1. Deuce Gonna Deuce.
Clint Dempsey's only scored four goals in 18 career playoff games, has never had an iconic postseason moment, and doesn't have the wheels to play on the wing anymore. Last weekend, Clint Dempsey showed us all what he thought about that.

2. It's Movember.
Let's just consider this a challenge to Sacha Kljestan of the New York Red Bulls, owner of the finest lip rug in MLS. Want to keep NY Red? Gotta go through Bill the Butcher...

Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles walked sheep and lived in a barn to make it in his soccer career. And here he is on the cusp of a potential Goalkeeper of the Year award and a potential MLS Cup final played at home.

24. MLS Bosom Buddies.
If D.C. United are going to have any chance to emerge from their Eastern Conference series against the Red Bulls, central defenders Bobby Boswell and Steve Birnbaum are going to have to be airtight at Red Bull Arena. Good thing they know each other inside out.

25. Modern Family in Frisco
Oscar Pareja has become more than just a coach for his young players in FC Dallas, and is no surprise they call him “Papi” in reference to the paternal figure he represents to them. And just like a father he defends his children even on the toughest moment. Last Sunday he wasn’t happy with the foul that lead to the stunning Clint Dempsey’s free kick that gave Seattle Sounders a 2-1 win over Dallas in the 86th minute, and he let the referee and the world know calling the decision “Incorrect”.

26. Learn from your mentor.
The Vancouver Whitecaps have struggled to score goals specially in the second half of the year, and after a goalless draw at Portland last week, they need to get the job done at home this Sunday. A good way to end their goal drought might be to look into Carl Robinson’s light green and vampire-looking eyes, and attempt what he did back at the beginning of his career in Wolverhampton.

27. Rolinga is cool.
What? You don’t know what Rolinga is? Let Columbus Crew SC playmaker Federico Higuain, who’ll be keen to hit his own high notes against Montreal on Sunday, explain why it’s near and dear to his heart
