New England 3, Houston 3
Gillette Stadium
The streak ends for the Dynamo, but Houston fight hard for a point at Gillette. Taylor Twellman resumed scoring, while Brian Ching played catch-up by scoring 2 goals in 2 minutes. In probably the craziest game of the season so far, take a look at previous posts to find out why.

NER: Noonan (3), Twellman (8)
HOU: DeRosario (4), Ching 2 (6)
Columbus 2, Toronto FC 0
Columbus Crew Stadium
Thanks to the presence of Guillermo Barros Schelloto (all he needed was about 5 minutes), the Crew overcame a stingy Toronto FC squad. Toronto's away woes continue as the Crew start their winning ways all over again.

CMB: Schelloto 2 (4)
TFC: NONE
New York 1, D.C. United 0
Giants Stadium
John Wolyniec put one away early on with the help of Claudio Reyna and Jozy Altidore as New York managed to hold on for the first Atlantic Cup victory in a looooong time. The Red Bull defense looked, quite possibly, back to normal. The Bulls gained two points on both KC and NE in the Eastern Conference race.

RBNY: Wolyniec (3)
DCU: NONE
Colorado 2, Kansas City 2
Arrowhead Stadium
Colorado overcame a quick brace from Eddie Johnson (who now solely possesses the Golden Boot lead with 12) to force a point away at Arrowhead. It took a PK conversion from Jovan Kirovski and Facundo Erpen's first goal for the club to do it, but it was done. This year could be the first year multiple forwards have hit for 20 goals in the same season. KC struck early then had to hold on due to Jose Burciaga, Jr.'s sending off in the 67th minute. Somebody fend off the Derby County officials because after this game, I think we'll see them offering some money.

COL: Kirovski (PK 3), Erpen (1)

Friendlies!
Real Salt Lake 2, Everton 0
Robbie Findley and Carey Talley scored to make RSL 2-0 in international friendlies. Too bad it can't translate to league wins...Timmy Howard looked decent in goal, while it was apparent that Everton were severely lacking in fitness.

Chelsea FC 1, Los Angeles 0
It was lavish. It was a spectacle. It was somewhat hair-raising. There were stars there and a sea of Beckham jerseys. Overall, you have to be happy about it. Did ESPN not focus on the right things? Of course not. They Americanized it, but it was a good thing Beckham did. He will fit well into this league, but now...rest. Chelsea's lone goal was scored by John Terry (everytime he's around Beckham he finds some way to score!). The Galaxy played well and even though they were outshot 25-5, two sitters were missed by Donovan and Gordon. A good showing overall. Abel Xavier and Ty Harden stood out in the back.

Chicago 1, Celtic 1
In Blanco's debut, he scores. How fitting. The bull raced down a self-pass, beat the outstretched fingers of Artur Boruc, and slotted it home. Celtic equalized later, but overall, a decent showing from the aching Fire. Blanco looks ready to go and could make an immediate impact on the Chicago's second half of the season.
