Think it's time to go on high-alert for Carly Cole bumpwatch? She's got to be due to pop any day now.

As you can see by this rather stacked manpile, the Real Salt Lake boys are happy. They won the MLS Cup, beating the LA Galaxy 5-4 in a penalty shootout. (Congrats RSL!)
Let’s take a moment to talk about the penalties, shall we? There’s always gotta be someone. The fans know it. The players know it.
Indeed pivotal penalty kick moments create so many emotions: wanting to strangle a player, being left dumbstruck by the epicness of the miss or just weeping silently into your martini glass while you plot moving to a small island without telly/footy somewhere.
Beckham in 2004, Cristiano and JT in the Champions League, Gareth Southgate in ‘96 – just a few of the PKs that we remember being gobsmacked by. Of course, it’s one thing if the keeper stops it; yet another if you blast it off into outerspace.
So, Landon Donovan: you’re in the club now. We’re wondering if after the whole yakking it up to the Beckham book writer thing and then missing a penalty in the finals resulted in a brief moment of eye contact in the dressing room between Becks and Landon. Eye contact that says, “Karma, dude. It’s a beyatch.”
Probably not.
We’d also like to have been a fly on the wall in the Wigan dressing room after they lost 9-1 to Tottenham this weekend. Mercy. It’s like a cricket score.
Kudos to Jermain Defoe who has shaken off his man-whoreness and is looking amazing on the pitch right now.
How was the weekend for you? Did your boys give you the result you were after?
Half of that man-pile is actually made up of Kyle Beckerman’s dreadlocks.
