American Soccer Saturday Night, May 14: OPEN THREAD

Get ready for another American Soccer Saturday Night with us. The Dirty South Soccer crew will be watching games from all over the country. Join us in the comments with your thoughts on tonight's action.

Montreal Impact vs Philadelphia Union -- 5:00pm -- MLS Live

Acworth's Warren Creavalle has been a key part of the Philadelphia Union resurgence in 2016. They sit one point behind Montreal at the top of the Eastern Conference. Didier Drogba gets the headlines for the Impact, but the player to watch in the attack is Ignacio "Nacho" Piatti. His six goals leads the team and is one off the league lead.

Georgia Revolution vs Atlanta Silverbacks -- 7:30pm -- RYSA Soccerplex, Conyers

This is the NPSL season opener for both of metro Atlanta's teams in the South Region. The Silverbacks lost to Reading United 2-0 in the first round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup on Wednesday and will be without left back Kemar Brown tonight due to injury. The Revolution are coming off of an undefeated preseason and will look to continue that form at home in Conyers.

Louisville City FC vs. Saint Louis FC -- 7:30pm -- YouTube

Two of the hottest teams in the USL face off tonight in a King's Cup rivalry match. Louisville is on a six game unbeaten streak and is led by former MLS striker Chandler Hoffman (7 goals in 8 games). Saint Louis lost their first two games of the year, but are undefeated in their last five.

Columbus Crew vs Colorado Rapids -- 7:30pm -- MLS Live

The Rapids have been the biggest surprise in MLS in 2016, sitting atop the Western Conference with a 7-2-2 record. They head to Columbus off the heels of a midweek win over Sporting Kansas City. The Crew are likely still reeling from last week's collapse that saw them give up a three goal lead against Montreal, settle for a 4-4 draw, and see a rift explode which caused the trade of leading scorer Kei Kamara to New England. The biggest question is who will lead the line for Columbus right now as they lack depth up front after trading Kamara.

Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps -- 7:30pm -- MLS Live

The newly renovated BMO Field opened with a Toronto win last week. While reigning MLS MVP Sebastian Giovinco did not score last week, he assisted on his team's only goal. He has scored or assisted on every goal for Toronto this season. Vancouver has been erratic this season, but enters the match after defeating Chicago on Wednesday 2-1 with both goals coming from veteran striker Blas Perez.

New England Revolution vs Chicago Fire -- 7:30pm -- MLS Live

Will Kei Kamara slide straight into the Revolution starting lineup? They are looking for a spark with only one win in 2016. Chicago also only has one win this season, and has not won on the road since 2014.

Minnesota United vs. Jacksonville Armada -- 8:00pm -- beIN Sports

Christian Ramirez of Minnesota is one of the top strikers in the NASL. With the Loons sitting two points behind league leaders New York and Carolina, a win tonight is vital in the short NASL Spring Season. Former Silverback Junior Sandoval features for the Armada and will be important in helping them steal points on the road in Minnesota.

Houston Dynamo vs Real Salt Lake -- 8:30pm -- MLS Live

Joao Plata might return to the starting lineup tonight for RSL, he came on as a substitute in the midweek loss to Colorado. With four goals and four assists in 2016, his presence will be important for Salt Lake on the road. Houston has struggled this season to score goals, only averaging one goal per game. Jonesboro's Ricardo Clark scored a great goal in the midweek loss at San Jose.

FC Dallas vs Seattle Sounders -- 9:00pm -- MLS Live

Seattle is looking for its first away win in 2016, and also looking for revenge for last season's playoff defeat. Dallas is chasing Colorado at the top of the Western Conference standings and enters tonight's match unbeaten at home in their last fourteen games. Lawrenceville's Walker Zimmerman scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 over Portland.
