Here are the results from the first weekend of the MLS playoffs:East: MetroStars 0, DC United 2; N.E. Revolution 1, Columbus Crew 0 West: San Jose Earthquakes 2, K.C. Wizards 0; Colorado Rapids 1, L.A. Galaxy 0
Return games are this weekend, with the higher-seeded team getting the home-field advantage this time around. The first three games are on Saturday evening, and the Revs-at-Crew game will be on ESPN2 on Sunday afternoon at 4pm.
Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 2 is also the fourth game-day in the European Champions League. ESPN's game of the week (1:30pm, ESPN2) should be a corker, as undefeated AC Milan visits Barcelona, who've been playing lights-out soccer in the powerful Spanish league. The Italians beat Barca 1-0 at home two weeks ago, but should have a harder time this time around in the Catalan capital. See "Soccer Watch Online" for the full lineup.
