  New York City FC 3 vs. Montreal Impact 1 Highlights This is the David Villa we’ve been waiting for and the NYCFC we’ve been waiting for. The offensive display from NYCFC is reflected in their 54% possession, 17 shots and 9 shots on goal. We also saw the emergence of Kwadwo Poku with his 90th minute goal and his subsequent performance …

  Seattle Sounders 0 vs. Sporting Kansas City 1 Highlights Well….. I’ll keep this short since I’m a Sounders fan and run the risk of ranting for 5 pages. This game was some BS from the offside call on Neagle to the penalty on Seattle. The Sounders were missing their two star players among others and still deserved to beat SKC. …

The following predictions are based on the ELO ranking system. This system was first used in Chess to calculate the skill level of players and predict the most likely winner. Since soccer can end in a draw, I’m using a modified version of this formula that tries to predict the chance that a team will come away from a match …

  DC United 3 vs. Chicago Fire 1 Highlights The Chicago Fire looked very promising early on with an attack being led by Shipp (because of Maloney’s Int’l duty absence) and Accam. The two linked up well early on and it eventually resulted in a Fire goal with mounting momentum. However, DC United managed to quell it and Espindola came on early …

  Seattle Sounders 1 vs. Colorado Rapids 0 Highlights Sounders passed Colorado off the field in this one. Even though they didn’t create many chances, it didn’t matter because they didn’t need the chances if they could control the game as well as they did and to be fair they probably could’ve had a few more. I will say the …

  Colorado Rapids 1 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps 0 Highlights Phew that was close. The Rapids almost had a second straight game called due to storm warnings and lightning. However all that was signaling was the Rapids first home win in something like 302 days. That’s surprising giving the number of shutouts the Rapids put up in the beginning weeks of …

    New England Revolution 2 vs. Sporting Kansas City 4 Highlights The Revolution pulled ahead early and looked to unload a beating on a injury riddled SKC side, however the game turned in favor of SKC in the second half and the Revolution couldn’t find their way back into the game. The likes Agudelo and Davies made their mark, …
