KANSAS CITY, Kan. Bill Lee Jersey . -- Sporting Kansas City overcame an early scare to finally get past its post-season nemesis. After being bounced from the Eastern Conference playoffs by Houston in each of the past two seasons, Sporting fell behind the Dynamo 1-0 in the third minute on Saturday night in the second leg of the Eastern Conference final. But with a first-half equalizer from C.J. Sapong and Dom Dwyers game-winner in the 63rd minute, Sporting advanced to its first MLS Cup Final since 2004 with a 2-1 victory. "We didnt panic," Dwyer said. "We kept on doing what we do, and we got the result we wanted. Were happy right now, but were very much focused on two weeks time. Were going to enjoy it, and its extra motivation to have MLS Cup at home." Kansas City will play host to either Portland or Real Salt Lake on Dec. 7. Sporting and the Dynamo played to a scoreless draw two weeks ago in the first leg of the conference final. Houston, the runner-up in 2011 and 2012, will miss the title game for the first time in three years. "I think as far as this series, we deserved it," Sporting manager Peter Vermes said. "We played smart and I think we showed real maturity. Three years ago I think we were very new to this when we played them in the same situation. We were very new, in everything. I even think our fans were new to it. There was a lot of apprehension that year, but I think this year was very different. I think the players understood the task at hand. Even though they scored early, we never panicked." Houston midfielder Brad Davis acknowledged being disappointed to not make it back to a third straight final, but said it was an accomplishment for the Dynamo to get as far as they did after finishing fourth in the East during the regular season. "Its very difficult. Im unbelievably proud to be a part of this team," Davis said. "I feel like people were counting us out a long time ago and we kept plugging away. Thats what this team does." The Dynamo scored on a goal from Oscar Boniek Garcia, whose shot deflected off centre back Matt Besler after a pass from Davis. Sapong responded in the 14th minute, scoring from short range after Houston defender Bobby Boswell misplayed Graham Zusis through ball. Dwyers decisive goal came after a precise through ball from Benny Feilhaber, with Dwyer finishing low past Dynamo keeper Tally Hall. "That was one of the classier goals youll see," Hall said. "His cut and finish made for one of the better goals Ive seen this year." Rafael Devers Jersey . Interestingly, the culprits were not rookies, but well paid, experienced pros. The first gaffe came in the 24th minute of arguably the biggest early season MLS game in history between Seattle and Toronto. Sounder newcomer Marco Pappa, (with over 100 MLS games, and 39 Guatemalan Caps to his name) attempted a back pass to one of his central defenders. Pedro Martinez Jersey . Or take a relaxing vacation somewhere warm. Brayden Schenn and Scott Hartnell scored, Ray Emery stopped 32 shots and the Flyers beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Saturday for their fourth straight victory. http://www.officialredsoxfanstore.com/customized/ . So true. It is one thing to create a winning football team, and another to keep it winning. Each and every week it changes. The NFL creates a unique interest of not who is "the best", but much more who is "the best this week".Will Greenwood said Englands recent injuries are an unfortunate coincidence, and backed the intensity of Eddie Jones camps. The former England player was on Sky Sports News HQ to discuss the national sides current injury concerns, with Jones under pressure from Premiership clubs after several stars were sidelined following high-intensity training sessions.Wasps Sam Jones broke his right leg and suffered ankle damage during a judo session, with the flanker ruled out for five months, while Bath winger Anthony Watson sustained a broken jaw during a training session last Tuesday. Most recently, Exeter claimed that England told them Jack Nowell only had a minor injury but a subsequent scan revealed a nine-to-10 centimetre tear in his thigh. In the wake of criticism from club bosses, Jones has agreed to a meeting with the 12 Premiership teams to discuss player welfare. Australia coach Michael Cheika defended Eddie Jones training methods following the news of Sam Jones broken leg Will Greenwood says he sympathises with the clubs, but believes the injuries are part of the game, and that Englands recent luckless run is an unfortunate coincidence rather than the fault of the England coaching staff.Ive seen it up close and personal, said the Sky Sports pundit.Theyre not long sessions, theyre not being flogged, theyre not kept out on a field on their feet for hours and hours, but [Jones] wants to replicate Test-match intensity - as close to that as possible - within training camps.Which is exactly what Clive Woodward used to do; make the training so unbelievably hard that when you land on a Saturday... youre accustomed to that heart rate spiking, that physical and mental pressure being applied. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ?￡6.99. No contract. Now, [Jones] has been in charge for a year, there have been some injuries in previous camps, but I think what happens is everything is focused on it when you hhear a broken jaw, a broken leg, a torn quad. Xander Bogaerts Jersey. I believe its an unfortunate coincidence of an accumulation of players being crocked at the same time.Greenwood says communication between the RFU and the Premiership is better today than its ever been, and urged all involved to maintain that relationship in order for England to compete with the All Blacks at the top of world rugby.I think the relationship between the Rugby Football Union and the English clubs, the Premiership, has grown fantastically well over the past four or five years, said Greenwood. Sean Fitzpatrick thinks the current New Zealand team is the best ever Its allowed the club sides to develop with a huge amount of financial support from the governing body, and with that support they buy the right to get access to the players.Which is critical if you have got any chance of keeping up with New Zealand and the southern hemisphere sides. Weve overtaken two or three - were No 2 in the world - but New Zealand are like a club side, they spend so much time together.The positions they play for in their provinces is dictated from up on high, so they have real control over the players. We have a position where players are riding two horses throughout the whole season, theyve got their club colours and theyve got their international colours.So I think its really important that these training sessions do take place, that Eddie Jones gets a little bit more time with the players.The last Test matches these guys played would have been in June, a fantastic tour of Australia where we won three-nil, but the next Test match after that is November the 12th. Its a considerable time to be away from each other.Click on the video to watch the full interview with Will Greenwood on Sky Sports News HQYou can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.
