Not that I fully agree with it, but Kompany IS the captain of the holding Premier League championship club. Maybe that's why they picked him.

 

RVP just equalized for ManYoo, but the linesman missed the offsides.

 

The second goal for West Ham was great. Great set up, turn and finish.

I wonder if SAF taking Rooney out was because of how bad his marking was on that goal.

 

Holy shit ... NY Red Bull's Juninho (sp?) gets sent off in stoppage time against Sporting Kansas City. Guy can't hit a shot on goal, but he can toe poke the ball 15 yards off KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen's face before a goal kick.

What a fucking dumb ass.

As an aside, this is how the supporters entered the stadium:
