    Saturday June 2
    New England v Chicago

    Sunday June 10
    Vancouver v Houston

    Two matches over two weeks.

    The US squad had better be very entertaining during those two weekends. At least the Euros will be up and running on the 8th to help take care of my footy fix.

    That's around the time some of the friendlies start picking up too.

    Frankly I don't mind too much. MLS summer games can be almost unwatchable in many markets.

    Early June, yes, but not the rest of the month.

    Starting on June 16th there are 33 league games in the remaining three weeks of the month. 11 games per week is more than is getting played right now.

    And then in July there are 50 league games in the 4 weeks so the rate picks up even more.

    Only 43 league games in August but that's when the CCL gets going.
