MLS Week 7 Continuous PBP [Multiple R]

After all the unpleasantness of the past week, for a variety of incidents and reasons, I'm looking forward to this week and having some new things to discuss.

I'm feeling good about my Rapids chances. No way Chicago can score wearing full body armor.

You look at a guy like Diego Chaves--if he were on the Galaxy or RSL or FCD, he'd easily be Golden Boot material.

The guy simply knows how to finish.

I'm so sick of this expectation that forwards be everything to everyone, from tracking back to playmaking.

It was the same way with Wondo, there was always a "but...", and there shouldn't be.

Chivas can't possibly disappoint me as much as RSL did this week.

But I know they will try ...

Ismitje, I am thinking it could be nice to have a quick turn around and have something to focus on.

100% agreed. Lets get it on.

Weather looks to be amazing for the Red Bulls game tomorrow. I'm looking forward to an afternoon of kicking a ball and drinking, and hopefully another big win.

WOOHOO... No more Kumbaya!!!! Can we go back to being rivals again?

Couple good games to watch this week.

Philly/San Jose should be a pretty good tilt.
We get to see how Seattle will look without Zakuani, and if they revert back to their early season form without him.
RSL/Portland should be dynamite, too. RSL coming off the tough loss going to Jeld-Wen. Could be a high scoring affair.

Looking forward to tonight. That could be a fun one, as well, unless the curse of FSC gives us another dreadful game of either a blowout or visual Ambien.

Portland-RSL looks like the game of the week to me. Portland has been highly entertaining at home, and its going to be very interesting to see how RSL responds.

I'm sure Beckerman will be in beast mode.

As if they would have missed the wedding even if the L.A. game was tonight.

+1,000,000

Fiosfan posted an article talking about DC scoring in bunches this year. I hope the trend continues. So far we have a bulimic pattern of binging on some goals, and then well, purging them?

Hmmm...in my brain the eating disorder analogy makes sense. Doesn't look so good when written.

Go DC!

Another cold match day is in the forecast for Colorado. Looks like a high of 45° with a chance of snow in the evening.

I'd love to see 3-4 goals tonight and 3 late games on Saturday woohoo!!

Yup. Not looking good at all weather-wise.

In better news, there are reportedly only standing-room seats available.

It'll be interesting to see how Schellas approaches the team without Ferreira available. Will they just plug somebody like Avila into the "Ferreira-role", or completely change the formation/tactics out there?

Trying to find weather that suits a MLS fan is like trying to find another planet that supports life. Talk about a Goldilocks zone.

Let's hope DC continue to disappoint knave (I have backed Houston) and we see lots of goals, no bad injuries, no red cards and plenty of good soccer.

Looking forward to seeing houston for the first time this season for 90 minutes. And I've pleased with the improvements DC United have made so far, so looking forward to a quality match in general

I can't wait until the CCL starts back up so I can root against FCD and the Rapids, due to you and Jasonma rooting for the meteor.......

Forgot to post my week 6 action. I'll post my week 7 wagers soon, thus determining who I'll be cheering for this week.

Week 6 action (20 unit max weekly betting allowance)

MLS 2011 (thru week 6)
Total wagers: 85.00 units
Total paid: 97.93 units
+12.93 units

I really want to see Najar play tonight.

I have a feeling he would be able to hit Charlie on one of his often missed runs.

DC United starting line-up, according to Goff:

Houston starting 11: Hall, Ashe, Hainault, Boswell, Freeman, Davis, Palmer, Cameron, Clark, Bruin, Weaver.

Koke and Watson are both on the bench.

Man, I don't know what it is with my dislike for Kyle Martino, but I just want to slap that smarmy look off his face.

Oh. That's right. He mispronounces everyone's name, and he's not a good color commentator.
