[MLS REWIND: Week 13] A day after Italian Marco Di
Vaio scored a first-half hat trick for the Montreal Impact, Irishman Robbie Keane matched him with three goals in the first half and added an assist for
good measure as the LA Galaxy crushed the Seattle Sounders, 4-0. The game marked the debut of new acquisition Robbie Rogers, MLS's first openly gay player. For
all the weekend action ...
-- Jamison Olave scored in stoppage time to give the New York Red Bulls a 2-2 tie with the injury-plagued Columbus Crew.
The Crew had taken the lead in the 74th minute on a disputed penalty kick. The Red Bulls now lead Montreal by two points in the Eastern Conference but have played four more games. The Houston Dynamo
and Sporting Kansas City, which follow in third and fourth place, tied, 1-1.

MLS LEADING SCORERS:
G PLAYER
(TEAM)
9+3 Marco Di Vaio (Montreal)
9+1 Jack McInerney (Philadelphia)
6+1 Thierry Henry (New York)
6+1 Dominic Oduro (Columbus)
6 Claudio Bieler (Sporting KC)
6 Mike Magee (Los Angeles/Chicago)
5+3 Robbie Keane (Los Angeles)
5 Robert Earnshaw (Toronto FC)
5 Chris Wondolowski (San Jose)
5 Will Johnson (Portland)
As a Galaxy fan, I think Rogers will have a hard time filling Magee's shoes. While I can appreciate the historical significance of his return to MLS after his announcement ("My, aren't we sophisticated and enlightened!"), it doesn't make soccer sense.
