Week 17 of MLS action held some remarkable moments. Amidst the slate of games we saw a Dax McCarty
and Dwayne De Rosario showdown in New York. A strange goal from a David Beckham PK gave LA the win
and we saw one of the greatest soccer rivalries in North America on national television. All in
all, a fun weekend of MLS play.

A nearly full weekend schedule of games waits us as MLS goes into week 17′s weekend portion.
All but two clubs (New England and Columbus) are in action this weekend. Not sure how those two got
the weekend off here.
The second half of the season is shaping up here as we move into the weekend portion of week 17.
Last night's four games gave us plenty to go off of as New York finally woke up offensively,
Colorado looked decent early but surrendered points late to KC, Chivas found a way to get by San
Jose and then there was Jeff Cunningham tying the all-time scoring mark with his last minute goal
against the Whitecaps.
