Roger Levesque provides the finishing touches and a memorable celebration to the Sounders' 4-2 victory over New York to send a big crowd home happy. Seattle opens the entire upper deck of Qwest Field for the first time for an MLS match, and the attendance of 46,065 is nearly 10,000 greater than any previous MLS home match. Levesque subs after the Red Bulls' tying goal and has an immediate impact, heading in a 67th-minute corner kick. He seals the win at 78' by stealing the ball from New York goalkeeper Greg Sutton, knocking it into an empty net and enacting a scuba dive off the signage board.

Dressed in the kits of their respective sponsoring pros, Washington and Colorado Unified Soccer teams wrap-up the season, with the Rave winning, 2-0. It's a return match after Special Olympics Washington hosted a match three weeks earlier in Seattle. Both games were held in conjunction with Sounders-Rapids matches. In between, a Manchester United squad (represented by youth from Federal Way Schools) played Washington, winning 1-0. The Sounders and Rapids are the first MLS clubs to adopt the initiative, growing the Special Olympics Unified Sports soccer exchange program.

Washington names Lesle Gallimore, women's coach at San Diego State for four seasons, as Huskies' new coach. Gallimore, 30, replaces Dang Pibulvech, who had started the program and guided it to a No. 19 national ranking after three years.

Bernie James and Neil Megson make their U.S. National team debuts in Clasico International opener vs. Chile (1-1) at Stockton, Ca. It is the first competitive outdoor play for either since 1983 and comes five weeks after completing the indoor season with Tacoma. James starts in defensive midfield and is replaced by Megson after 45 minutes. Two days later vs. Chile (1-3) in San Diego, James and Megson start together as center backs.

Kasey Keller stops a penalty kick, opening the door to a 1-0 U.S. National team win over Argentina in Washington, D.C. Keller stutter-steps to his right then goes left to save Gustavo Lopez's penalty attempt in the 42nd minute. He finishes with seven saves. Joe Max-Moore comes off the bench to score the winner in the 88th minute.

Kasey Keller keeps a clean sheet as Leicester City claim their first cup in 33 years, defeating Middlesbrough, 1-0, in extra time of League Cup final replay at Hillsborough.

The two sides initially played to a 1-1 draw at Wembley 10 days earlier, with Leicester's Emile Heskey forcing the replay by scoring in 118th minute.
