agree with you Heft. I hope someone puts a foot up Dwyer's you know what because he is a cynical little snit. Great quick feet though. Vermes has coached hi steam very well but Ican only hope this style backfires on them when PRO starts really cramping their style with reds and yellows that they have been able to skate for the last two years. Once again, over 20 fouls by KC this game. One key to calming Colin down is an early yellow.
The officiating was very good. That crew was spot on, including the yellow on Sapong for time wasting, and the yellow to Collin.

Basically the best results we could have hoped for. DC and NY looked like they were still in middle of preseason. Bobby was completely at fault for the first CLB goal.

Chivas and FCD are even for 2nd in the West. I flipped a coin to break those ties.
Couldn't believe that Vancouver score. Apparently it could have been worse if not for some saves by Robles.
I'm always amused at certain RB players refusal to play on turf... And the commedy of errors continue at DC. Nah...Benny has to be feeling it. Curious how many more years he has on his contract. If this is his last, or next to, he could be given his marching orders if this continues.
I know it's too early but we should take a picture of this http://www.mlssoccer.com/standings/supporters-shield
