- Toronto continue on their winning ways with their 3rd straight victory of the campaign. A new record for the franchise.

- Houston has yet to grab 3 points this campaign. Injuries aside, the club is suffering with lack of imagination in the attacking areas of the pitch. While Columbus crew continue on their great start. Will it continue though, is the real question.

- DC United regain focus and grab a victory from Real Salt Lake who defeated them the other week by a score line of 4-0. DC gave back some revenge with a 4-1 victory. Seeing J. Moreno bag a brace on PK's. The best PK taker known (in my opinion), has the biggest bag of tricks and balls of steel when it comes to taking PK's. Followed by two brilliant goals by S Quaranta and Marcelo Gallardo (both up for the best goal of the week).

- Chicago got back to their winning ways by disposing of the Rapids. The Rapids have looked lost the last couple of weeks with the loss of the main attacking orchestrator in Gomez up the middle. As I stated earlier, Gomez will make this team run, but without him, they are lackluster at best.

- The Galaxy and Chivas shows us how not to defend. The Galaxy took advantage of countless errors by the Chivas defense and keeper to grab the derby victory.

- The Red Bulls dispose of the expansion franchise with ease. With Altidore being the key man in the Red Bulls attack as of late.
