Scoring Summary:
LA – Jose Villarreal (Unassisted) 65’

Chicago looked poor and toothless in attack, Los Angeles were in second gear but won with little issue.

Nice map. Although, aren't there some teams missing? I was sure Montreal had a team, or are they just that unpopular?

This is a map state by state by Facebook likes, within states or areas can see more breakdown.  Will notice San Jose is not shown due to Los Angeles presence.  Maye Facebook is not as big for Montreal fans or in Quebec?

Note: San Antonio is second tier club

Awful match to watch as a Fire fan.  The defense was solid except for two huge mistakes and the offense was non-existant.

Injuries are a big issue as lack of depth mean Chicago will struggle unless healthy.  after this they have some winnable matches, dropping points to Philadelphia and San Jose in coming weeks could see them in hole very quickly.



Weather was poor and conditions for the field were worse, but DC United managed a 1-0 win in a scrappy affair against Montreal. Our big issue is with three biggest scoring threats not available due to injury or suspension need people to fill in gaps. Have a feeling 1-0 is what we're going to win by if we do win for next several matches.

sadly, Montreal player Mapp did suffer a bad injury, the link below shows United goalkeeper Hamid reaction (it was not pretty)

Rest of the results yesterday were

Philadelphia 0-0 Colorado
Vancouver 1-3 Toronto FC
Houston 1-0 Columbus
Dallas 1-0 San Jose
Portland 0-0 Salt Lake

Toronto looked impressive, still early days for many sides. Colorado looked rough, but how about manager Pablo Mastroeni's mustache.



Saw this picture and got a kick out of it. Vancouver not amused by Toronto.

My first ever MLS game ends in a 1-1 tie. It was frustrating to watch; I'll wait a couple of weeks before ultimately deciding if soccer interests me. Can MLS set its own rules, or does it have to comply with FIFA's rules?

I watched the second of half of the DC United game. From what I watched, they over all played pretty good. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the season. College will sadly keep me away from watching a lot of there games this season.

I remember them highlighting Hamid reactions to the injury. Lucky it never looked horrible on TV since they showed the replay of the injury atleast 5 times.


We looked okay. Reminds me of 2012 with mix of players filling in a grinding out a result.  We will be very different when Espindola, Silva and Halsti come back.



The big match of the weekend saw Orlando open in MLS with big crowd of 62,150. Great event for them and Kaka salvaged a draw 1-1 with stoppage time equalizer.



1-1 was also the scoreline in Kansas City as Sporting dropped points to New York.
