Summary: Today's edition of MLS in 30 takes a look ahead to a busy week of MLS action - both in league and Champions League play. First, Garrett and Jon look back at the weekend that was in MLS and how the results affect the playoff picture. First, Michael C. Lewis of the Salt Lake Tribune joins the show to preview Real Salt Lake's CONCACAF Champions League match with Tauro FC in Panama. Lewis explains who the key player will be as RSL is without captain midfielder Kyle Beckerman. He also lets us know why the typical "Central American atmosphere" might not trouble the MLS side as much as it usually will. Next up is Franco Panizo of MLSSoccer.com and Soccer By Ives who talks about the contrast between Rafa Marquez's public perception and his perception within the team. Franco also looks forward to tomorrow night's match up against Sporting Kansas City that could go a long way in deciding who's the top dog in the Eastern Conference when the playoffs roll around. All that plus an encouraging "Best _______ of the Week" and your normal insight and analysis from MLS in 30.
