After a slow start for both squads, the first major incident became an injury to RSL midfielder Javier Morales. Unable to continue, an emotional Morales was subbed out in the 22nd minute.

In the 41st minute, the Galaxy struck first, as 2009 MLS MVP Landon Donovan crossed a ball to Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee at the far post, who kicked it in. RSL created a few scoring chances prior to the half, but were unable to capitalize. At half time, the Galaxy led 1-0.

In the 64th mnute, RSL evened the score. Inside the penalty area, Movsisyan shot a ball toward goal that was immediately blocked. Bouncing around, the ball finally found Findley, who put it home with his left foot. On the play, Ricketts seemed to injure his hand that was already in pain after a collision he had earlier in the half with RSL forward Robbie Findley. Galaxy coach Bruce Arena was ultimately forced to pull Ricketts for backup goalkeeper Josh Saunders. It marked the first time a goalkeeper was substituted in MLS Cup history.

With neither team able to score in the rest of the second half and overtime, RSL and the Galaxy had to take play into a penalty shoot out to crown a champion.

In the first three rounds of the penalty shoot out, both teams matched each other with goals in the first two and saves in the third. In round four, Donovan kicked the ball over the crossbar and Ned Grabavoy knocked one in to give RSL their first lead, 3-2. In round five, Magee would tie it 3-3 for the Galaxy and Andy Williams was stopped by Saunders, keeping it tied. Both teams scored again on their respective kicks in round six to make it 4-4. Finally, in round seven, Rimando came up with a save on an Edsun Buddle kick and Robbie Russell stepped up and hit home a ball into the left corner, giving RSL the win.

For his performance in the penalty shootout, Rimando was named the MLS Cup MVP.

Twitterers recognized the fact that Real Salt Lake was a sub-.500 team (11-12-7) during the regular season:

In the 33rd minute, Irish striker Robbie Keane scored first, pushing the Irish into an aggregate tie with France (1-1). Still tied after a full 90 minutes, both squads were forced to play extra time. France finally broke the tie with a goal in the 104th minute, but it wouldn’t pass without controversy. On the play that led to the goal, Florent Malouda connected  on free kick with captain Thierry Henry, who was offside. Henry then clearly handed the ball twice before controlling it and crossing into William Gallas, who awkwardly headed it in the goal. Immediately Ireland looked for a call from the head referee and side judges, but their search was to no avail. Gallas’ goal ultimately stood, sending France to South Africa and sending Ireland back home.

Still angry over the play, the Football Association of Ireland filed a grievance Thursday with FIFA, asking them for a replay of the match.

Other than France, five other teams qualified for the World Cup Wednesday. Algeria, Greece, Portugal, Slovenia and Uruguay also cemented their places in the 32 team World Cup field.

Twitterers in Ireland and around the world were displeased with Henry and the referees in Wednesday’s match:

United had their chances with Wayne Rooney coming close on shots in the 67th and 68th minute, but Chelsea captain John Terry headed home the game’s only goal off a Frank Lampard free-kick in the 76th minute. Angered, United expressed a grievance with head referee Martin Atkinson, as Chelsea striker Didier Drogba appeared to be offsides on the play. However, the complaining was to no avail, as the goal would stand and Rooney was given one of the games many yellow cards. 

Prior to the match, Chelsea held a two point lead over Manchester United and Arsenal, with the Gunners moving into second place after a 4-1 victory over Wolverhampton on Saturday. With the victory, the Blues extended their lead over the Gunners and the Red Devils to five points.

United striker Dimitar Berbatov even stated after Sunday’s match that he thought the Red Devils and the Blues will ultimately be the only two vying for the Premier League title. 

After the win, Twitterers expressed their happiness with Mr. Terry:

Now, after a tie, paired with Fiorentina’s victory over Debrecen, Liverpool remains in third place in Group E, 6 points behind Lyon and 5 behind Fiorentina.

If a win wasn’t necessary before, it certainly is now, as a loss will immediately eliminate Liverpool from further contention. However, a Liverpool victory over Debrecen on Nov. 24th will not necessarily decide their fate. Their fate also depends on the result of Fiorentina v. Lyon on the same day. With a victory of their own, Liverpool will also need a Lyon win, moving the Reds within 2 points of Fiorentina with their final match of group play coming against the Italian club.

