I'm back and so is the MLS!

That's right people, I'm back. The last time I posted seemed to have been a million years ago!

The Major League Soccer (MLS) season started just a few weeks ago. The first week came with a giant upset in Seattle. The Montreal Impact traveled to Seattle to play the Sounders. Seattle is not an easy place for the opposing team. Montreal was not troubled by the noisy crowd and came out with a 1-0 win. Montreal went on to win their next 2 games and sit upon the top of the Eastern Conference. To add to the glory of their 3 wins, one of the wins was against their rivals Toronto FC. It will be fun to watch and see if the Impact will continue their run of form. Is this their year? Well probably not, but we will see!

FC Dallas made it 2 wins out of 3 in the Texas Derby on Sunday. I happened to go to the game. The game was great and lived up to the "Derby" hype. FC Dallas sprang out to a 2-0 lead, then in the second half Houston came and tied it up 2-2. In the 90th minute Michel, who was voted player of the game, crossed the ball into the box and Kenny Cooper headed it down, then poked it in to make the score 3-2. The game ended that way and all the Dallas fans were happy that they could finally celebrate a Texas Derby win again. The only problem with Cooper's header was, it could have been called  a hand ball. When I got home and looked the amazing play up on Youtube, you could see that Cooper's head missed the ball and hit his bicep, then rolled down his arm. There is argument whether a handball should have been called or not (of course one was not). Some of the Youtube comments include: That it was not a hand ball because his arms were in a natural position and he tried to head it, or it was a scoring chance so even though it was unintentional, it should have been called.

The MLS youtube channel posts the highlights of all its league matches, so if you miss a game go check it out.

I hope to write more often then I have been!!
