Week 6 MLS Recap........What The Hell??

Maybe its just me, but what the hell is going on in MLS so far this year? The highly touted uber-team DC United has been playing more like Derby County recently, and last years MVP Luciano Emilio looks about as dangerous as a wet sponge..........here's some other things that are puzzling MLS fans and happened around MLS this week:

Somebody Break Up The Crew: Honestly nobody saw this coming...........the Columbus Crew are 5-1 and looking down and laughing at everybody from the top of the MLS standings. If anybody tells you they predicted this they are lying and you should kick them in the privates......But seriously the Crew are playing good soccer and Schellotto looks as good as ever even after all those off season rumors he didn't want to be in Columbus this year. The Crew have a chance to go to 6-1 this week as long as they score a goal because god knows San Jose couldn't score even if the other team had no one in net............Oh yeah and how about Moreno's flying scissor kick assist to Robbie Rodgers this past week.......Ray Hudson's head probably exploded when he saw it:

Beckham Bends It Like...............Beckham: Just a note to the RSL defense, there are some people in this league that you really shouldn't be leaving open at the top of the box and in a perfect world they wouldn't leave anybody open. But if your going to leave somebody open from 20 yards out, don't let it be someone who is world famous for swerving the ball into the upper 90's of numerous goals throughout his career. Ruud Gullit must be thanking the heavens above that his team can score more than two goals every game because his defense outside of Sean Franklin is a disaster area guaranteed to give up at least a goal per game............so instead of watching their futile attempts at defense, feast your eyes on Beckham doing what he does best:


Westward Bound: You hear that?? That's the sound of Eastern Conference teams celebrating every time they have to play a Western Conference team as the Western Conference is just plain awful this year. The fact that the last place team in the Eastern Conference right now, DC United, would only be two points out of a playoff spot right now is just plain sad. Hopefully the Western Conference can get it together for the good of the league because right now none of them deserve a playoff spot.



Crapitol Hill: Things are not good down in DC right now as they are playing listless, uninspired soccer right now and are languishing as the bottom of the Eastern Conference table. There is simply no reason for a team with so much talent on the roster to be playing so awfully. Their game against Colorado was downright awful on Sunday, and its hard to see them turning it around against Chicago this Thursday mostly because Chicago is on fire(haha I meant that) and because they have had made DC their proverbial Bee-otch in recent years(see last years playoff match-up and everyone before that).......Hopefully DC can call upon some help from their new sponsor, and get Herbie the Love Bug to play for them and score some goals.
