All Games Saturday


NYRB @ Orlando 1pm - Mid day heat in Florida awaits the team who has looked the best, at times, of all teams in the league. Orlando can't seem to figure out their midfield. Yes, NYRB might rest a few before a trip to Mexico but their B team has been pretty impressive when called upon. NYRB 2 Orlando 1 Why watch this game? Orlando pyscho drama this week includes the mustachioed one versus his old team.

Vancouver @ Columbus 3pm - Clash of styles - Columbus loves to roll the ball around while Vancouver hits on the break & set pieces. CBus is way more organized then the Caps are used to. Caps fans keep talking about their away record last seson but this is a step too far. Columbus 3 Vancouver 1 Why watch this game? Undeniably two of the better teams in the league right now. We will have to go through both these teams for success this season.

LAFC @ LAG 3pm - Game of the Week The El Traffico. Sure, lots of hype for this one what with Zlatan being around & all. LAFC has looked good in general, with decent enough defence & lots of inventiveness - LAG is still a work in progress but Ola Kamara scored 3 for Norway this week. 2 - 2 draw Why watch this game? Zlatan - bald Bradley Dad - Beitashour - pick your interest & enjoy the spectacle

Portland @ Chicago 6pm A game of two teams yet to figure out who they are. Portland is in a serious transition funk. Chicago doesn't know who they are without Accam on the wing. The home team is the more likely one to suddenly see what they can do. Chicago 1 Portland 0 Why watch this game? I honestly don't know.

Atlanta @ Minnesota 8pm The Loons have looked surprisingly good & will compare themselves to Atlanta both on and off the pitch for awhile. Atlanta though is a step above what the Loons have faced so far, at least in attack. Atlanta 3 Minnesota 2 Why watch this game? Attacking prowess vs. Attacking bloody mindedness

NYC @ San Jose 8pm - NYC is figuring out how to get it done, even without David Villa. San Jose is pretty good at home though & manages to keep things close. 1-1 draw Why watch this game? Keep your eyes on NYC this season - they are on a mission much like we were last year.


NER @ Houston 8:30pm - NER has not been all great to watch. They play home field advantage to the max but have no real inventiveness to them. Houston has a lot of firepower & is very very good at home. 3-1 win for Houston. Why watch this game? Alberth Elis is going to have a breakout year - he and the Houston attack are fun to watch.


DCU @ SKC 8:30pm - A whole lot of meh in this game. DCU is just not that good while SKC seems to be stuck in second gear. SKC is better coached though. 2-1 for SKC Why watch this game? We play DCU in ....oh wait....nah, I got nothing.


Philly @ Colorado 9pm - The "Trust the Process" derby Philly seems farther along in that process. 2-1 win for the Union. Why watch this game? The Union has a lot of young talent that is starting to gel - likely tough opponent for us this season.


Montreal @ Seattle 10pm - Montreal is really not that good a team. Neither is Seattle. The travel should mitigate Montreal's slight advantage in attack. 1-1 draw Why watch this game? Raheem Edwards could break out in this one.
