    Default Other MLS Games This Weekend - May 7-9

    All game times are kickoff as per MLS

    Games in Red are worth watching IMHO - as per usual YMMV

    Friday

    San Jose @ RSL 9:38pm - very hipster in an early season sort of way - SJE man marking vs. a team who can pass REALLY well



    Saturday


    Philly @ Chicago 1:08pm - Philly put everything into their CCL game & might not have much in the tank - the Fire are, once again, not all that good though


    DCU @ Columbus 1:38pm - We play CBus on Wednesday - the CCL loss was with a lot of subs - DCU has been inconsistent but they have a new coach - lots of pundits saying CBus is going to dominate this season - if so, this is the sort of game they should win
    I'ma going to duel screen this match with ours



    New England @ Nashville 1:38pm - NER looks very good at home (surprise surprise) Nashville with their 4th straight home match but the first 3 have been draws - Nashville putting out more offence this year but can't stop the one off goals that they did last year - I'm a thinking another draw

    Montreal "@" Vancouver 3:08pm - speaking of early season hipster teams - if you didn't look at the standing and trusted the pundits, you'd think Montreal is a BIG ask for VCWC to beat - the difference is 1 point over 3 games Vancouver can't score but Montreal can't defend

    Houston @ Dallas 3:50pm - yeah, I just can't really care about these 2 teams that look destined to by where they are now in the standings - 7th & 8th


    NYCFC @ Orlando 6:00pm - Always a kooky one (Florida man trying to distract Villa taking a penalty comes to mind) We play these 2 teams in the next 2 weeks.


    LAFC @ LAG 8:05pm - ElTraffico a bit spicy with no Vela this time but still a much better attack then LAG's defence. Given the comaradarie LAG is trying to instill, I fully expect this one to get nasty about 20 minutes in & for a fight to break out in the second half


    Minnesota @ Colorado 10:08pm - Loons were dark horse west contenders, as were the Rapids. Not working out that way so far.


    Sunday


    Atlanta @ Miami 1:08pm - A test of whether either of these big name coaches are actually any good.

    Seattle @ Portland 3:13pm - One of those games people tell you you should watch (they self describe this as the biggest rivalry in MLS) but then that's because it means a lot to those fans - not to me. There's nothing here that intrigues me, to be honest.


    Austin @ SKC 7:55pm - Austin is kinda fun to watch in an earnest sort of way but I get the feeling Vermes is just going to have his team kick them to death

    I'm convinced Chris Wondolowski uses black magic to score so many tap in goals
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    My anger has subsided considerably in the past few hours. But, I will say, looking around the league, some of the football out there looks quite good (maybe that’s the positive way of putting it, haha)
