Today was in stark contrast to the mediocre playoff showings of yesterday, as all teams were playing with a little extra something.  Maybe they were bored out of their minds while watching Columbus&#8217; performance yesterday too.  Regardless, there was a great atmosphere in todays games, especially in anticipation of David Beckham&#8217;s first venture [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two dreadful seasons that have been plagued with injuries, mismanagement, power struggles, coaching changes, confusion, inner turmoil, and a very revealing book highlighting the insurrection of a misguided and torn team have bought David Beckham to a place he has never been before; the MLS Postseason.

This has been a fantastic weekend to hate somebody and wish him ill almost everywhere around the world.
As Daryl pointed out earlier, this weekend&#8217;s fixture calendar was overflowing with big derbies and heated rivalries including three different flavored clasicos, inter-city and intercontinental matches. Time for a quick wrap up.

It&#8217;s exactly one week until MLS kicks off its 14th season. Above is a little look back at the best MLS goals from 2008. Proof that there&#8217;s life in the league beyond Beckham.
