Some News for Fri Oct 28, 2011
STARTERS
After 9 league games Levante leads La Liga with 7 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Astonishing!
STORY OF THE DAY

MLS CUP PLAYOFFS
Wild Card Round
Colorado scored in the final seconds of the first half and made that one goal stick in eliminating Columbus.
I think the attendance of these two Wild Card games should be evidence enough that only 8 teams should have been in the playoffs, not 10. Pathetic. No excuses.
