Loved the Dynamo/FCD promos. The game lived up to the hype too.

All in all I found MLS Rivalry week to be a success. Though I'm curious to know how the "red-zone" type viewing went in the US.

Not many awesome goals... di Vaio being the classiest one I suppose

Liked Di Vaio's goal but had to give it to Eddie Johnson. Watching that game live that goal really changed the tempo. Seattle was having a tough time figuring Portland out. The steal/run/cross by Zakuani was fantastic. Calm finish by EJ, even if he didn't know if he was going to cut in front or go behind the defender.

My power ranking

1. Montreal
-9 pts in 3 games. Nuff said

2. Vancouver
-Reo Coker may be the signing of the season. And Mattocks haven't even started scoring yet

3. Los Angeles
-Needs to start putting away poor sides like Chivas USA when a man up.

4. Seattle
-One eye on CCL, league form is starting to suffer. Hoping Martins will click immediately.

5. Real Salt Lake
-Needs to find consistency again and some other striker to start scoring other than Saborio, or else they will slip down the ranking.

6. Houston
-Getting destroyed on set piece, a Dynamo specialty, makes Kinnear angry.

7. Sporting Kansas City
-Losing 3 key players and waiting for their replacement to jell properly is taking more time than expect.

8. Dallas
-Topsy turvy. One week, lets Chivas USA win, then the next, puts 3 past MLS Cup finalists

9. San Jose
-Yallop has no plan B when Lenhart, Gordon are injured and Wondo is not scoring.

10. Philadelphia
-Former Man U man Kleberson to Philly in exchange for Adu? Intriguing...

11. Columbus
-Higuain is probably the best playmaker in the league. But Columbus has no one else who can step up if Higuain gets injured or loses form.

12. Chivas USA
-I don't know how he does it, but Chelis has Chivas USA playing motivated and getting results.

13. DC United
-Someone better start scoring, or things will start to go down to shits in DC.

14. New England
-Nobody is noticing New England right now, which is just exactly what Heaps want.

15. New York
-Henry is going to lose his shit soon, if NY doesn't start playing as a team.

16. Toronto
-Can't rely on other teams to keep making mistakes in order to get goals.

17. Portland
-When will Portland start playing defence?

18. Chicago
-Something has gone really wrong in Chicago, supposedly an Eastern Conference contender

19. Colorado
-Matt Pickens out for 3 months is not what Colorado needs right now

Week 3 results

Sun 17 Mar
DAL 3-2 HOU
-Seems match of the week as Kenny Cooper controversially scores the winning goal.



Interesting, so Kinnear whines about the game, and Cooper's winning goal where he controlled the ball with his arm: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/03/17/houston-dynamos-dominic-kinnear-calls-out-fc-dallas-after-derby-loss-sometim

What Kinnear failed to mention, is that another goal that Dallas scored in the 40th minute, yet was waved off due to offside, wasn't even close to offside & should have counted.

Still, that game was hard to watch. Two players I'd never have gotten rid of (Attakora and Cronin) absolutely dominating their respective positions. Attakora looked like he's put on 40 pounds of muscle since 2010. He had six interceptions and twelve clearances.

Ouch. Sometimes, it's like it never ends.

The stadium was empty... How is this team surviving financially?! Section 8 supporters also sounded equally as bad as the team played... Sounded like monotone mules with stupid Chants that had nothing to do with the play of the game when your team is down 4-1

Agudelo and Mattocks were the best strikes IMHO.

I dunno, that Rafael strike was swerving away. He hit it with the outside of his foot, it wasn't just that Gruenebaum was slow to get back (again, after Kobayashi's goal the other week).
