MLS Re-Cap

Kansas City Wizards 3 - 3 Columbus Crew

Arguably the best game of the week. The return of the most talented, what happened to this guy, Josh Wolff. Goals galore, if you turned you're head in the first half, you probably missed something. The result didn't change much in the eyes of both teams. Kansas City still can't get out of the bottom part of the table, and the Crew remains a consistant, point-getting team.

Real Salt Lake 0 - 0 Chicago Fire

I could be extremely lazy here and say no post is needed, but there were some things noticeable from the match. First of all, the Chicago Fire fans are great, Section 8 is underrated as a Supporters Group. Second of all, Justin Mapp is fun to watch, the guy is all over the field, and if he can get back the confidence he had 2 years ago while getting national team call-ups, he can be a good replacement for the injury prone Damarcus Beasley

Colorado Rapids 2 - 2 F.C. Dallas

A small rivalry based on playoff appearances in the past, this game always seems to be an interesting one. Face it, when a goalie punches a guy in the face after a heated post-season match-up, there tends to be some fireworks after that. No fireworks here, just goals. Kenny Cooper with another performance to be noted (goal and an brilliant assist) Juan Toja looked dangerous, and Conor Casey continues to be relatively quiet, but dangerous. Dallas is going to struggle to make the playoffs if they continue to get draws at home.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Kenny Cooper


San Jose Earthquakes - Toronto F.C.

Another snooze fest of a match, as both offenses look like they have never played on turf before. Can we please get grass on these pitches please? The new Earthquake pick-ups looked quite dangerous. Huckerby has more pace than people realized, and Lima (while older than my grandmother) looked ok. And seriously, Glenn Davis, we know that Toronto has a good fanbase, let's sound a little less surprised.

New York Red Bulls 2-2 Los Angeles Galaxy

Best game of the weekend in my opinion. Up and down play the entire match with stars all over the field. Beckham looked lost most of the game, hanging out by the sidelines talking to the 14 year old girls, Donovan was dangerous, Carlos Ruiz looked, well, like Carlos Ruiz. Carlos should have his own adjective. Dave van den Burgh is an underrated talent, and I really liked Dane Richards, until he got hurt. New York is having trouble winning games, and Los Angeles keeps plugging along, we'll see where each team goes from here.
