dominating New York Red Bulls side to win the game 2-1. Los Angeles continues on to the Western
Conference Finals 3-1 on aggregate.
First Half
The New York Red Bulls had nothing to lose going into last night's game.
Three of four lower seeds in the MLS conference playoff semifinals suffered home losses, leaving
most of higher seeds in total control heading into the second leg rematches at mid-week. While that
may not bode well for seeing a true upset in the conference semifinals for the first time in a good
while (unless you think RSL beating Seattle is actually an upset), we still might see some
surprises.
The University of Minnesota women's soccer team notched their 3rd conference win of the season on
Sunday. The Gophers defeated Northwestern College 1-0 on a lone goal by junior midfielder, Allie
Phillips. Junior Olivia Bagnall crossed from the left flank which found Phillips streaking through
the box.
Kansas City gets back to action again tomorrow night on the West Coast when they'll take on the
Earthquakes in San Jose. While KC has a chance to qualify for the playoffs tomorrow with help, they
need to take care of business themselves and win to even have a chance for that to happen. San Jose
isn't going to be a push over, they aren't eliminated from the playoffs themselves and will be
fighting for their playoff lives, and jobs next year as well.
The miss of the ages. A clever through ball by Ramires, a streaking Fernando Torres latches onto
it, cleverly sidesteps David De Gea, and with an open, inviting goal at his disposal, completely
misses!
This will really be the epitaph of his career. Chelsea were looking quite threatening and
Fernando Torres was playing probably his best game in a long, long time.
In a showdown of state powers, DU got the early goal and defended it to steal a 1-0 win over
Colorado on the road at Prentup Field on Sunday.
The Pioneers (5-1-0) followed their early season script of scoring the first goal of every
match, as forward Kalie Vaughn opened the scoring in the seventh minute.
Build up play for the goal starts at 0:52.
Earlier in the week, Keon Daniel started for Trinidad and Tobago in a World Cup Qualifier
against Barbados.
The 25-year-old midfielder went on to score the first goal of the game, which ended up being
good enough to be the game winner.

For some time, there has been a lot of talk among Philadelphia Union fans about Sebastian Le
Toux's performance in 2011. Compared to his outstanding league MVP-worthy 2010 season—14 goals,
11 assists, 90 shots, 48 shots on goal over 28 starts—some argue that the forward is in the
middle of a massive slump and has not demonstrated the he is deserving of the 19 starts and more
than 1700 minutes of game time he has so far received.
Karina Maruyaman is a legend already
The biggest shock in World Cup football. Can it getter bigger than this? The Women's World Cup
champions are eliminated ignominiously. OMGD!! Homare Sawa the midfield general sends Karina
Maruyama streaking and the Philadelphia Union striker finishes off impeccably as the Germans
flounder in a field of pain.
Carlos Ruiz scored his fifth goal of the season to draw the Philadelphia Union even with DC
United late in what would eventually end as a tie between the two teams.
The Breakdown:
Legend: blue is the Union, red is United, yellow is the referee and
the lime green is the goalkeeper.
The 2000 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals (second leg) between Boca and River Plate. The first
leg had gone to their fiercest rivals, 2-1. Martin Palermo came on in the last 15 minutes. It was
his first match after an ACL tear kept him out of action for six months. Boca were up 2-0.
Juan Roman Riquelme lays off the ball for a streaking Christian Gimenez who cuts the ball back
from the sideline.

The rapid succession of goals between Colorado and New York looked more like a boxing match than
a soccer game, as the teams went blow for blow scoring four first half goals in six minutes. The
blitz started with a Jeff Larentowicz penalty and concluded with a Luke Rodgers class finish.

Luke Rodgers broke the New York Red Bulls' 135-minute scoreless streak to power New York past
the San Jose Earthquakes, 3-0, in the pouring rain at Red Bull Arena.
Thierry Henry finally got on the scoresheet to break his scoring drought.

Darlington Nagbe is soft-spoken, one who prefers to allow his actions on the field speak for
him. As the franchise's first draft pick, Nagbe's career will be eternally scrutinized by the Rose
City faithful.
Barcelona on the road can be a treat to watch but Deportivo La Coruna is confident that they can
bring Barca's streak to halt when the men from Camp Nou travel to Galicia in search of 9th
consecutive win on the road. Although making such allegations can come back to bite them, La Coruna
striker Adrian Lopez feels that his side will be the better side when they meet at the Riazor on
Saturday night.
