The Road to MLS Cup XII, Week 11

1. Just when I was getting ready to annoint Chivas USA as "best of the West" (which is akin to saying they're the prettiest girl on the naval base), an undermanned Dynamo puts 4 on them. Dallas wins against Colorado in Denver (where the Rapids have really underperformed--- think of how bad they'd be if it weren't for the altitude advantage!). And then the (still) undermanned Dynamo beat Kansas City on the road. For my money, Dallas is still a paper tiger. Houston's clawed their way back to be the Team to Beat in the West.

2. Didn't I say last week how Real Salt Lake was dangerous? Although I seriously wondered if RSL was going to be able to get through the season without a single victory (the MLS equivalent of shooting the moon), I figured they had enough spark to beat United, which, even during its recent nice run, seems strangely subdued.

3. Don't look now, but the Crew have a WINNING STREAK. LA is now the team most in need of a win. Hopefully Donovan is not skipping Copa America for nothing and can go back to the Home Depot Center and lead his team.
