Summary: On today's edition of MLS in 30 Garrett and Jon ask (and somewhat answer) how Teal Bunbury's injury will impact Sporting Kansas City's quest to lift another trophy this season and whether or not Roger Espinoza belongs in the EPL. They also lock horns on Ben Olsen's decision to rest usual starters Dwayne De Rosario and Chris Pontius in the club's 3-0 defeat and take a look ahead to the midweek MLS matches and CONCACAF Champions League action including a general writing off of Toronto FC's chances against Santos tonight. Two fabulous guests get in the mix, with MLS in 30 going international for the first time in program history by chatting with Philippe Germain. In addition to being a real-life Canadian with a French-sounding name, he also hosts Soccer Plus and is the Canadian correspondent for World Soccer Magazine. Germain reveals whether or not he thinks the Impact will make the playoffs in their expansion season as they make a late push and explains fans' feelings about rookie coach Jesse Marsch. Next Matt Montgomery from RSL blog Under the Crossbar attempts to explain the recent struggles that have befallen Real Salt Lake. He takes a stand on whether or not the extra matches in CONCACAF Champions League play will negatively affect the club and tells us why the alarm bells aren't yet ringing in Utah's capital. All that, plus a homer pick for the "Best ______ of the Week" and the typical left-field comments you've come to love in MLS 30.
