Jeff Bradley Predictions

Picks the Metros as 8th this season.

8. MetroStars. This team would make quite a Reality TV series. Imagine, you bring in all these players from all over the world and watch, one by one, as the coach sends them packing until, finally, he picks out one. "The Playmaker." Obviously, the coach, my big brother Bob, has got a lot of work to do with this team and I get the feeling he’s sick of me asking him what he’s going to do next. Still, when the dust settles, I think they’re going to find a way to make the playoffs. And, if Timmy Howard, Eddie Pope, Clint Mathis and Jaime Moreno all play like All-Stars, they could be pretty good.

This is the same man who picked Dallas to win it all in 2000 and the Metros in 2001. Some authority he is.

That's why it bodes well for us this year.

Bradley is as much an authority as there is. His bad picks just go to show that nobody can predict how the league will shake out from year to year. I have a feeling Bob told him he'd better not pick them any higher than eighth or else he'd catch a beating.

He even admits in his article that there isn't much difference between #1 and #10.

I could just see Bob giving Jeff a mega-wedgie after Easter dinner with the family!

he claims the difference between 2 and 10 is slight. apparently LA is light years ahead of everyone else. i doubt it

Well, in 2001 we had everything to win it all. Had Cletus not torn his ACL, we would have won the MLS Cup easily.

Though Bradley did pick Galaxy to play against us in the Finals that season in ESPN the Magazine.

Don't forget Valencia coming up lame after two knee operations, one during the offseason and one during the season. Both were top 5 goal scorers in the league during the 2000 season.

The Metro weren't able to replace either of them when they both were injured during the 2001 season.

Richie Williams making a run into the box looking for service from Hernandez just didn't cut it.
