Saturday
Houston @ DCU 1:30 pm - DCU forced to play at a 5K stadium & can't sell those 5K of seats. Kinda like how this game is going to go. Houston 3 DCU 1 Why watch this game? Different stadia are always interesting for a few minutes
Chicago @ Minnesota2:00 pm - The Fire hasn't figured out its defence - neither have the Loons. The Loons lost their best player when Molina went out with an ACL tear but still have a lot of goals in them. Weird offensive lower table clash. 3-2 for the home team. Why watch this game? Goals are fun
Columbus @ Philly 2:00pm - Philly looked pretty darn good with Accam providing some spark - mind you, that was against the woeful Revs two weeks ago. Columbus has been impressive but nobody has really attacked that backline much yet. 2-1 for Columbus Why watch this game? Which of our east rivals is for real?
Orlando @ NYCFC 3:30pm - Orlando's defence is a hot mess. NYC is just plugging along. Home field will mean a lot this week. 4-1 for NYC. Why watch this game later? Keep an eye on NYC - they have been impressive so far.
Vancouver @ Atlanta 7:30pm - The opposite bowl. Huge distance apart geographically, financially & in style. Vancouver is going to bunker for 90 minutes & hit on the counter. Atlanta tried a new 3-5-2 last week and it worked well against the woeful DCU. The Caps are a tad better organized. 1-1 draw. Why watch this game? Clash of styles.
San Jose @ SKC 8:30pm - Two teams that haven't worked out their balance yet. SJE beat the Loons - not impressively. SKC has no attack yet but got goals from the midfield. A game crying out for a 1-1 draw. Why watch this game? Honestly, I don't know. Catch the highlights.
NYRB @ RSL 9:00pm - RSL has looked horrid while NYRB has looked impressive. This being MLS, RSL is going to be better this week. Not enough to win but it will not be a blowout. 2-2 draw Why watch this game? Petke vs. Marsch - betya somebody is going to be steamed afterwards for sure.
Sunday
Seattle @ FCD 5:00pm - Neither team has been all that good to watch. Seattle is beat up and travel is not going to help. FCD to rebound here. 4-1 for FCD. Why watch this game? FCD's attack has to click one game and this might be it.
