Grew up in Kansas City and went to multiple Wizards games, so I do get some measure of joy in seeing KC play well. That being said, I'm hoping the Dynamo, if no one else, knocks them off come July!

Well I'm sure it's a bummer for you that Houston's season has started so slow. Until this past weekend you guys hadn't played since March 23rd, right?
Maybe it'll be like Sporting's 2011 season: rough road trek followed by dominance in a new home.

Can anyone believe that Barca lost yesterday?!?!?! I have to give the Blues credit for the brute-force defense that kept all of the 24 shots out of the goal, and the amazing work of Cech to keep the few that the defenders missed out of the net.
I sincerely hope their luck runs out at the Camp Nou.

I give chelsea all the credit in the world, but they probably should have lost about 3-1. I do not foresee them holding into their lead at the nou camp. But, stranger things have happened than them maybe squeaking out a 2-1 loss to go through on away goals.........

All I know is the Timbers better bring it this week, this losing at home crap is getting old.
Well... who knows, maybe this'll be a super awesome week that makes up for all the others by ending SKC's winning streak.

Well, it already is heading down that route. Going to be the warmest weekend this year in Portland.

That is my suspicion as well.

I didn't see the game, but of course Chelsea will get hammered away from home. Fair play to them though for scraping and possibly cheating their way to making eventual defeat look respectable.

Well, it's official and no longer rumor: the USMNT and USWNT primaries will feature red and white hoops (suck it, FC Dallas 
) Numbers/Name will go in the blank patches (which would have been left off, at least the back one)
And the new secondaries are the ones they wore in their win against Italy. Very slick.

Not sure if that made it through or not.

I'll pat myself on the back for such an astute observation.
United drop points to Everton meaning that if they lose to City next week City will go top on goal difference.

The cake, just like my prediction for the second leg, is a lie...
I've been reading the gamecast on ESPN here at work. This looks like a game I'll have to watch a replay of tonight.

If Barca let Fernando Torres score then they deserved to lose....
Wow - the gods were smiling on Chelsea today. Pep will take a beating.

Oh snap. I was going to ask if there's an away-goal rule but I guess that doesn't matter
There is indeed the away-goal tiebreaker. BUT HOLY JESUS THAT WAS INSANE. That is all.
