I'm willing to run this shindig since no one seems to wanna... I run an MLS prediction game over at the DCU forum and my format there is 3 pts for correct prediction (winner/score or tie/score), 1 pt for correct winner/tie. Also one game every week will be a double points game. The only difference is, I'll let each one of you guys choose whatever game you want to make a DPP. You dig? Jump in... You don't? Jump out. ------------------ First Round - June 12 Aegean Hawks FC (Arlington, Va.)

The Bucks really bring it when they get into the USOC, but the Kickers mean business every time they take the field. I was temped to give more of lopsided score to the Thunder, another really good club. GO Aegean Hawks!!!!!!!
Wow. Thanks for the kind words for the Thunder. Sadly, thus far this year it would be hard for anyone to call our boys a good club. If I weren't a Thunder fan making a total homer pick, I would probably pick Indios as a 1st round upset winner. Anywho, here are my picks: Aegean Hawks FC (Arlington, Va.)

I can't believe that 2 people have pick the Bucks losing as their DDP. The Bucks are playing great right now and have a history of playing well against USL-2 teams in the cup.

We are talking about the Richmond Kickers here. The defending USL-2 champs, a team with a history of showing up for these games. If it were some other club, I would have taken the Bucks ...
I agree that the odds are low for the Bucks to advance, but I think they have a better chance then say either of the two USASA teams playing USL-1 teams. I'm not knocking anyone for picking the Kickers to beat the Bucks, but I think there are much better options to pick for your DDP game.

LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS! I had it right, but the damned PK Shootout winner was wrong Miami FC 2(3):2(4) El Paso was the final score. But this one I got right. WOO HOO!
So let me get this straight. A grand total of one game finished 2-1, and in that one game I picked BYU to win instead of California? ARGHH!!!!!!
I got 12 of the winning 15 teams right. Missed on El Paso Indios, Miami FC, and Cincinnati Kings. No correct scores.
