Back to the grind. With only 4 games last week, and 4 more this week, not too many games to watch. There have been some great friendlies though, and with Superliga, still plenty of wonderful soccer to watch. I was able to watch both Everton and Boca Juniors up close this week, what a fantastic opportunity.

Not the best week. Houston dominated against NE, but didn’t get the result due to some poor calls. Still ended up being a fantastic match.

Ives: 27 - 41 - 6

Dang, seems I have fallen into a tie for first with Ryan. Sure would be nice if Ives decides to make some more predictions this year.

Houston at NE Revolution - Game of the week, and could be a preview of the MLS Cup later this year. Houston had been playing fantastic, but stumbled a bit against Toronto, who had no interest in winning at all. They have shown why they won the Cup last year, and are odds on favorite to win again. Until someone scores on them, I don’t see any other team having a chance. NE is playing well, and this one should be a barn burner. Houston Dynamo 2, NE Revolution 0

DC United at NY Red Bulls - Two teams struggling to keep the ball out of the back of their net. NY did better last week, only giving up one goal at NE, while DC gave up three second half goals against Dallas. NY is in a nose dive, they can’t seem to get any service to Angel at all, and their chances on goal have all but dried up. This match could go any way, one lucky bounce could give either team the win. DC should play well, but they are missing quite a few players with injury. DC United 1, NY Red Bull 1

Toronto FC at Columbus Crew - Toronto has been away from home quite a while, and their last match was not exactly a thing of beauty, the fact that bunker Bob was on the TFC bench was evident. Look for something similar this week, Columbus should control the match, out shoot TFC 4 to 1, while TFC will bunker back and just hope for a point on the road. Toronto 0, Columbus Crew 1

Colorado Rapids at Kansas City Wizards - Colorado is just about done for the season, with what appears to be a lame duck coach, and having this week waived their second leading scorer and trading away their fan favorite. Kansas City is playing well now that EJ is back, and should be able to run through a weakened Rapids midfield. Colorado Rapids 0, KC Wizards 3

New England 1, Houston 1 — Dynamo’s great shutout streak finally ends at 700+ minutes
Columbus 1, Toronto FC 0 — The Crew are looking for their fourth consecutive home win
D.C. 2, New York 0 — Minus Ángel (red), Bulls continue slide down East table
Kansas City 2, Colorado 0 — Rapids have a meager two points in their past eight games

Ryan has a great article this week about the first half of the season, as well as Garber’s comments this week. As Ryan mentioned, we may see the announcement of 2 more teems by the end of this year to start play in 2010. From everything I hear, one will be in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle or Portland), while the second will be in the Northeast (NY, which would be a big mistake, or Philly, which would be much better).

As mentioned before, we had to skip a few weeks as I was out of town. Ives has not posted predictions for several weeks now either, so we will just proceed without him, at the end of the season, he just won’t have as many total predictions as the rest of us.

Ives Glarcap: No predictions
Ryan Hunt: 4 - 2 - 0
MLSP: 4 - 1 - 1

Pretty good week for all involved. One of these days, RSL is actually going to win, since I think I have predicted them to come out of their slump every week. Big win over Everton last night, maybe next week is the week.

ves: 27 - 41 - 6
Ryan: 32 - 44 - 5

Still out in the lead, looks like we may have to put a percentage in there, as Ives can no longer be compared with our overall records.
