Here's some interesting Brimstone Cup related trivia from Hirdt's latest "Analyze This" column. Hirdt lists the matchups that have produced the most fouls over the past 3 years. Note how the Brimstone Cup apparently generates the most cards. Matchup............................Avg. Fouls.......Avg. Cards D.C. United vs. MetroStars.......39.5...............5.0 D.C. United vs. Galaxy.............38.7...............4.2 Fire vs. D.C. United.................38.3...............5.0 Fire vs. Burn...........................37.0...............5.7 Fire vs. Revolution..................37.0...............4.8 MLS Average.........................32.6................4.2 Hmmm. Now I wonder why the Fire and DC United dominate this list. Is it just a coincidence? http://www.mlsnet.com/content/03/analyze0925.html
