Seattle won over the weekend and still came out of the game with the feeling of loss.

Brian Mullan will miss multiple matches for his reckless challenge on Seattle's Steve Zakuani, but the exact length of his suspension will likely depend on past precedent.

Here is a look at how the Americans Abroad performed over the weekend.

Goals of the Week



Major League Soccer is dropping money to bail players out of European stints gone south, while they are so reluctant to spend big dollars to pay players that have been a success here at home. And it bothers me.


Colorado Rapids 0 – Seattle Sounders 1 (MLS, April 22, 2011)



We were all Eric Cantona on the playground. We'd puff out our chests, take improbable shots and pop our collars, the way he did, standing proud amid whatever maelstrom he'd created around himself. We adored King Eric.


Bike Ride of the Week



Besiktas midfielder Guti has revealed that he has three options for next season - namely Los Angeles, New York or staying in Istanbul with his present employers.


LA Galaxy 3 – Portland Timbers 0 (MLS, April 23, 2011)



Last years MLS MVP suffered a broken ankle over the weekend.


San Jose Earthquakes 1 – Chivas USA 2 (MLS, April 23, 2011)



Aston Villa have revealed club manager Gerard Houllier will not return to the sidelines for the remainder of the 2010/2011 Premier League campaign.


Toronto FC 1 – Columbus Crew 1 (MLS, April 23, 2011)



Two down, two to go. The world is currently preparing itself for the next installment in this fascinating Clasico series, and although the two previous fixtures have lacked goals, there has been enough incident and intrigue to make us crave another encounter between these Spanish institutions.


New England Revolution 3 – Sporting Kansas City 2 (MLS, April 23, 2011)



One thing the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final in Monterrey did not lack was controversy. From whether or not Jamison Olave's handball deserved the awarded penalty kick, to whether Chris Wingert's handball didn't deserve one, there has been plenty to talk about around the water cooler this week.


Vancouver Whitecaps 1 – FC Dallas 2 (MLS, April 23, 2011)



Dimitar Berbatov is out of Manchester United's Champions League semi-final at Schalke with a groin strain. The Bulgarian missed Saturday's Premier League win over Everton and although Sir Alex Ferguson said after the 1-0 victory that he had no fitness concerns ahead of Tuesday's first leg, Berbatov did not check in with the rest of his team-mates at Manchester airport.


Chicago Fire 1 – Houston Dynamo 1 (MLS, April 23, 2011)
