Will Houston Dynamo Win The MLS Cup Again?

2008 MLS PLAYOFFS

The regular MLS season concluded on Sunday and we’re heading for the 2008 playoffs.There are two clear postseason favorites. The defending champions Houston Dynamo and the best team in the regular season Columbus Crew. But lets not count out teams like Kansas City with a record of five wins in the last seven matches. The West Coast teams Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake pairing may see the Utah team come on top. But I don’t think the NY Red Bulls will be much of a factor against Houston. New England will have their hands full with Chicago who came alive lately, thanks to their stars Brian McBride and Cuauhtémoc Blanco.  Selected matches will be shown (not all of them unfortunately) on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, Fox Soccer Channel and the final on ABC. Don’t forget to come back for playoff commentary and all the match results as they happen.
