Chicago Fire vs. LA Galaxy, Sunday, 4:00 EDT
The Fire will try to overcome the chainsaw wounds inflicted by Timber Joey against an LA squad facing a bunch of suspensions, including one David Beckham, who can't learn to keep his trap shut. LA has dropped four points in the last two matches, and if they want to be in the Supporter's Shield mix again, they better pick it up. Teams aren't going to roll over for them, and MLS is done worshiping at the feet of Beckham. Still Chicago is having a rough time, so LA should win, but that's what you might have thought the last couple of outings as well. The Fire showed some guts trying to come back against Portland, but their back line was horrid.
Portland Timbers vs. FC Dallas, Sunday, 6:00 EDT
How many slabs will Timber Joey cut off against the Hoops? Honestly though, Dallas looked pretty good last time out, and they do still have the MVP. I think this could be a really fun match to watch. It will be interesting to see if the advantage the Timbers at home against Chicago will turn up again. They need to hold on to the ball better, or Dallas will punish them. Still, Timber Joey rules.
Houston Dynamo vs. New England Revolution, Sunday, 7:00 EDT
Maybe New England can keep everyone on the pitch for this one, but I doubt it. Discipline problems have hassled the Revs all year, and it's not just the ref's fault. They were just boneheads against RSL and couldn't take losing. As for Houston, they'll try to build on a 3-1 win over Vancouver, but they still had some lapses in the at one that will need fixed. Unfortunately for the Orange, Brian Ching is still doubtful after going off injured in NY a couple weeks back.P
