M.L.S. Recap: Just Wondolowski - NYTimes.com How many plays on Chris Wondolowski's name can you come up with? ¶ Wondo (the obvious first choice) ¶ Wondoful ¶ Wondorous ¶ CWow ¶ All of the above With two games to go before Major League Soccer's all-star break, and only 18 games into the league's 34-game season, the San Jose striker is putting Roy Lassiter's league record (27 goals with Tampa Bay in the inaugural 1996 season) in serious peril. Saturday night the 29-year-old Wondolowski scored a hat trick to increase his haul this season to a league-leading 17 goals (six ahead of Kenny Cooper of the Red Bulls, who is second) as the first-place Earthquakes rolled over visiting Real Salt Lake, 5-0, at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara., Calif., where the club has not lost in its last 10 games The Earthquakes (12-4-4) lead R.S.L. by 4 points in the conference standings, and with 40 points are No. 1 in the league. Wondolowski scored from close range and he scored from long range, with his head and with his right foot - the personification of the goal-poaching striker he has become since joining San Jose in 2009 after a trade from the Houston Dynamo (who coincidentally, had moved to Texas from California for the 2006 season, taking Wondolowski with them). Wondolowski, whose 16 goals tied for the league lead last season with Dwayne De Rosario, spread the credit around for Saturday's outburst. "From Sam Cronin, Rafael Baca, Shea Salinas, Marvin Chavez, Simon and Khari (Stephenson), all those guys were pure class," he told The San Jose Mercury News. It was definitely a team effort. I thought our midfield won the game for us. One for Le Toux Sebastien Le Toux had an immediate impact Sunday when the Red Bulls tied visiting Seattle, 2-2, at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. Whether that continues remains to be seen, especially since it appears that Coach Hans Backe plans to pair Le Toux up top with his doppelgänger, Kenny Cooper, and drop Thierry Henry into the midfield as the offensive traffic cop. The match was also the first in goal for the Red Bulls for Bill Gaudette, obtained last week to spell the injured rookie Ryan Meara. Until the Seattle game, Meara had played every minute of every game this season for the Red Bulls. The Red Bulls (9-4-5, 32 points) have only one win in their past seven games, but they moved past Chicago into third place in the Eastern Conference behind D.C. United and Sporting Kansas City. The Red Bulls have two more homes games this week: against the Fire on Wednesday (a 1 p.m. start) and Saturday afternoon against Philadelphia. Galaxy's Big Three The Big Three designated players in Los Angeles (8-10-2) - David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan - prolonged the Timbers" misery in Portland, Ore., on Saturday night, spotting the home team a goal before reeling off four unanswered scores (two from Beckham) in what became a 5-3 win. It was Portland's first game since the Timbers dismissed Coach John Spencer, replacing him on an interim basis with General Manager Gavin Wilkinson. After Kris Boyd gave the Timbers a 1-0 lead in the first five minutes, Beckham did what he (still) does best. Given oodles of space in the middle of the field about 30 yards from goal, Beckham unleashed a looping shot that left Troy Perkins rooted to his spot. Five minutes later, it was Beckham again - curling a wicked free kick past Perkins. After Beckham's double, Landon Donovan added a penalty kick while doing his Andrea Pirlo imitation. "The defending ... was awful," Wilkinson told The Oregonian. We had some key players not play as well as they could. I'll take the blame for this one. We've been trying to get through a lot this week. The players get a pass on this one, because it's on me.
