Savages don’t forget this weekend will host both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals. On Sunday all will be determined about which teams will battle it out for the 2007 MLS Cup. DC United will face the New England Revolution (4 pm ET) at RFK Stadium for the Eastern title while the Western title will go to either the Houston Dynamo or the Colorado Rapids (5 pm ET at Robertson Stadium).

In the West, Houston finally did away with Chivas USA, who had jumped out to a 2-1 advantage from the 1st leg. In the 2nd leg at home, Houston took advantage of the expulsion of star-striker Palencia and powered home two goals to win 3-2 on aggregate. In the other match, 4th seed Colorado pulled off the unthinkable as they defeated top seed FC Dallas in PKs. Two Goals from Niko Presley on the road helped Colorado overcome the odds while Maestroane finished off the game-ending spot kick.

On the East Coast, DC United continued their mastery over the Eastern Conference as well as the Red Bulls and defeated Arena’s men 2-1 on aggregate though the second game was level on one goal. Not much separated the teams in the second match between New England Revolution and the Chicago Fire as PKs where need to see the Revolution through to the Conference Final.

Chalk up your Champions Savages! The Finals are just a week away!
