Two of the biggest soccer teams in the PL are two of the bitterest rivals: Manchester City, known as "Man City" and Manchester United, known as "Man United."

Last weekend, one of the most exciting games in the PL took place... and it came down to the final moments. It was a game that would decide who took home the cup.

If Man City won its game against the Queens Park Rangers, Man City would end up with more points than its rival, Man United. In that case, Man City would win its first PL championship in 44 years.

However, a win wouldn’t come easy.

Last night, Toronto FC played LA Galaxy, which has superstar midfielder, David Beckham (#23) on its team.

The Canadian women's soccer team lost its first game 2-1 to Germany in the Women's World Cup in Berlin on Sunday.

But during that game, one player in particular showed what she was made of--courage, skill and determination.
