I'm a bit ahead of the curve here assuming the result of the San Jose/Mutts match. (I actually didn't mean to post this until I got the result, but I hit the wrong button.) Anyway, guess who's back on top! Code: Team GP Pts. PPG New England 18 35 1.94 FC Dallas 18 34 1.89 Chicago 21 36 1.71 San Jose 20 34 1.70 DC United 19 29 1.53 Los Angeles 19 28 1.47 Kansas City 20 29 1.45 MetroStars 19 25 1.32 Columbus 19 21 1.11 Colorado 20 21 1.05 Real Salt Lake 19 16 0.84 Chivas USA 20 12 0.60
This just makes me feel much worse about Friday. I almost wish I didn't go (except I only get to see the Revs live twice a year).
ok let me restate what i said earlier, it doesnt matter we are still on top and let me take the PPG and apply them to my statement about the east being superior east has 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th = 33 pts west has 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th, 12th = 45 pts not as big a gap, but still clearly showing us our division as better
Wrong approach. This was the underdogs' weekend. One chance for all the bottom-feeders to feel like they don't really suck that bad. Everything goes back to normal beginning on Wednesday. At lease we can hope so. Who wants to see Chivas USA play the Crew for the MLS cup?
OK, help me out here - that's relevant because... what? I believe we're dealing with apple stats vs. orange stats here. (Apologies in advance if this was a joke and I missed it. It's late and I'm tired.)
Interesting to me is that because of the number of games played, SJ actually have the potential to end the season with more points that Chicago. If each of those teams were to win all of their remaining matches SJ would have 70 points and Chi would have 69. To fuel the "which conference is better" debate here is the complete list of potential points: 77 NE 76 FCD 70 SJ 69 Fire 67 DC 67 LA 65 KC 64 Mutts 60 Crew 57 Rapids 55 RSL 48 Chivas
Let me re-phrase. I only get to see them LIVE twice year. I'd kind of like to see the full squad in all of it's glory instead the freakin' goats playing out of their minds. If you only saw the Revs twice a year, would the USL version of the Revs be the show you went to see? Let Bizzarro MLS happen somewhere else next year. I'm 0-2-1 going to HDC, it is getting annoying.
