Once again Major League Soccer has had a weekend of “surprises”. As Two Yellows pointed out last weekend, this is an exciting league because any team can win any game. Not a single person picked Kansas City to defeat Los Angeles, even KCGunner Wizard only picked “his” team for a draw. However, we still have a pretty good rate at picking on a weekly basis, with the weekly winner usually getting 60% or better. That held true this week as well, with four of our pickers getting five games correct. On the other end of the spectrum, there were three of us who probably should’ve just skipped this week as we only got one a piece. Read on after the break to see which end you were on…
