ESPN2 MLS PRIMETIME THURSDAY
FC Dallas 2, Chicago 1Toyota Park A potent midfield consisting of Pablo Ricchetti, Dax McCarty, and Juan Carlos Toja propelled the Hoops to a 2-1 TKO of the home-team Chicago Fire. FC Dallas 2-game away win streak continued Chicago’s now 3 game losing streak. Kenny Cooper, at the beginning season, was pegged as being very overrated. I still agree, but every time he scores, Dallas wins for the most part. That makes him somewhat invaluable. Dario Sala had yet another good performance and has been a big reason of Dallas’ resurgence. A 4-3-1 record is now tops in the West.
Because I Think's MVP: Juan Carlos Toja, this guy has been remarkable for Dallas this year. Their glue. If he stays healthy all season and a defensive addition is made, this team could be setting themselves up for a chance to mess up yet again in the playoffs.
FCD: K. Cooper (4), J. Toja (2)
CHI: C. Carr (1)
Roma wins the Coppa Italia with a 2-1 loss in a second leg (7-4 aggregate win) to Inter Milan. Francesco Totti deserves this as he has had one hell of a year. Simone Perrotta’s goal after going down 2-0 helped give AS Roma their first Coppa Italia title in 16 years.
After such a successful individual season, Eurosport.com is reporting that Didier Drogba might be looking for a ‘new challenge’. Success in France, success in England, but what next? A Champions league title? I think your best bet is to stick at Stamford Bridge because that’s a fair assumption for European football. Maybe instead of scoring only 32 goals, you should be a man and score 40! (joke)
