As the playoff race has heated up in Major League Soccer, so have the goals that have been scored. This week we saw plenty of good goals but only a select amount were above the rest.

The best goal for me was either Sainey Nyassi’s run against New York or Brad Davis’ strike against RSL.

(Note QuickKicks on the league site did not have the Columbus/Chicago goals)

Can someone get a W this weekend?

That may be the bigger question going around the league right now. Can teams find a winning way and not a tying way? Some clubs more than others need a win this weekend in a big way to not only get back on track but to also get back in the thick of things in terms of playoff picture here.

We stay with the usual schedule set-up here, six games on Saturday and one loner on Sunday. Only the Crew have the weekend off as they try to get healthy here. Everyone else is in action this weekend.

Since I am a little pressed for time this week’s previews will but cut a bit short with just the quick thoughts on the match. I wish I had more time to do a longer preview but as I mentioned the other day I am in the middle of buying a house right now so a lot of my free time is being put into that. Hopefully that will get resolved very soon.
