Brian McBride ends his career with a classy backheel

With the MLS regular season coming to an end, the careers of a few legends of the league have also drawn to a close -- most notably, Chicago's Brian McBride and D.C. United's Jaime Moreno.

Fittingly, both players scored in their final matches on Saturday. Moreno put away a penalty for his record 133rd league goal in D.C.'s 3-2 loss to Toronto, while McBride scored with a pretty little backheel set up by Freddie Ljungberg in Chicago's 4-1 win over Chivas USA. Also fitting for a guy who bled his way through an excellent career in MLS, the Premier League and with the U.S. national team, McBride suffered a knock as he scored what was his 80th goal in the league.
