Oh, I don't know. The Revs have outscored Chicago by a total of 10-5 in 4 matches this year. I'd say that gives us a slight chance against them....
The Revs have Chicago's number -- at least part of the time. The semifinal will be a brawl not to be missed. It will be played in Chicago -- with both sides of the stadium opened and probably filled with 25 to 30k -- so it will look good on TV. I would give the advantage to Chicago. I don't see either Metro or DC pulling rabbits out of hats next week; it's been a weird season, but not that weird. I would predict a Chicago-LA Final, with the first Triple Crown on the line. As a Metro fan I predict nothing for us till we get out of the Swamp. The place has been a blessing and a curse from Day One. A blessing, since it gave notice that MLS meant Major League even if 1500 showed up. We would play where the Giants and the Bears play; that's how we see ourselves. It was a smart move. But Metro has suffered economically at the Swamp, and, at this stage, 3rd class tenant status has lost the little lustre it once had. Harrison will make a big difference, because no matter how bad the season, we will still have a home, a place of our own, and no NJSEA goons. Instead, we will have our own goons. There is a difference. "'Tis a consolation devoutly to be wished."
