By Nick Barbaro, Fri., Oct. 22, 2004
Major League Soccer playoffs kick off this weekend; the conference semifinals are two-game, home-and-away series, played this weekend and next.
Eastern Conference: D.C. United (2) at NY/NJ MetroStars (3); Sat., 6:30pm
Columbus Crew (1) at New England Revolution (4); Sat., 6:30pm
Western Conference: L.A. Galaxy (2) at Colorado Rapids (3); Fri., 8:30pm
Kansas City Wizards (1) at San Jose Earthquakes (4); Sun., 4pm, ESPN2 ESPN's game of the week should be a good one. The defending champion 'Quakes struggled to grab the last playoff spot on the last game of the season; now they'll try to ride Landon Donovan to an upset over Josh Wolff and a Wizards team that held the league's best record for almost the whole year.
Results from WC Qualifying and Euro Champs League: U.S., Mexico, Guatemala advance; glory for Milan, France; Brit, Roman woe; see "Soccer Watch Online" for details. Nick Barbaro
