At least RSL and TFC lost last night. Thank god. The only bad part was having to listen to Glenn Davis be a smarmy tool throughout the Houston game. As for Houston and Kinnear? That's a team slowly dying inside:
A visibly frustrated Dominic Kinnear could be seen on the bench and the Dynamo continued to make poor decisions on the ball, lacked movement and generally played direct.
...
This was the most frustrated I have seen Brian Ching in his career and I have always admired his ability to walk away from tackles and the physical treatment he has received.
Something's going on with Ching, as he should have been sent off *last* week at Crew stadium for scything down Eric Brunner from behind, and then complained long and loud about Alejandro Moreno diving. As for me, I think he's a petulant douche.
Anyway, Houston gave up a goal to a 10-man side, and looked confused for large portions of the game. They better hope they don't meet us in the playoffs.
As for Dallas/KC, at least KC can still pretend they have a shot at the playoffs.
Chicago has to like their chances today against the Crew - at home with Chad Marshall out injured. Unfortunately for the Fire, even if they win the Crew still has a game in hand on them. Both games between these teams this year have ended in ties, so I think we'll see a winner today. Given that McBride is back and doesn't have to deal with Marshall, I'm going to give the edge to Chicago, but this is really too close to call. On a related note, the NYT had a nice run down of the Crew's season yesterday.
