Two terrific semi-finals tonight in the Open Cup. D.C. lost to a surprising New England, who played very well, with two great goals by Andy Williams. D.C. had two players sent off. The first was harsh, but the second deserved. For both teams, the Open Cup is their season (though NE has a slight chance of reaching the playoffs). The second game was a repeat of last year’s L.A./Chicago clash, when Josh Wolff got a late game winner, and this year’s game was very similar. The two teams played hard and well, but neither could break the deadlock. In extratime, it was substitute Alexi Lalas who scored the winner for L.A., scoring with his head off a corner kick. Revenge is sweet! So the final will be on Oct. 27 between the L.A. Galaxy and the N.E. Revolution. Should be good.

Strange convoluted mismash about idiot kidnappers who steal a pregnant girl who’s having a baby for hire. Distasteful. I don’t care about any of these people, let alone their miserable lives. Worthless.
