Ricardo Carvalho is big time for Chelsea

Within 29 minutes at Old Trafford, Saha was able to open the scoring with a left footer into the left bottom of the net. For the next 40 minutes, these two powerhouses would continue to finght hard and accumulate a total of four yellow cards in the game mainly issues of unsportsmanlike. It's because these two teams are so good that players vex (unintendedly) one another.

Luckily for Chelsea, quiet Carvalho came back in the 69 minute with a header goal to tie it up. If it wasn't for Carvalho, Man U. would proably have a 6 pt. lead on Chelsea in the standings. If Chelsea want to get back to their usual place in the standings their going to need to have a long winning streak until they once again meet Man U.

Man U Off To A Fast Start

This season in the premiership, Manchester United have gotten off to a fabulous start. With Chelsea in second, trailing by 3 points, it will only take one mistake for Manchester United to be back in the dust of last year's Premiership champions. Slowly creeping up is a very moderate season for Man U (except for this Sunday, of course!).


With Rooney and Saha leading the premiership with the most goals, 7 and 5 respectively, these two have two very reputable soccer careers. Pay close attention too these two suprestars because they will be difference makers in games to come especially this Sunday against Chelsea. The time where either team can move up or down the standings.

2006 MLS Cup

Today, the New England Revolution played the Houston Dynamo for the 2006 MLS Cup. This was the Revolution's third trip to the cup and the past two times, they had lost. Today, was a completely different day for the Revolution.

The first and second halves were quite dull with very few optimal scoring chances on each side. As the whistle had blown to signal the end of regulation, the score ws tied 0-0. The game would go into overtime and once again, the first half of overtime was dull.

Within 10 minutes of the second overtime, Twellman was able to put the ball in the back of the net from the left to right side. Twellman thought he had just scored the game winner, but literally 20 seconds, the Dynamo's Ching scored a header.

The game woulld end with the Dynamo winning in Pk's, 4-3. The man of the match was un arguably Brian Ching finishing the day with one overtime goal as well as one PK. An ok game on both sides, but tonight, only one team would leave Pizza Hut Park happy; the Houston Dynamo.
