    Now we're truly spoiled. Three days of CCL matches followed closely by three days of league games, with the USOC close behind? Indeed!

    All game times are listed as EDT, and all games will be broadcast on MLS Live and Direct Kick unless otherwise noted.

    Friday 3 August

    New York at Houston, 8:00, NBCSN

    Saturday 4 August

    Columbus at DC, 7:30
    Kansas City at New England, 7:30
    Philadelphia at Montreal, 7:30
    Toronto at Chicago, 8:30
    Salt Lake at Colorado, 9:00

    Sunday 5 August

    Dallas at Portland, 7:00, NBCSN
    Los Angeles at Seattle, 9:00, ESPN2

    As always, keep it friendly here in the neutral PBP thread.

    I thought DC folded and only played random friendlies. They're still in MLS and in DC?

    What!?! No Chivas game this week? I am disappointed.
    Back in the good old days whenever United was going through a rough patch, which wasn't often, you could count on a home game against the Crewligans to right whatever was wrong. Maybe the old can become new again.

    I'm going to get this out of the way and say I don't feel like turning to NBCSN.

    Cahill starts (as if that was ever really in question anyway).

    Interesting LeToux over Cooper. It is well known that I'm a LeToux fan-boy but Coops a legit Golden Boot candidate. Did Backe just look at them and get confused on who was who?

    The fate of the twin towers has courted much controversy

    Rafa Marquez nowhere to been seen for NY. Red Bulls fans are... thrilled.

    I'd rather watch events that I watched 14 hours ago than this match. I'm watching a stream for no good reason.

    John Strong is the PbP guy for Portland. All the announcers you have heard of are in London, so it's the backups for a couple weeks.

    Can't help thinking the singing of the anthem would feel more special if it weren't sung for every event.

    At least that was decent rendition.

    So what happens in matches in England as far as an anthem being sung?

    Savannah Berry attempted to keep it Texas and draw the National Anthem out, but she's still a lot better than Harper Gruzins. I doubt her parents will blame an echo...

    It's an American sports tradition - it's done before every major sporting event I've ever attended - baseball, football, basketball, soccer (pro and college level).

    Re the smart soccer commercial: I find it ironic that the stat they're "gathering" re David Beckham is "number of sprints" when the answer is clearly "As few as possible."

    Wonder if someone will try to give Cahill a "welcome to MLS" thug moment.
