This weekend was a major sports weekend with both the Major League Soccer and NASCAR finals taking place in Toronto and Florida, respectively. Here is the rundown of what you missed:
Major League Soccer 2010 Championships - The MLS Cup:
The Colorado Rapids took on FC Dallas in Toronto, an exciting new location for the MLS finals. The teams were tied going into the second overtime, but a Rapids substitute Macoumba Kandji got the ball, drove inside, beat a Dallas defender and took a shot . . . the ball subsequently deflected off of a Dallas defender's, George John's, thigh and over the head of his own goalkeeper! John was charged with an "own goal," meaning he scored on his own team! Tough way to lose, but definitely part of the game . . . This was Dallas' first time playing for the Cup and Colorado's first MLS championship title.
NASCAR 2010 Sprint Cup:
Jimmie Johnson won his fifth consecutive title, after heading into the race in second place. Johnson just made fewer mistakes than his competitors and it looks like he can't be stopped. Are we impressed with Johnson's milestones or are we longing for someone else to take win? Please, someone step up to the plate to break the boredom of Johnson's streak.
