Wednesday was another big day in the UEFA Champions League. AC Milan and Real Madrid had their show down in Milan with Super Pippo notching 2 for Milan and becoming the all time leading scorer for the Champions League.

LL Cool J said "Don't call it a comeback" but in the case of the New York Cosmos it just might fit the bill. The Cosmos came to a life at a time in America when our big 3 sports were on a slide and the NASL got the fan base with Superstars and big money buys, can it duplicate that again in the MLS?
