If we don't win this game then we've got serious problems. This Chivas team, right now, is so freaking awful it's incredible.

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin' me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers. I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party.
Chivas players have to be reeling. Terrible record aside, they found out this week they won't necessarily have a job when the season ends. There has to be no joy in Chivasville these days, and we need to win by multiple goals.
You know how this one is going to play out? We'll control the game early, get a dumb red card, eventually earn a draw, and the RSL twitter/facebook machine will brag about making playoffs for the 7th straight time.
Chivas will play one of two ways. Slow and not motivated at all because their team folded, or they will treat this like a tryout and play like a team possessed. RSL needs to put 2 or 3 quick ones in to deflate them early.
The only thing that impresses me more than your knowledge of the game is that fact that your predictions are always wrong. I take great comfort in both of these things.
A draw won't be enough to get into the playoffs if Vancouver ties or wins and Portland ties or wins. We need either item to happen to move forward with anything other than a win...
I don't have a good feeling about this one. This is one of those games we frequently drop points in. Might even see a red card depending on who's reffing I wonder what the lineup is going to look like. You have to figure this is the last chance to give anyone a rest. Not that we should risk getting that play in game by fielding the reserves.
Can't be worse than watching the Fire-Impact game. A complete snooze fest of bad passing. Montreal seems to think good defending is getting beat then grabbing the guy with the ball.
So I'm guessing Beltran's injury is a little more serious than we thought? Seems like we got our best available XI out there so hopefully this one ends up as a confidence builder. (we're going to tie aren't we?)
I think we win this one easy! Embratsu my ass. Good starting Eleven, up against a team on the ropes, with no future and nothing to play for, in front of 107 fans. If we don't win this we suck.
Also: we've never played a game like this before. We've never played a team with eleven losses in twelve games (the other being a 0-0 tie). We've never played a team with five goals in twelve games - a goal every two and a half games or so. They are bad bad, and with the club getting essentially contracted at the end of the month - it's as close to an un-losable game as there is.
3 Ecuadorian Internationals on the field right now. I think that's pretty neat. screw minda, even if he had a good world cup
