I agree After seeing the Thunder disantle the Portland Timbers, I can't argue with this. Some of us actually booed our own team it was so bad. This was the best team I've seen visit Portland.
best in the league? every team in the league has games in hand on you, PLUS you play a weak western conference schedule.... best in the league? right
Re: best in the league? Every team? Less than 1/2 isn't every. 3 teams have even played more. As for percieved weaknesses, we'll just have to wait for some more interconference play beside MN casting aside Syracuse 4-2. Beside, if an expansion team like Syracuse is doing so well, how tough can the East be? ;-)
3 of their 4 wins came against the 2 basement teams of the east [toronto and charlotte]. We beat um in cuse 2-0, but they came back to win here 2-1 in a down pour. Not making excuses, but their win here was very lucky, and if you were there, then you'd know why. I thought for a moment that the thunder had played 9 games, rather than 8.
Minnesota seems quality so far, can't argue with that. Charleston got dismantled by VB who are now starting to struggle a bit. At least you two can settle your score on the pitch rather than theorize about who's better...
