    Wizards-Rapids game Friday

    Who's going to win? Gus "someone shoot me" St. Silva is calling the match. Diego is out. I think I'd rather see Colorado take this one.

    You DEFINITELY want Colorado to win. KC winning puts us in more of a bind than KC losing.

    So if KC loses, we're in with a tie. If KC wins, we need a win to get in, is that it?

    I wouldn't mind the whole "tie and you're in" thing if the game could be tied after 90 minutes, but with overtime, I'd darn near have a heart attack watching the Fire try to hold on for a tie.

    With DC already out, only one more team is staying home. The thing to ask is who (of NE, NY and KC)we want to avoid seeing in the postseason. If KC doesn't scare us, and I don't think they should, we might want to see them win.

    NY I would hate to see go in, it would make that management team last longer. Plus, they seem to be prone to petty thuggery as of late, nobody wants to watch that.

    NE seems to finally be doing something right after all these years, and with Twellman hitting the net, I'd prefer not.

    If a KC win means we're still in, then bring on the Meola.

    Of course, this could all be moot depending on Sunday's game. Last game of the season determining the last playoff spot in the league, it's getting interesting.

    We're in with a draw unless KC wins or draws and the NE-MetroStars match ends in a draw.

    I think the Rapids should sign Jamar and play him ASAP to guarantee a Rapids victory. :D

    At the Municipal game, Jamar was sitting right behind me. He was telling some guy the story of his tryouts in Italy, and he kept telling stories about people talking to him. Thing like: "Well, see, Jamar..." and " hey, Jamar...." He must've said his own name about 30 times in the ten minutes I heard him talking.

    Anyway, it just occured to me that there's no man crush going on here, Joseph is an alias. We're on to you, Jamar!!

    Colorado 1 : 1 Kansas City
    FINAL

    Metros going down... :D
     
  14. Quite contraire! MetroScum beat NE (sorry, nothing personal Revs fans). FIRE beat C-Bus. MetroScum slide up to the second seed, Crew fall to six, we move to seventh. Oh what a tonic for this miserable season, playing an Octagonal Zamboni coached team in the first round of the playoffs.

    If we lose, we're out. We have 34 points. The other teams we're concerned about have 35. If we lose, then even the LOSER of the Metros/Revs match advances.

    Damn, that didn't work...

    Due to their redcard problems, NY will be without Mathis and will have to rely on a backup keeper whose GAA = pi.

    Looks likely that the Metrostars' freefall could surpass the Fire's.

    The MetroStars would only be #2 seed if the combined margin of victory in the two matches were at least five goals.

    And the Metros score at least two goals more than the Crew if the margin is 5 goals.
