MLS Week 25 - The Disruption of Ike

Hawksport travelled to the Bay Area last weekend to watch the visiting Houston Dynamo battle to a 1-1 draw at San Jose Earthquakes, the site of their former incarnation.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Hurricane Ike cancelled all flights to and from Houston area airports over the weekend and caused a four-day delay to my return.

Many in the Houston area remain without power a full week after the storm. As a result, a timely report on the action from Week 25 was not possible.

Hawksport will return to normal service for the coming weekend’s fixtures.

Week 25 Results

New England 4 Chivas 0 (The sign says "Ralston Rules" - it's hard to disagree)
Toronto 1 Columbus 1 (Crew continues to lead the way)
Kansas City 2 L.A. Galaxy 0 (Beckham gives another lesson in how not to close down opponents)
D.C. United 2 Dallas 2 (Kenny Cooper gives another example why he should play for USA)
New York 2 Salt Lake 1 (Angel benefits from horrendous refereeing blunder)
San Jose 1 Houston 1 (Fair result between West's two form teams)
Colorado 2 Chicago 0 (Second consecutive win puts Rapids firmly back in play-off picture)