Immediately after Wednesday’s match, Red’s defender Jamie Carragher said the team still believes that they will get through to the knockout stages. Nevertheless, Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez later mentioned that the Red’s would need a miracle. Also speaking on Liverpool’s possible elimation, Liverpool Goalkeeper Pepe Reina said an early exit would not be a disaster, especially in terms of the team’s rich Champion League history.

Liverpool’s injuries aren’t helping the situation either, as captain Steven Gerrard and striker Fernando Torres might need surgery to fix groin problems.

Before their Champion League match against Debrecen, Liverpool is scheduled to play Birmingham and Manchester City in two separate Premier League matches on Monday Nov. 9 and Saturday Nov. 21, respectively.

Many Twitters have expressed their sympathy for the Red’s:

Johnson and Aurelio are not the only Red’s hurt, however. Other players previously confirmed as out for Wednesday’s match due to injury are captain Steven Gerrard, midfielder Albert Riera, and defenders Martin Kelly and Martin Srktel.

Even though he is expected to play, another  injury concern for Liverpool is striker Fernando Torres, who was pulled by manager Rafael Benitez during Sunday’s Premier League match at Fulham with the score tied, 1-1.  After losing 3-1, Benetiz received criticism for subbing the Premier League’s top scorer, but insisted that there was no other choice.

Wednesday’s match is crucial for Liverpool, as they currently sit in third place in Group E of the Champions League. A win would be necessary in order for them to keep their chances of making the knockout stages alive.

Some Twitterers were upset with the news of Liverpool’s injuries:

Davies was listed in serious but stable condition Tuesday after suffering a broken right leg and left elbow, and other internal injuries in the single-car accident. The accident killed 22-year-old Ashley Roberta and a third passenger was not identified.

Tweeters around the globe rallied behind the striker to wish him a speedy recovery and expressed sympathy with the family of Roberta:

On Sunday, Manchester United narrowly defeated crosstown rival Manchester City, 4 -3, in an instant classic at the Old Trafford, with the winning goal coming off the foot of Michael Owen and coming in the final minute of stoppage time.

Having matched Manchester United with three goals, scoring their third just a few minutes prior to Owens’ goal, it seemed that Manchester City would walk away with a tie and add at least 1 point to their Premier League point total.

Nevertheless, Michael Owen would enter the game in the 78th minute, scoring the Red Devil’s fourth and final go-ahead goal less than 20 minutes later, taking away Manchester City’s point and giving his team 3.

With the win, Manchester United now holds sole possession of second place in the Barclay’s Premier League standings with 15 points, 3 points behind undefeated Chelsea. On the other hand, Manchester City moves into a tie for third place with 12 points.

Many Twitterers in Manchester and around the world were pleased with Owen after he scored the winning goal:

In the FIFA Confederations Cup final in Johannesburg, the United States did their best to keep up the recent momentum of defeating top-ranked Spain in the semifinals. Taking a 2-0 lead into the locker room at the intermission after goals by Clint Dempsey (’10) and Landon Donovan (’27), it seemed the Americans were on the move.

In the second half, however, the dream of victory started to defer behind the two goals of Luis Fabiano (’46 and ‘74) and the late strike of Lucio (’84) to put Brazil up for good. Per FIFA.com, Brazil demonstrated why this 3-2 Confederations Cup championship victory makes them a team to watch for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa next summer.

American goalkeeper Tim Howard did all he could against the 31 shots Brazil kicked his way, but eventually the 254-minute scoreless streak of the Americans had to come to an end — along with the potential miracle of upsetting the Brazilians.

Ok, so what did the U.S. men’s soccer team need to do to avoid elimination?

1.  Defeat Egypt by three goals.

2. Hope Italy loses by three goals to Brazil.

Check and check.

Improbably, the U.S. men’s soccer team found net on multiple occasions in a 3-0 victory over Egypt, while nearly simultaneously, the 4th ranked and defending World Cup champion Italian team was shutout three-nil on first-half goals by Brazil.

The U.S. goal differential was enough to squeeze past three-way tiebreakers and into a “rewarding” matchup with No. 1 Spain in the semifinal, per ESPN soccernet.
