: MLS: New England Revolution at D.C. United

What a crazy game! Poor New England: they just can’t get it together. Six games and six loses! And they face mighty Chicago on Saturday. Abdul Thompson Conteh sure loves the Revs: he’s scored all his goals against them. Six in two games! Here he had a first half hat trick: then added a forth in second half. A complete rout. New England’s defense is just non-existent. Ironically, in another game played at the same time, L.A.-Tampa Bay, Mamadou Diallo also scored four goals (that game ended 4-4, though I didn’t see it). Why in the world did San Jose get rid of Conteh? Final: 5-0 D.C.

: Champions League: Real Madrid at Bayern Munich

After their win in Madrid, Munich was sitting pretty. Then Elber scored on a header eight minutes in to really put them ahead. Madrid came back on a Figo shot in the 18th minute, but when Jeremies’ grounder went in fifteen minutes later, it was all over. Bayern wins on a 3-1 aggregate goal difference. Final: 2-1 Munich.
