Tuesday's Column: MLS Winners & Losers (& More)
Lists are "in" these days in online journalism circles. So here's mine.
Who did I miss?
The MLS season is over, but soccer never ends.
Today's televised Champions League games:
*11:30 a.m. ESPN Villarreal-Manchester United
22 p.m. ESPn Classic Bate Borisov-Real Madrid at 5pm on ESPN Classic
Lastly, the NCAA Tournament resumes tonight.
I have it on good authority that Sigi Schmid, coach of the MLS Champion Columbus Crew, will be at the Cal Poly-UC Irvine game. Both his sons are involved (one playing, one coaching) with the Anteaters' program.

Can't disagree with a lot, but maybe the Galaxy's Sean Franklin deserves some recognition, too, for his outstanding rookie season.
Sigi to Seattle?
Nick replies: Wouldn't surprise me.
