on Saturday and simply given 3 points to RSL.

RSL still sits in second place in the West with a five point edge of the the teams tied for 3rd place, and now it is FC Dallas in sixth place just 8 points out of the final playoff spot.
FC Dallas has scored 5 goals in their last two matches, RSL has just a single goal scored, FCD gave up 2 goals in those matches, while RSL has given up 3. Perhaps the most telling thing is a rested RSL team lost 2-1 at Vancouver on Saturday, while FC Dallas played there on Wednesday night and picked up a 2-0 win ...
