The U.S. Women's National Team came from behind thanks to two late Alex Morgan goals to defeat New Zealand, 2-1, in an international friendly on Saturday afternoon at FC Dallas Stadium (formerly Pizza Hut Park) in Frisco, Texas. Morgan, who gained a reputation as a super-sub during the 2011 Women's World Cup, started this match, but still saved her best for late, tallying in the 88th minute and deep into stoppage time.

The U.S. players had a lot to celebrate Saturday night

1. Ricardo Clark's game-winner in the 97th minute marks the latest goal scored in the second half by the United States in team history.
2. Jurgen Klinsmann has collected back-to-back victories for the first time since becoming head coach last summer, following the 3-2 win against Slovenia on Nov.

"The Bear" and "Man Mountain" are just a couple of the nicknames former New England Revolution goalkeeper Adin Brown earned due to his imposing presence in goal.

Five years ago the New England Revolution won their first major title: the 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Since then, the team's participation in the 98-year-old tournament has been less than memorable.

The Revs fell in the semifinals in 2008, lost in the third round in 2009 and failed to qualify for the competition the past two seasons.

Although the recent rumors (ahem and gesundheit) display the fact the Fire certainly have more pressing needs personnel-wise this offseason, I am confident those will be addressed in due time. So I am turning my attention to why the Fire should introduce a good, usable 3rd jersey.

This is something that has to be done right.

Continuing with the statistical updating that I've been doing, here's another new stat that I hadn't previously done. Here are the top 10 single season minutes for players throughout the team's history. As I mentioned a few times late in the year this year, Matt Besler ended up tied for the 3rd most minutes played in league play in team history.

Juan Agudelo will have a chance to impress at Liverpool beginning today as the New York Red Bulls rising star begins a two-week trial on Merseyside.

Agudelo is the youngest player in national team history to score for the United States, having scored on his debut against South Africa on November 17, 2010.

The Los Angeles Galaxy claimed their first MLS Cup of the David Beckham Era with a 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo Sunday night at the Home Depot Center.

LA Galaxy vs Houston Dynamo The 2011 MLS season will finish Sunday with one of the finalists winning its third title in team history.

FOXBOROOUGH, Mass. Less than 72 hours after his team finished the season with the fewest wins in team history, Steve Nicol parted ways with the Revolution on Monday.

Nicol, who guided the club to a 112-108-81 record in his 10 seasons with the club, led the Revolution to a disappointing 5-16-13 (28 pts.

Yes I'm late, but there were lots of good stats from last night's game. The biggest of all was Davy Arnaud tying the club record for league appearances at 237, but Kei Kamara also had plenty of milestones as well.

The Colorado Rapids come to Toyota Park tonight at 7:30 PM CST so we turned to Chris 'Uz' White of the Burgundy Wave for some insider perspective by exchanging the traditional three questions. If you live in Chicagoland but can't make it to the game, it's being broadcast on My50. The answer to the first question in the exchange is below and the rest of the questions in the exchange are after the break.

Remember Chinatown? It is a great movie about water rights, land development, and conspiracy, starring a young Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. There is an iconic, incest revealing scene in which Nicholson is trying to determine Dunaway's relationship to this girl. He keeps slapping her and with each slap she switches from "my sister" to "my daughter.
