León goleo a Dorados 6-1 y tiene pie y medio en la liguilla. Pero la nota de la semana es la del panameño que se convirtió en héroe , en el minuto 90+2, cuando el técnico de Indios, Sergio Orduña ya había realizado los tres cambios, fue expulsado su portero de Ciudad Juarez entonces Blas Pérez lo sustituyó y detuvo el penal lanzado por Manuel Mariaca y logro el triunfo,antes ya habia anotado un gol el delantero convertido en arquero.

Champagne, bags of bank notes and Adidas balls: these were amongst the gifts Macedonian Blagoje Vidinić received during his African odyssey in the early 1970s.

This was a man who presided over the joint-worst World Cup performance of all time, but also a man who as a goalkeeper had once rivaled Lev Yashin in many eyes, who had played in Los Angeles, San Diego, St Louis in a pioneering era of American soccer; a man who as coach took two African countries to unprecedented heights and managed to change the course of world sporting history, by tipping off Horst Dassler just in time for the Adidas head to back the right man in the 1974 FIFA presidential election.

Operating under a new name, Colorado Mesa University got off to a tough start on the weekend with an early run on Thursday night.

Cal State Dominguez Hills notched a goal in the 7th minute and the 79th minute to seal the win, 2-1, in the opener for both teams.

Cal State Dominguez Hills, the 2008 NCAA National Champions, got an early goal from Billy Gutierrez to give the Toros an early advantage.

It might seem like madness to start projecting playoff matchups when there's still nearly a third of the regular season yet to play, but the results this past weekend clarified the picture in two different ways.

First, the Sounders are almost certain to make the playoffs. This may seem like some uncomfortable pre-hatch chicken counting, but barring a cataclysmic series of injuries (knock on wood) Seattle will be in it.

The late John Facenda, who many people recognize from his iconic work for NFL Films, also broadcasted Soccer. His voice is synonymous with drama. He can be listened to in the video above. The match he is narrating is between the
Tampa Bay Rowdies and Miami Toros of the NASL in 1975.

In August the Seattle Sounders are firmly entrenched in three tournaments, and none will be easy. The schedule isn't just rough. It is downright brutal. Within League play the opportunity for points will be rare. While in the CONCACAF Champions League there will either be one more match (against San Fransisco FC of Panama on Wednesday night, tickets still available) or after that knockout match the Group Stage will start and Seattle will have to face Monterrey again.

Honestly not sure what to say about this one. I guess you need to give Sigi Schmid some credit for trying a pretty drastic lineup change. Mike Fucito got the start alongside Fredy Montero at forward, Zach Scott was given a rare opportunity at right back and the midfield featured both Mauro Rosales and Erik Friberg.

In the MLS, teams like to maintain an expectation. See LA Galaxy or Red Bull New York and take in the flash and starpower — watch the Colorado Rapids and you'll witness tough, no nonsense soccer. Most clubs have a brand, a style — something you can count on seeing night in and night out.

Heading into the 2011 MLS season, prognosticators, supporters and casual fans had no idea what to expect from FC Dallas and the Chicago Fire.

Jonathan Liew of the Telegraph summed this one up before I even had a chance to revisit the scene.

"Grinding out wins in adversity may be the hallmark of champions, but still, this was about as unsatisfying a 2-0 victory as it is possible to imagine. For a team low on morale and down on their luck, it is a start, but Ancelotti will be aware it is no more than that.
