RSL @ Vancovuer 10:30pm
Sweatervest derby!!!! Petke vs. Robinson Defence vs running around a lot trying to figure it out Vancouver is the better team and should win this one but neither team is all that convincing.
2-1 for Vancouver
Why watch this game? Hey, gotta do something before Dunfermline vs. Dumbarton on Saturday
Saturday
Montreal @ Atlanta 1pm
This is a game crying out for Edwards - Atlanta can be had out on the wings. Gare though seems to prefer his attack centrally. Montreal's defence won't be able to handle Atlanta. Could get ugly.
4-1 for Atlanta
Why watch this game? Keep an eye on how Atlanta's defence deals with Piatti. The blueprint they use is what they will use against Seba
DCU @ Philly 3:30pm
DCU somehow managed to survive to grab a win against Columbus. The Union is falling down towards another awful season. There is enough attack with Philly that they could turn it around against a less then steller defence.
3-1 home win
Why watch the highlights of this game later? We play Philly in a week.
San Jose @ Columbus 7:30pm
The two teams all the hipsters said were dark horses to do well - they have not. Columbus had a great start but SJE has been horrible in defence. Columbus biggest issue seems to be replacing the work rate of Justin Meram, with Higuain looking old and slow in the middle. SJE hasn't figured out how to use an aging Wondo. The offences are good for both teams but the home team will prevail. (If you are #savethecrew, don't count the seats.)
3-2 for Columbus
Why watch this game? Keep an eye on Columbus - they will turn it around and will be a force to deal with in the playoffs
SKC @ NER 7:30pm
SKC has been consistent and dangerous and is getting results. NER has bought into Friedl's system but have more holes in their defence then SKC. NER doesn't lose at home but might this week.
2-2 draw
Why watch this game? We get to play on that carpet in two weeks.
Houston @ Minnesota 8pm
Two teams that have struggled on defence and who's offences havn't quite clicked. Houston is the better team offensively (ignore last week of course) and might keep momentum going from last week's destruction of our C team.
3-2 Houston win
Why watch this game? There will be some acrobatic goals scored here and some shoddy defences - oh, but don't do the drinking game for Heath histrionics alone.
NYRB @ LAG 10:30pm
NYRB's frantic pace meets LAG's inability to figure out how to put all their pieces together. The away team is way more disciplined but that wide field isn't going to help them with their press. The Z factor might give LAG a win here but he's not an automatic 3 points by any means.
2-1 LAG win
Why watch this game? Zlatan vs. Bradley Wright Phillips
Sunday
Orlando @ Colorado 4pm
The cardiac kids meet the dour boys. Orlando might be figuring it out - or they just might be going on a run against teams not in form. Away & at altitude is a serious test of their speed game but the Rapids just are not all that good.
2-1 win for Orlando
Why watch this game? We play Orlando next month
FCDallas @ NYCFC 6:30pm
GAME OF THE WEEK
NYC has been consistent and good and pretty much unbeatable - then they ran into a chain saw out in Portland. FCD has been inconsistent, not all that good and pretty much a beatable team in every game - they haven't lost yet.
3 -3 draw
Why watch this game? Two teams with smoke and mirrors defences and offences that suddenly wake up and score great goals.
Seattle @ LAFC 9pm
SO much emotions for the first ever home game in what should be an intimidating all black stadium. LA is the better team - better coached, better attack. Only issue for LA is they can be had by a team deciding to sit somebody in behind their forwards. Will Schmetzer do that though. Seattle's defence won't be able to handle LAFC's offence.
4-1 for LAFC
Why watch this game? That new stadium is supposed to be something special.
