The fact that we almost forgot about this again last weekend shouldn’t be viewed as wavering commitment on our part. Rather, we simply got swept up in the furor that came with the start of the Premier League season; we promise we’ll be better from now on.
In fact, this was actually an interesting weekend. The Galaxy hit a little bit of a wobble as they lost their cool (and two players) against Seattle, the Crew kept on going in spite of the fact that Schletto’s been sidelined for a little while, and Dwayne de Rosario scored his ninth goal of the season. All told, it was a pretty exciting weekend if you like your soccer with more exuberiant announcers.
This week’s results are after the jump.
Here’s how it all went down:
Two Yellows: 4
Magnakai Haaskivi: 4
Sculptor: 4
Adam: 3
thefuseproject: 3
Bluesfan: 3
Green Eggs: 3
jhawk90: 3
Kevin: 3
Rob: 3
jjf3: 1
The Houston-Real Salt Lake game and Galaxy-Sounders game seemed to trip most people up; on the flip side, just about everyone (including new reader and New York Red Bulls fan Rob) picked Chivas to beat the Red Bulls, which went according to the script.
Cumulative totals:
Two Yellows: 73
jjf3: 66
Magnakai Haaskivi: 60
Adam: 59
Bluesfan: 59
jhawk90: 57
thefuseproject: 55
Andrew Buchholz: 42
Kevin: 44
James Brown: 14
Sculptor: 18
Green Eggs and Fulham: 15
Ken: 7
geovanny: 4
Rob: 3
Now that the Premier League and Champions League are here, MLS has decided to revert to their ridiculously unnecessary midweek scheduling nonsense. It seems that the Galaxy is getting suspensions at exactly the wrong time, too; they follow an away game on Wednesday with an away game on Saturday. Meanwhile, Chicago has the best drawn “double duty”, playing on Wednesday and Sunday…both at home. That’s a little screwed up.
Either way, your full nine-game slate is as follows:
Los Angeles at Chicago
New England at Seattle
Los Angeles at D.C. United
Kansas City at San Jose
Toronto FC at Chivas USA
FC Dallas at New York
Colorado at Chicago
Real Salt Lake at New England
Seattle at Houston
