    Default MLS Week 3

    Week 2 results (home team first)

    DC 1-0 RSL
    -scrappy game and RSL defence fell asleep for one moment for Pajoy to score. Also, a lot of United supporters hate Carlos Ruiz, one of their own players. (and for a good reason!)

    CHI 0-1 NE
    -Something is wrong with Chicago, who looked to have turned a corner into an Eastern Conference contender. You know you suck when you give up a road win for New England.

    VAN 2-1 CLB
    -This ended up being the match of the week. Very exciting match. Federico Higuain is scary good.

    POR 1-2 MTL
    -Another good game and another win for Mtl (Mtl for potential winner of Cascadia Cup?). Portland games aren't boring... Ryan Johnson opens his account for Portland

    COL 1-2 PHI
    -Game that lacked flavour, but a good result for Philly that still looks disjointed.

    CHV 3-1 FCD
    -It was like watching couple of retarded paraphlegic kids fight each other, with hilariously poor defending by both sides.

    SJ 2-1 NY
    -Another late game heroics... scratch that. It was just Roy Miller costing NY points again. Sam Cronin looked good again.

    Week 3 games (MLS Rivalry week)

    Tues 12 Mar
    Seattle vs Tigres, 10pm CCL
    -Tigres leads 1-0 on aggregate

    Wed 13 Mar
    Santos Laguna vs Houston, 8pm CCL
    -Houston leads 1-0 on aggregate

    LA vs Herediano, 10pm CCL
    -0-0 on aggregate

    Sat 16 Mar
    NY vs DC, 1230pm

    SKC vs CHI, 3pm

    PHI vs NE, 5pm

    CLB vs SJ, 530pm

    RSL vs COL, 6pm

    SEA vs POR, 8pm (my pick for game of the week)

    Sun 17 Mar

    I see Seattle in last and, given the cult-like behavior of its supporters, I can't help but be happy.

    See it's still all to play for in the CCL (although Houston will have it tough away in Torreon). Should be some good matches.

    Kobayashi's strike is one of the finest that I can recall since I've been watching MLS. Camara's and Jahn's were sweet too.

    The quality of this league continues to improve every season.

    Not sure where I'll be or what shape I'll be in by the time it kicks off, but I'd love to catch the Seattle-Portland game later on.
