Soccer Blog - Week 8

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another blogpost of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week of soccer, and half of the games resulted in draws, and half of the games resulted in wins. Now, let's take a look at the round results.

Round 7 Results

The games started up on Wednesday, when the New York Red Bulls beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1.
Then, the Chicago Fire tied 1-1 with the NE Revolution, and the Philadelphia Union played again, and drawing 0-0 with the Houston Dynamo. The Colorado Rapids and SJ Earthquakes also tied 0-0, and there was a 2-2 draw between the LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps. The Columbus Crew tied 1-1 with DC United, and FC Dallas won the game late 2-1 against Toronto FC. Then, there was a 4-0 win for Sporting KC over the Montréal Impact. Then, Real Salt Lake beat the Portland Timbers 1-0, and the final game of the round was a 2-1 win for the Seattle Sounders over Chivas USA. Those are the most recent results. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming fixtures.

Upcoming Schedule

Toronto FC, Chicago Fire, and the LA Galaxy all have byes next round, and will not be playing. The first game will be between the NY Red Bulls and Houston Dynamo, and then the Montréal Impact will play the Chicago Fire. The Seattle Sounders will host the game against the Colorado Rapids, which I'll actually be attending! FC Dallas will travel to play DC United, and the Columbus Crew will host the NY Red Bulls. The NE Revolution will host Sporting KC, and Real Salt Lake and the Vancouver Whitecaps will clash at Rio Tinto Stadium. The SJ Earthquakes will host Chivas USA, and the round will finish with the Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers clashing at BBVA Compass Stadium. Those are the upcoming games, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

In MLS Fantasy, you should be sure to steer clear of Chicago Fire, LA Galaxy, and Toronto FC players, since they all have byes. With the NY and Houston game, I'd suggest getting Lloyd Sam, Ricardo Clark, or Luis Robles. I would suggest getting Clint Dempsey on your team at home against the Colorado Rapids, or Chad Marshall. Mauro Diaz is a player that you could keep on your team, since he can really get points against anybody. However, keep in mind that DC United are undefeated in four games, which is the team that FC Dallas face on the road. Other players that I suggest getting would be Dom Dwyer, Aurélien Collin, Kyle Beckerman, or maybe Maurice Edu. There are lots of excellent choices and opportunities out there for you. Those are my MLS Fantasy picks for this upcoming round.
