If you’re social life is seriously struggling,
at least you have the excuse that there’s a whole
weekend worth of MLS games to keep you home at night.
How do the Crew get blasted by D.C. United midweek and
then come back and beat FC Dallas on the road? MLS is
tough to predict, but many would argue whether that’s
the beauty of it or the problem with it. Is everybody
good? Or is everybody crap? I’m making my predictions
a scientific affair this week, but I’m not letting
you in on the formula yet? Try to figure it out yourself.
I went 4 – 4 last week and now sit at 26-33 on
the season.
Thursday
Chivas @ Galaxy: It’s really a home game for both,
but with it technically the Galaxy’s home game
you know they’re going to come out to play. The
Galaxy obviously LOVE playing at home and but unfortunately
can’t figure out a way to play a decent game of
soccer on the road. Galaxy 2-1.
Friday
Real Salt Lake @ Rapids: The Rapids have to rebound
after getting spanked by Chivas USA 4-1 on the road
and not let the worst team in the league beat them on
their home turf. Rapids 1-0.
Saturday
Wizards @ Crew: The Crew stole one on the road last
week and should find Crew Stadium to their liking against
this hard-to-figure-out Eastern Conference rival. Don’t
let me down Sigi! Crew 1-0.
Dynamo @ Red Bulls: The Dynamo are good, but I just
have the feeling that the Red Bulls might pull one out
of their ass (and no, I’m not smoking crack).
Red Bulls 2-1.
Sunday
Chivas USA @ FC Dallas: FC Dallas better answer to their
fans with a resounding win over a Chivas USA team that
will have spent a lot of physical and emotional energy
at the Honda Super Clasico just days earlier. FC Dallas
3-1.
Revolution @ Fire: No way the Fire is going to lose
at the opening of their new stadium, no matter how legit
the opponent. Plus, they have to make up for losing
to RSL last weekend. Somebody from the Fire better fess
up to how late did everyone stayed out the night before
last weekend’s game.
D.C. United @ Galaxy: Sticking with my new scientific
method means that I have to take the Galaxy in this
one even though I know they’ll be tired from playing
Chivas USA just a couple nights earlier. But D.C. can’t
keep playing this well for too much longer and the Galaxy
are at HOME! Galaxy 1-0 in an ugly one.
