Woohoo! My favourite MLS team, D.C. United, won the Eastern Conference Final last night, beating the New England Revolution 4-3 on penalty kicks after the game (and what a superb game it was, too) ended 3-3 in extra-time. D.C. United now face the Kansas City Wizards in the MLS Cup Final next Sunday. Go D.C.!
Meanwhile, the Caps' AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, lost 3-0 at home to Manchester last Sunday. They then threw away a 5-1 lead and lost 6-5 in overtime against Springfield on Friday night, before bouncing back to beat Worcester 4-3 in overtime last night! They play the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at home tonight...
Back over this side of the pond, Villa thumped Portsmouth 3-0 at Villa Park to move up to 6th in the Premiership. All three goals came in the first half of the game, and to be honest, Villa could of scored a lot more if they hadn't of eased off in the second half (I hate it when they do that). Villa play Bolton away next Saturday.
