Last weekend’s 1-5 (4-8 overall) dismal performance
has my confidence reeling, but it’s never too
late to pull things together. If the Galaxy would have
been more concerned about holding onto their lead instead
of trying to get another goal, I could have pulled out
at least another win. Unfortunately, that’s what
happens when the guy on the bench doesn’t know
how to make the proper adjustments.
Fire @ Crew: This homecoming will be something to celebrate
for Sigi and his boys. The Fire rallied late against
the Galaxy to salvage a point, but doesn’t look
to have too much that the Crew can’t overpower.
Crew 2-1.
Dynamo @ D.C. United: Houston will have to rebound from
last week’s last second loss to K.C. by picking
up some valuable points on the road. But D.C. will have
a reinvigorated Ben Olsen patrolling the midfield and
the home crowd will demand a big win. D.C. 1-0.
New England @ Wizards: Gansler has his boys playing
some good soccer. The firepower up front with EJ and
JW might be hard to keep up with this season. New England
will have a couple tired players who saw midweek national
team duty in their lineup. Wizards 2-1.
FC Dallas @ Rapids: The Rapids pulled off a pretty impressive
win over the Crew without the services of Mastroeni
and Mathis, but lightning won’t strike twice in
Denver this weekend. FC Dallas 2-0.
Red Bulls @ Real Salt Lake: It would be easy to predict
that RSL will be fired up for the home crowd and that
the Red Bulls will make a mess of this one on the road.
But they won’t. Red Bulls 1-0.
Galaxy @ Chivas USA: I didn’t think that Bradley
would rest JOB for the entire 90:00 last week and it
cost me a win. If he does happen to play the best American
player in the game Chivas USA looks determined to unseat
the Galaxy as Kings of the HDC. Chivas USA 2-1.
