With New York's 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Thursday, the 10th and final ticket to the postseason was booked, and the Portland Timbers and Chicago Fire were eliminated from playoff contention.

On Sunday, Manchester City fans will experience one of the most exciting points in their club's recent history. Captain Vincent Kompany will lead table-topping and FA Cup-holding City out of the tunnel, onto the ground Bobby Charlton dubbed the Theatre of Dreams. With over 75,000 watching the arch rivals vie for the Premier League's pole position, the scene could represent the apex of a rise that started 13 years ago when City sat at their lowest point in club history.

Brad Guzan finally got a taste of first-team football at Hull City last season, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. From all accounts, his combined three-month loan spell in the Championship went well. But returning to parent club Aston Villa, it's been the same story for the 27-year-old: He's riding the bench. Instead of playing, he continues to play the waiting game.


Hannover 2 – FC Copenhagen 2 (Europa League, October 20, 2011)




Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli speeds off in a bone white Maserati, wearing a glove hat and laughing with a wide, pearly white grin at a joke that would make all others cry. It doesn’t matter where he is – he’s driven everywhere and has the parking fines to prove it. He’s only 21, but he’s already won the treble with Inter, an FA Cup, the Golden Boy award, and an FA Cup Man of the Match nod. None of that matters, though?
