Villa got back to winning ways against Blackburn on Sunday. They won
2-0 and fully deserved the three points. Their next game is away at Chelsea in the Carling Cup tomorrow night. After that Villa then play Everton away in the league on Saturday afternoon - and I'll be travelling up the M6 to Goodison myself to support them!
Over the other side of the pond my favourite MLS team,
D.C. United, drew
1-1 with the New York Red Bulls in Game 2 of their Conference Semifinal to advance 2-1 on aggregate. Sadly, they lost the Conference Championship
1-0 to New England, so the MLS Cup final will be between New England and Houston Dynamo.
