My oh my, MLS. Sounds like everyone got together before the weekend and said, "Hey, let's all score a bunch of goals for the people." And score a bunch of goals for the people they did! The most riveting match was a 4-4 draw between Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo. New England and Columbus also decided to join the 4-goal party in their Hulk smashes of Real Salt Lake and Philadelphia, respectively. In all, 28 goals were scored in 9 games, including 20 of them on Saturday. This made for some exciting matches for neutral and casual fans and, of course, elation for all fans of #DCUAfterDark. Keep scoring goals, MLS. This will keep people talking at the water coolers about the scorefests they saw at the soccer match over the weekend.
Alright, while the rankings don't see too much movement this week, we put it to you now. How high or low should United be? Who's ranked too high or low? Speak your piece in the comments!

Chris Rolfe is putting biscuits in the basket, and that is bringing the Black-and-Red massive results |

What they did to the Union just isn’t nice, fair or remotely hospitable. |

So, when Jozy Altidore scores, Toronto wins. Got it. Use that gameplan going forward. |

They love playing Dallas and apparently are the only team who can deal with them. |

They aren’t nearly good enough to phone it in against teams. But, phone it in against the Crew they did. |

Now that CCL is done, they can get back to the business of Major League Soccer. |
