its back for yet another season... this year, hopefully with as much staying power as Chuck Blazer's immortal locks.... tell your friends and neighbors! This is your opportunity to make some picks and prove to your friends, teammates, significant others, the people who spend too much time looking up threads on here, or just the voices in your head, that you have what it takes to make some correct selections, and win the favor of the crowd (of other contestants) and hear the adulations ring down (usually in the form of my taunting epithets). Of course make too many picks and we report you to MLS for them to check your betting background and if you happen to have the phone numbers for the referees.... If nothing else, we need to prove that last year was a fluke and the management, in spite of their best efforts, can't really cheat to win - its all talent (and a lot of luck) Anyhow, the games works as follows: 3pts = correct pick and score 2pts = correct pick and goal diff. 1pt = correct pick; DPP = double points possible; BP= Bonus points game (not part of the MLS season, may include International friendly matches, Euro 2012 ties, Olympic bouts, women's matches, US Open Cup Matches, reserve team outings, or the number of times a United player misses a game for a concussion this season) And so we begin...

I try to keep telling the both of you that if your goal is somewhere in the middle, this can be better determined by drinking beers and looking at your own midsections. But I appreciate the attempts... oh yeah, we have new peoples this year too. Yay!
If you will pardon the cross promotion, I have a lot of slots open in my MFLS Division, which has been going strong for 10 years (this is the 10th year). Looking for like-minded United supporters to join. http://tbtrfa.wordpress.com/ We now return to your regularly schedule predict-o-rama

Heaps era begins with a loss. No navel gazing for me.
Full table/results coming when I get there but DCUSA is kicking some serious butt after week 1 - then again, I think the same happened last year. Presently in last place? yeah, we won't call it a comeback, but we'll call it a "come back and try better this week" Dougg... for the record, I'm third from the bottom thus far, so my usual kickbac, er, favourable selections have yet to hit their stride. I blame my usual pre-season injuries and the lack of reasonable goal line technology, and the refs, and Arsene Wenger, and Joey Barton, and Jay Heaps, and Jay Heaps again, and Jay Heaps again.
Week 2 matches screw it, no more Americanized listings we're doing this like the rest of the world HOME TEAM FROM NOW ON IS LISTED FIRST Saturday March 17 Montreal vs Chivas USA San Jose vs Houston Dallas vs Portland Kansas City vs New England Salt Lake vs New York Seattle vs Toronto Chivas USA vs Vancouver Sunday March 18 Philadelphia vs Colorado DPP: Los Angeles vs DC United
