The fifth weekend of MLS action is upon us, and it comes with plenty of exciting storylines.
Even without several international players, the league continues through the FIFA window and presents enticing opportunities for some clubs that haven’t gotten off to stellar starts this season.
While Inter Miami CF and the New England Revolution have the week off, there’s still a 14-game slate to enjoy and a few matches that stand out above the rest.
Here are three must-watch games this weekend.

The LA Galaxy have not had a fun start to the season. Yet, with less-than-ideal results comes a weekend flush with possibility.
Head coach Greg Vanney’s team will only be missing two young rotational players this weekend and have their allotment of healthy first-team players as they face a call-up-ridden Minnesota United.
Last weekend, the Galaxy battled their way to a 1–1 draw against the Portland Timbers, and new striker signing Christian Ramirez netted his first MLS goal for the club after previously scoring his first in the Concacaf Champions Cup midweek.
The Galaxy also come into the matchup with a whole week of rest, after looking fatigued against Portland, having balanced MLS and Champions Cup schedules. That factor will only help them, especially considering their personnel advantage against the Loons.
