What else went on in MLS on Saturday night?
* Crew beat RSL in Rio Tinto 2-0. Shocking result really. Just as much as Robbie Rogers’ goal and assist too. Credit to Rogers for turning up his play the last month though I have to admit I’m not a fan of his either on the Crew or with the US National team.
* Another shocker with the Houston Dynamo beating the Sounders 3-1. Seattle looked fatigue in this one and it’s no surprise there was a bit of a lackluster effort here. Credit to the Dynamo though who last week basically had a fork stuck in them by the fans and media. Brian Ching was the spark for them with 2 goals. Maybe the spark for Ching was the firing of Bob Bradley.
* While other teams seem to be stumbling against opponents they should beat, the Galaxy are quietly completing business as usual. A 4-0 drubbing over Vancouver now gives the Galaxy a 14 game unbeaten streak. Landon Donovan scored two to go into a tie for the league lead in goals with Thierry Henry (11).
* Sporting KC are also quietly building a nice unbeaten streak of their own, now at 13 with a tie against the Revs. Teal Bunbury got an equalizer in the 89th minute to keep their streak alive at Armstrong Stadium.
* DC United’s Dwayne DeRosorio was the third MLS player on the night with a brace to lead his team to a 2-0 over the San Jose Earthquake. DC has played better on the road than at home this season and haven’t lost a match on the road since April 29th. San Jose is decimated by injuries right now and are currently in the longest winless drought since they came back to the league in 2008.

Recap: Timbers with a disappointing tie to Toronto FC
My post for Global Football Today. Took me forever to write because I kept writing “loss” instead of “tie.” Ugh…
