OK…I tried to help everyone out with four freebies during week 17, but alas it would appear that we are still hampered by the parity of Major League Soccer. The last of the SuperLiga games were all won by MLS teams, and those points definitely helped our weekly high pickers. Out of nine points available for Week 17, four was the best score. Well done to all of those who got to four. Find your results after the jump.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES
This week’s schedule includes a bonus game in the form of the MLS All-Star game. To make it a bit more interesting for this week only (and perhaps start a tradition), you can earn 5 points on the All-Star game. You can get one bonus point for only correctly picking the winner. But you can earn five points by correctly picking the winner and the final score. The regular season games will remain the same as always.
Lastly, the Major League Soccer website underwent another upgrade update makeover, and now the on-line schedule does not include TV coverage (with the exception of the All-Star Game).
Apparently, either:
- MLS doesn’t have any more TV coverage.
- MLS doesn’t want anyone to know which games are televised.
- Their web team is so fawning over Manchester United they haven’t realized their redesign is missing critical information.
I’ll let you decide if you want to check your local listings for more information. I included Direct Kick for all the games under the assumption that games are available that way, but with their web track record thus far, I am probably wrong.

I forgot to add that any smarty pants picking between “copy/paste” will take a 10 point deduction!!
And have to stay after school.
I work IT. I have to do that all day. It’s just second nature, so take pity.
Further: Damnit man, isn’t watching the futility of the Toronto FC offense against Motagua bad enough? LOL
