  • Jermaine Jones scored in Schalke's 1-1 Champions League draw with Galatasaray. The tally made him the only American to score in this season's CL, which seems hard to believe, and the second American to score in the CL knockout round.

  • Every touch by Joe Corona and Edgar Castillo in Club Tijuana's historic victory? Sure. (h/t)

  • Alexi Lalas on the Colbert Report? Sure, why not?
