The return of MLS after a short World Cup Break saw the New York Red Bulls continue their winning ways, had the Philadelphia Union winning their inaugural game in PPL Stadium, and had two of our pick’em players going 6 out of 8. It also saw more than a few of us go for 1 or 2 out of 8. Find out how you did after the jump.
Congratulations to Mags and Pierre who led the group with 6 correct picks this week. The weekly standings have had a variety of “winners” lately, and as we approach the half way mark of the MLS season, it seems that the coveted top of the table is still up for grabs.

I truly hope you’re not as broke as they are…
Thanks for your concern, but I meant table position only.
Fortunately my financial situation is more in the mid-table region. Neither the riches nor the debt of the big clubs, nor the reckless money-torching of Citeh or Pompey. Perhaps Villa is a good analog.
