Chivas USA also won 1-0, beating the Montréal Impact, and Sporting KC tied 1-1 with the Chicago Fire. Those are the most recent results.

Upcoming Schedule

The first game of the round will be between the SJ Earthquakes and DC United. Then, the NY Red Bulls will play the Columbus Crew, and the Philadelphia Union will clash with the Colorado Rapids. Toronto FC will host the Houston Dynamo, and the Montréal Impact will play Sporting KC. The NE Revolution will host the Chicago Fire, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will play Chivas USA. The LA Galaxy will play Real Salt Lake, and the final game of the round will be a good one, when the Seattle Sounders host the Portland Timbers. That is the upcoming schedule.

MLS Fantasy Tips

Now, let's get to the MLS Fantasy tips this week that I have to share with everybody. One player that I think you should try to get on your team is Dom Dwyer. He scored again in the last game against the Chicago Fire, and I wouldn't bet against him scoring against the Montréal Impact. In his last three games, he's averaged about five points per game. One more player that I'd suggest getting is Clint Dempsey. He'll be returning from the World Cup, and the last time the Sounders played Portland, Dempsey scored a hat-trick in the 4-4 draw. Especially with the home advantage, I think that he might get a goal or at least a good amount of points. One last player that I'm seriously looking at is Pedro Morales. He has been earning points like crazy lately, and I think that he could get lots of points against Chivas USA. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round. Take a look at the schedule, and be sure to pay attention to the home advantages and the player absences.
