FC Porto 5 – Villarreal 1 (Europa League semi-final first leg, April 28, 2011)



It's the Brutal Side of Soccer: It's so easy in soccer to get injured - with the non-stop running, tackles and battles for the ball. More than many sports, close-to-total health is also required to perform well in soccer. Players can't really limp around, Kirk-Gibson style, just to hit a freekick; a counterattack could start immediately the other way.

On Wednesday evening in West London, Clint Dempsey became Fulham's top scorer in the Premier League era, scoring in each half against Bolton to first match and then surpass the benchmark of 32 set by fellow American Brian McBride and Steed Malbranque. It was somehow fitting that he should reach this milestone -- and in some style -- while all eyes were elsewhere, on the trumpeted and tempestuous Champions League meeting between Real Madrid and Barcelona. His quality seems forever caught in soccer's peripheral vision.

Now Real Salt Lake fans know what it feels like: that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach when your beloved team has moved mountains to reach the brink of history, only to falter at the last step, with glory so tantalizingly close. Salt Lake was there on Wednesday, one final, manageable summit push from reaching the pinnacle of club soccer on the continent: the CONCACAF Champions League title.


Penarol 1 – Internacional 1 (Copa Libertadores, April 28, 2011)



It’s the sort of collision you see half a dozen times in a weekend. Terek midfielder Levan Gvazava picked up the ball on the halfway line and pumped a high, hopeful pass into the area. Rostov goalkeeper Dejan Radic sprinted off his line and claimed the ball easily, catching it high above his head. At the apex of his jump, though, Terek’s Zaur Sadaev ran into him, knocking Radic off balance and onto the ground.


Who knew Johnnie McEnroe could play soccer?
