Six weeks remain in the Major League Soccer season, and although the focus is largely on the
teams in the playoff hunt, the fantasy focus should shift to a team that's likely on the outside of
the postseason picture for the first time.

It's International Break Week. Is your fantasy team prepared?
With a cavalcade of fantasy contributors away on national-team duty this weekend, you might find
yourself dipping deep into your bench or the transfer market (if you have any moves remaining) to
field a complete squad.
On Saturday September 18, 2010, before a crowd of 16,435 at Robertson Stadium in Houston, Texas,
Toronto FC managed to keep its playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo.
The Dynamo's Brian Ching scored the match's first goal in the 18th minute, but in the end it was
former Dynamo player Dwayne De Rosario who won the match for Toronto with goals in the 60th and
94th minutes.

keep pace in the tightening MLS playoff race (8:30 p.m., MLS Direct Kick). The Wizards have been
hot of late, unbeaten in nine of their last 10, including a 2-0 win over Chivas USA this past
Sunday.

Remember when Seattle wins this match the Sounders will host the US Open Cup Final at Qwest
Field.
Chivas USA has some issues with the number of international players in their regular lineup, and
so the USSF rule for the Open Cup about only having 5 "internationals" probably limits them from
starting a truly strong squad.
Chivas USA forward Alan Gordon won Player of the Week honors for Week 24. Gordon assisted on
both goals in the 2-0 win over New England on Friday night at the Home Depot Center. It must be a
difficult transition when your old team is in the same building ( LA Galaxy) and they are on there
way to a MLS championship.

It has been less than a week since Toronto FC cancelled the "Preki & Mo Funtime Circus"
but as they say "the show must go on" - at least for a few more weeks.

Dwayne De Rosario starts and completes the Toronto FC comeback.
The Wizards continue their busy week tomorrow as they welcome the Houston Dynamo to CAB for a big
game between the two sides. It's another big game for KC as they need to win their home games to
have a chance at the playoffs. The Dynamo team they take on tomorrow is different from any Dynamo
team that's previously come to Kansas City.
