Saturday

The Game of the Week already happened.


Portland @ Montreal 3pm - Montreal can't get its act together & Portland on the road is actually pretty good. 2-1 win for the guys in green.

Chicago @ DCU 4pm - DCU is a mess but Chicago away from home isn't much better. 1-1 draw

RSL @ Seattle 5pm - When it comes to PPG, 20th meets 21st in the league. Both teams desperately need a win. Seattle hasn't hit bottom yet. Might do so after this game. 2-1 for RSL

Houston @ Atlanta 7pm - Houston looked really good until people figured out that Cubo Torres can't shoot from open play. Dynamo's best attacker is out. Atlanta should take this one. 4-1 for the home side.

Colorado @ Philly 7pm - Going to hear that Doop song quite a bit tonight. Union looking good against cruddy sides. Rapids are especially cruddy. 4-0 for Philly

SKC @ Vancouver 7pm - TSN1 - The difference between a conference winner and a lower level playoff team is the ability to get points away while maximising home points. That's SKC this season. 2-2 draw

SJE @ Dallas 8pm - As much as I'd like Dallas to drop points in the shield race, SJE just isn't all that good. 3-1 for FCD.


Sunday


Columbus @ NER 2:30pm - Our next two league opponents. Lots of endeavour. Lots of offence. Defence, not so much. 3-3 draw

LAG @ Minnesota 5pm - Two teams thinking they are turning things around. LAG looks more real to me. 2-1 win for the away team

NYCFC @ Orlando 7pm - Always a fun game to watch, this is the 3rd game between these two already. I'm thinking NYCFC guts out a win here as they have the more stable midfield. 2-1 win for the Pigeons.

Sure would be nice to see an upset here.
Toronto's position atop the table just doesn't feel legitimate so long as Dallas continues their great run with games in hand.

Ben Olsen climbing the rankings in the MLS Sack Race. DCU is really bad.

Big blows to Sporting and Dallas this week. We're looking good so far.

Orlando v NYCFC. I'll be settling in for that one at 7pm! A draw would be nice. With Dallas and Columbus both losing the damage would be mitigated with us dropping points!

If you want to talk about the attempted distraction from behind the Orlando goal before the PK, that's going to get NSFW really quickly. :)

This was nice by Schweinsteiger:

Too bad that Nikolic flubbed the easy shot at the end. (Nikolic, who is normally very reliable, really sucked throughout that game.)

Nikolic is the homeless man's Pippo Inzaghi. Seemingly lives offside and only shows up once a game to bundle the ball in. Apart from that he's he's impressively - I think maybe even intentionally - useless.

Didn't see him once in the highlights but I wish him luck.
