MLS roundup: week 6

Kinda bizarre news out of Toronto, where coach John Carver (right) mysteriously resigned for personal reasons.

The craziness didn't affect the team it seemed, which racked up a couple wins after dwindling near the bottom of the standings after five weeks.

All of a sudden TFC is the top team in the Eastern Conference!

Now the roundup.

RESULTS
    N.Y. Red Bulls 2-3 D.C. United (A: 10,303)
    Toronto FC 1-0 Kansas City Wizards (A: 20,056)
    Columbus Crew 2-2 Chicago Fire (A: 16,628)
    Real Salt Lake 6-0 New England Revolution (A: 14,051)
    Colorado Rapids 1-1 Los Angeles Galaxy (A: 12,180)
    Chivas USA 2-0 FC Dallas (A: 14,611)
    Seattle Sounders FC 2-0 San Jose 'Quakes (A: 28,838)
    Kansas City Wizards 1-0 N.Y. Red Bulls (A: 10,385)
    Toronto FC 1-0 Chivas USA (A: 19,915)

THOUGHTS
  • Really crazy week. D.C. had a crazy comeback win on Sunday after Chicago's remarkable effort Saturday.
  • Holy beatdown Real Salt Lake. Mathis' strike was a beauty.
  • Chivas USA lost at BMO but is still king.
  • A two-loss week for New York, not good.
  • Pretty decent attendance numbers this week.
  • Welcome back to the win column Seattle. BTW, Keller rules!
  • Still no wins for Columbus or Los Angeles.
  • Can't say this enough: 6-0? Really New England?
  • Brian McBride is awesome, leads the Golden Boot standings.
  • And all those goals were in the second half?
  • Parity rules.
