Another MLS soccer weekend is upon us! Week 10 is upon us and the card is quite stacked all three days. Here are five things to watch for.
This might be one of the best cards all season long. There were trades announced, injuries occurring, and now rivalries will be renewed. Bundle all these things with the fact that the standings are really starting to morph, and it creates an outstanding weekend of MLS soccer.
There are a plethora of storylines in every match every week. However, this weekend's stretch of games might be the hardest to narrow down to just five. However, I will do my best.
So, here are the top five things to watch for in Week 10.

5. How will the Revs be without Lee Nguyen completely?
Lee Nguyen has been traded by the New England Revolution to LAFC. How will the Revs cope with the eventual departure of one their recent greats?
The saga is finally over for the New England Revolution and their faithful! Lee Nguyen was traded this week to the league's newest team in LAFC. Both sides should be content with the deal that included Nguyen, picks, and money.
Now, even though Nguyen was not getting minutes for the Revs and the writing on the wall screamed that the trade was inevitable, it still is a good feeling for the Revolution to no longer have to deal with his antics.

The Revs do not seem like they have been playing distracted, or even that the Nguyen drama was affecting them at all. However, the monkey has been lifted off their shoulders. This could be the final perk to a great season for them.
They finally parted ways with the talented player. Maybe the outright trade was not as high as it could have been for the Revs to keep him out of conference, but there are intangible values to this trade as well.
It is all over and the burden is lifted for both parties. How will the Revs react and play without him even still lingering? We will find out in Montreal this Saturday.
