Although there are two teams (San Jose and New York) that have only played two matches, this will be the first review in which I publish the Major League Soccer table, and this season there are some surprises early on. In fact, what I predicted to be a weekend of matches that are nothing special turned out to be a very exciting weekend of big teams losing to supposedly weaker opposition yet again. Welcome to the MLS.

In 2007, New England finished in second place in the MLS Cup for the third straight season. In fact, the Revs have been finalists four times and semi-finalists twice in the last six seasons, but they have never won an MLS Cup. This is agonizing for me personally because New England has always been my favorite club, and even when Seattle joins the league next summer, I’ll still have a soft spot for these lads.
The 2007 season brought silverware in the form of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, which is the American FA Cup. However, skeptics will look at the fact that the only MLS team New England faced was FC Dallas in the final. They cruised past second and third division teams all the way to the final, beating FC Dallas 3-2.
