MLS Matchday 7 saw the Columbus Crew as the most recent team to grab the top spot in the Eastern Conference. On Wednesday, Columbus was also the center of attention in MLS as they acquired Philadelphia Union midfielder Daniel Gazdag in a cash for player trade.

Looking at the Western Conference from Matchday 7, the Vancouver Whitecaps continued their dominance, and San Diego FC’s hot start has put them in second place. Each matchday so far this season has provided significant storylines. Matchday 8 looks to continue that trend.
