Proof positive that DC United is going to win the 2002 MLS Cup

[Knave]

And they're going to do it by beating Los Angeles - yet again!

Here's how I know this ...

I clicked on the View New Posts (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=getnew) link and noticed a thread on the rivalry board titled "OFFICIAL - "Who's going to punt LA out of the playoffs this year?" thread". Well, who can resist a thread like that?

On that thread I saw this post ...

1996 dc - dc wins the Cup Final 3-2. Campos coughed up a hairball and a rebound that Pope put in for the winner in OT...oops.

1997 DAL - Underdog and lower seeded Dallas wins Game 1 in LA and kicks LA's butt all over the Cotton Bowl in a 3-0 win and a first round 2-game sweep.

1998 CHI - Once again favored LA bends over in their own house and loses to the Fire 1-0 before getting swept on the return trip to Chicago

1999 dc again - One more time in a final LA can't handle dc. This time it's Moreno and "young" Benny Olsen plant the boot in LA's backside

2000 KC - LA's inability to beat Meola or contain Miklos Molnar in both Game 3 and the mini-game decider ends LA pipe dreams. For the fifth year in a row LA has a long tearful plane flight home. At least they should be getting good at it by now.

2001 SJ - Three finals, three losses. Six playoffs, six red-eyes to LAX. This time to the previously worthless Quakes. DeRosario's OT Cup-winner doing the honors. Only LA could give birth to the desease that is "Quake-pride" Thanks loads LA.

2002 ? - Who will they submit to this year?

I was looking at that post - and looking and looking and then I saw it ...

Year ---- Team that ends LA's playoff run

1996 ---- DC
1997 ---- DA
1998 ---- CH
1999 ---- DC
2000 ---- KC
2001 ---- SJ
2002 ---- ??

Isn't it obvious? Look at the pattern. Every three years DC United defeats LA in the final.

So no worries from here on out. You can't argue with fate.

Right?

Are you nuts?














LA ain't making the final.

Not to mention, we're still the only team to lift the MLS Cup in Foxboro. And we beat LA both times.

Come on. You can't be serious!


















No way they hold us to 8 goals.

Knave you are nuts; certifiable.






United will beat LA this year in the first round.

To the immortal tune "West Virginia" sung by John Denver (was not his real last name) and written by someone else:

Foxboro, In the Fall
That's the Place We'll Win It All
D-C United, We'll Beat LA
Once Again, At Foxboro

I did that especially for you Dave, as I know how much you LOVE John Denver. Just give me a minute and I'll come up with one to Gramma's Featherbed.

Plus, United has never lost a playoff SERIES.

Just thought I'd throw out that little nugget.

As long as you stay away from Annie's Song...

And crash in the goalmouth"

Where's that gun I asked for?!

You're welcome!

I actually got the song title wrong: I'm pretty sure that it's "Country Road."

Glad to help,
