Nice. "I really wished all of these final four matches were going to be played simultaneously." Not me - I like them staggered so I can watch them all. Point taken, though. "It was great to hear the DC United fans chanting their team name immediately after Eddie Johnson scored his OT winner Thursday night to end DC’s season." True. I heard that too and it was pure class. MLS and its fans at their best on ESPN2 - I just hope people were watching. "I am, however, sticking with this prediction: Burn are going all the way." I do not believe in the Jeff Bradley curse. Not yet, anyway. Maybe on October 21st.
Every league needs a few teams that can't be champions. Like the Indians and Rangers in MLB, the Falcons in NFL. The Burn are that team in MLS. They can't win; it's in the script.
Ben, how on earth do you write that, especially after only 7 years of existence. What about the Revolution>? They seem to never be able to win anything. The Metrostars? What about the Galaxy being in the Cup finals almost every year, and never being able to pull it off. Why not them?
One of these days people will learn to take what Ben Reilly posts with a grain of salt. Not today, obviously, but one of these days. JMac
