Missed the last round. What a goof. Richmond 1-0 Chicago Seattle 2-1 Dallas I guess I will need an upset special.
Sorry folks for not getting back on line for over a month. Have been away for all that time and got back had the earthquake and now the hurricane. I am back and am looking forward to the games this Tuesday.

Standings after Round Four Congratulations GOI17 for winning the Fourth Round and to CEEZMAD for taking the lead in the league. I could not catch diamonotron who did not even submit a prediction.

I will go with my heart and pick Richmond over Chicago ... I suspect that Chicago will send out there first team (ChiFire are in the running for a play-off spot but heck why not try for a fifth USOC title) and Richmond just had a tough go of it in Orlando and I hope will want to take the sting out in Bridgeview. Richmond 1 - 0 Chicago Seattle 2 -1 FC Dallas
Welcome back diamonotron ... I see I forgot to make my selections Richmond 2 - 0 Chicago Seattle 3 - 1 FC Dallas Why, I would like to see Richmond go to the final and I think that FCD had a tougher go this past week with the CCL (game and a half), then the game in KC, now up to Seattle. However a team like Dallas should be OK especially getting John back ... but Seattle just looks like a team to get an early lead and strike again on a stretched Dallas D.

With a chance to hoist a fifth USOC title, Nate Jaqua (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Jaqua) may be the closest to getting in the rarefied air of the great Billy Gonsalves ... not that he is a player of that caliber but seems to do well in this competition. Billy Gonsalves - http://homepages.sover.net/~spectrum/gonsalves.html: Eight U.S. Open Cup championships, including six in a row. Eight consecutive U.S. Open Cup appearances.

I am going to make that change so that any repeat player could win Buz (needs the score bonus points) and revolutionaryguy can make a pick and get some points.

Shit, I missed the simifinals , I would have picked Chicago and Dallas oh, well Game 39: Chicago Fire (2-1) at Seattle Sounders
Going for second place ... Seattle 3 - 1 Chicago ... I really like Seattle big in this one but it is a title game so the Fire will play tough.
Well since one of our two leaders are going to win just enter your predictions for the heck of it....
Seattle win 2-0, goals from former Battery players Lamar Neagle and Osvaldo "Ozzie, the Honey Badger " Alonso.
