Rapids clinch MLS playoff berth

MLS: Chicago 3, Columbus 3 I like the opening sentence: The Columbus Crew tied the record for the longest unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer history Saturday in a 3-3 tie with the Chicago Fire.

Crew tie Fire 3-3 to remain unbeaten I think I like the opening sentence of this article better than the previous one: The Columbus Crew extended their unbeaten streak to a league-record 15 games with a 3-3 tie against the Chicago Fire on Saturday night.

MLS: New England 2, Dallas 0


Adu's lessons kick in
I finally found an article that does not sing the praises of Adu! A year older and certainly wiser, D.C. United's Freddy Adu realizes his first pro season could have been better. Even better: MLS overhyped Adu, promoting a player like it never had before. Then again, this one is pretty good, too: Called the league's savior, Adu hasn't lived up to expectations, at least not yet, although he made a major impact on attendance. Yea! I'm not the only one who thinks that is true!
