------------------ "Sing when you're winning" - RSL = 40pts
After having to swallow a 5-0 debacle in New York, one thing was clear - any team other than Toronto FC had to make the playoffs tonight. There was that brief moment where it was still possible that the Reds, that unbalanced, built-on-the cheap by Mo Johnston squad could still make the playoffs despite the club's horrifying display and completely mediocre season.

When I wrote a month or so ago before the El Salvador qualifier lamenting the tight spot the US had gotten itself into in the Hex, I mentioned the possibility that the US could simply prove its regional superiority by winning its next three or four matches and erasing all doubts about the trip to South Africa, without a pressure packed final showdown in Washington, DC.

The City of Baltimore has shown interest in a stadium for United. At this point I know United would like to keep the team close to downtown Washington, but at this point the need of a stadium outweighs any other options. The fact that United has had many failed attempts for a stadium, I don't think anyone will be holding their breathe on this one.

It's been an eventful year for the Seattle Sounders who are the newest team added to the MLS this season. They came on strong early on and made a name for themselves. Being sponsored by XBOX help increase their popularity as well. But now they can add U.S. Open Cup winners to their rap sheet.

Congrats to the Seattle Sounders, who won a wild US Open Cup final, 2-1 over DC United last night. Seattle could still conceivably become the first US side to win the treble (MLS Cup, Supporters Shield, US Open Cup), but they're six points back in the race for the league's best regular-season record with six to play, so the third leg might have to wait.
