Wednesday’s goal made me think of another “Hand of God” [...]

By: Laurie | Comments 5 Comments

Anybody catch the games this weekend?
I wasn’t that impressed by LA’s extra time win over Houston, but RSL’s win over Chicago on penalties was hugely entertaining. (Part of it was that I hate Blanco, and RSL made him run for 120 minutes. It was not pretty at the end. Heehee. [...]
