The 93rd US Open Cup Final:
Chicago 3-1 Los Angeles - Nate Jaqua scored early for Chicago in a goal mouth scramble, then Andy Herron doubled the lead on a great header to the far post off a Justin Mappinho cross, letting Chicago roll thru the first half. But LA came out smokin in the second half and Alan Gordon headed the score in half. Very late in the game with LA desperately looking for another goal, Tony Sanneh stormed down the left wing and fed Thiago a perfect centering pass for the Cup sealing goal for Chicago! Both teams played their asses off and tackled as hard as they could. A really fun and action packed game for sure. This is Chicago's 4th US Open Cup title! And the team has only been around 9 years! Not bad at all.

UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 results:
Wednesday scores-
-Levski 1-3 Chelsea - A triple banger for Drogba lead Chelsea. Maryan Ognyanov got the consolation prize for Levski just before the final bell.
-Bremen 1-1 Barcelona - An own goal by Barca's Puyol gave Bremen the dream scoreline until Messi tied it in the last minutes of play.
-Spartak Moskva 1-1 Sporting - Denis Boyarintsev scored very early for Spartak, but Nani equalized for Sporting at the hour mark.
-Internazionale 0-2 Bayern Munich - Claudio Pizarro & Lukas Podolski got huge late road goals in defeating one of the pre-tournament favorites on their own turf. Inter had both Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Fabio Grosso sent off for 2 yellow cards. Idiots.
-Liverpool 3-2 Galatasaray - Two for Dieter Crouch and one for Luis Garthia gave Liverpool the home win over the Turks, who got both their goals from Umit Karan to make it closer than it should have been.
-Bordeaux 0-1 PSV - Mika Vayrynen got the huge road goal for PSV.
-Shakhtar 2-2 Olympiacos - Michalis Konstantinou & Nery Alberto Castillo both scored go ahead goals for the road team, but Shaktar got tying goals from Matuzalem & Ciprian Marica. Oly keeper Antonios Nikopolidis kept the visitors from getting blown out and then they actually stole a point.
-Valencia 2-1 Roma - The Bats got goals from Miguel Angel Angulo & David Villa around a Roma PK goal from Totti.
Tuesday scores-
-Real Madrid 5-1 Dynamo Kyiv - Two goals from new papa Ruud Van Nistelrooy, two from Raul, and one more from Jose Antonio Reyes led the slaughter. Artem Milevsky got the only Kyiv goal early in the second half. Honestly up to a point it was not nearly as a bad a beating as the score shows.
-Steaua 0-3 Lyon - Huge road goals from Fred, Tiago and Karim Benzema.
-Benfica 0-1 Manchester United - Louis Saha with a great road goal winner. Benfica played too good to lose.
-Celtic 1-0 Kobenhavn - Kenny Miller scored for Celtic on a PK.
-CSKA Moskva 1-0 Hamburg - another bizarrely named Brazilian Dudu got the games only goal.
-Arsenal 2-0 Porto - Tierry Henry & Alexander Hleb got the goals for the home side.
-AEK 1-1 Anderlecht - Nicolas Frutos scored first for the road team, but AEK answered back almost immediately with a goal by Julio Cesar for the draw.

What "players" on Toronto are unhappy about the turf? Don't they only have Jim Brennan?
I think the turf is no big deal. it works fine in Saprissa, it works fine in Moscow, it'll be fine in Toronto. The public has a right to year round enjoyment of the stadium they helped financed.
Did you see Crouch's second goal, damn impressive. An impressive mid-air volley / bicycle kick with power and accuracy...it is crazy to see him do things like this. There is definitely a little bit of Pele in the Manute Bol frame....
pele in manute bols body is fantastic! thanks jb
