Hooboy, you'd think with only two games there wouldn't be that much movement but that proved not to be the case at all. A huge 11 point gamble by soccertom on the road Galaxy land him Play of the Week, Weekly Cup, and even a slot in the top 10. A 5 point bet on NER rounded out his perfect week. Right on his tail was paulo, who's been consistently solid during the playoffs. He had big bets on both winners, and cracks the elite 5 at #4. Third place goes to another newly-crowned elite five member, guamster. 8 and 7 on the two winners got the job done. In fourth is resurgent jlo, who leaps 6 spots to #6, well in position for an MLS Cup Champions League charge. The biggest story of the week however is defending champion Jose L. Couso. Not willing to give up his crown without a fight, his 5th place finish jets him all the way to #2 where an MLS Cup blowout just might see him steal back to back titles. But for now it's still firefan2001 sitting pretty. Winning Div 1 promotion this week is Qdog. Well, the log jams for elite 5 and top 10 are so extensive I won't bother trying to do the math, but suffice it to say that everything is on the line in MLS Cup. So put on your thinking pants! *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: soccertom, for the bet of 11 on LAG over COL Weekly Cup: 1 soccertom 6.768182 2 paulo 6.454545 3 guamster 6.168181 4 jlo 5.772727 5 Jose L.

1 LAG NER Tough... Tough... Tough... Rapids sure did go after player and not ball. In doing so, team found difficulty in attack. This match can go either way. I aint seen Mr. Coby Jones and his crosses. Since... Well... Ah, forget it. The Indian Colts won.
2 NE LA Special thanks to Dred, obvious winner of the BigSoccer Prediction Administrator of the Year Award. Thanks to all for playing. It's been fun.
7 Lag Ner my supporters' only hope for a moral victory is a thrashing of NoSix. otherwise, they're likely to burn down our HQ, in what is becoming an annual rite.
Joining the NE hall of champs: 11 NE LAG (or whatever bet I have remaining) Dred, As always, thanks so much for such a fun time!
10 LAG NER I actually want the Revolution to win, but I just don't see it. By the way, I did the math. I can actually win the cup. But only if LA wins 5-0. Let's go, Galaxy.
We can only hope 7 NER LAG If everyone ahead of me bets on LA and the Revs win by 15 goals I could still win.
