I am a Dynamo fan in Houston, but I was so dismayed with the red card against Chivas’ keeper during the game against the Dynamo. For a game that really didn’t mean anything to the playoffs except keeping players sharp, the ref made a terrible call in denying Chivas their keeper for the first round of the playoffs. Well done for Chivas staying focused to pull off the tie at the end. Kudos to your team.

Frickin’ SJ. Can’t you hold on to a draw?!?

47 Houston (DD) 2 pts – 50 pts
42 CHIVAS (WD) 4 pts – 46 pts
36 SL (DD) 2 pts – 38 pts
35 Dallas (DD) 2 pts – 37 pts
34 Colorado (LD) 1 pts – 35 pts
32 LA (LD) 1 pt – 33 pts
30 SJ (WW) 6 pts – 36 pts

Now I am in the worst spot. I have to cheer for the (glup) Galaxy to win v. Houston. I think I am going to throw up! (Do I dare suggest that Galaxy would “throw” the game on purpose?!? Galaxy fans, what say you?)

If the Gals win, I would have to publicly apologize for insinuating that the Gals would do such a thing.

Either way, I think I’m going to be sick!

42 CHIVAS (WD) 4 pts – 46 pts
36 SL (DD) 2 pts – 38 pts
35 Dallas (DD) 2 pts – 37 pts
34 Colorado (LD) 1 pts – 35 pts
32 LA (LD) 1 pt – 33 pts

Nice job DC, I thought your current form would have lost to Houston, but you made me happy!
Guessed right: Chivas v SJ, RSL
Guessed wrong: Dallas, LA v Colorado, Houston

I might be changing my Chivas v Houston pick to a win for Chivas depending on Houston’s form this week.
Was I wrong about Colorado?

Wow, I was wrong, but at least in a good way.
I made a few adjustments (Houston beating DC & SL draw)

todays Team Games Season’s end
43 Houston (WWDD)8 pts – 51 pts
39 CHIVAS (WWD) 7 pts – 46 pts
35 SL (DDD) 3 pts – 38 pts
34 Colorado (WLD) 4 pts – 38 pts
34 Dallas (WDD) 5 pts – 39 pts
30 SJ (LDWW) 7 pts – 37 pts
29 LA (LLD) 1 pt – 30 pts

So far 0-1 in my predictions… I picked Dallas to win, not “salvage a draw”…

But the draw might cause SJ to be more focused next week against Chivas USA?!? Next week’s CUSA v SJ game is one that we need to pull through.

Thank you Alex…

I think the table might end like this…
todays Team Games Season’s end
40 Houston (LDWWD)8 points – 48 points
36 CHIVAS (DWWD) 8 points – 44 points
34 Colorado (WWLD) 7 points – 41 points
34 SL (LLDD) 2 points – 36 points
33 Dallas (WWDD) 8 points – 41 points
29 LA (LLLD) 1 point – 30 points
29 SJ (LLLWW) 6 points – 34 points

This gets wrecked if all of a sudden LA goes on a CRAZY streak, and I acknowledge this is a possibility, or DC plays the rest of their MLS games like they did in CCC.

Even if LA goes WWWW, they are only at 41 points, so CHIVAS USA should be safe with WW or WDDD.

Houston will have to drop a few points with a schedule like that.

Galaxy is low man on the pole and faces the crew and houston away.

San Jose has a tough run away from home.

Assuming 4 make it from the west, I’m guessing…
Chivas USA
Houston Dynamo
Real Salt Lake
Colorado
