MLS: Setting the Table - Week 7
Man, the East is terrible this year.
Still early days...but I fully expect us to challenge for a spot alongside the Flameouts, the Red Craps and the KKKrew.
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
what TCM said. Much better than being at the bottom. Plus Sounders and Revolution have played the same number of games so can't creep ahead of us.

Still to early to see. We'll know by late June if TFC will be challenging for a playoff spot. The road form will need to improve to do that, or we'll have to win almost all of our home games.

and what was it, 2 years ago that people were making fun of how awful the west was? myself included.
What it shows is that 2 years is enough to change things completely.
Except for TFC...that takes 5 years.
WOW LA. Only 2 GA?
As much as I hate to admit it LA is a fun team to watch.
Gotta give LA credit, they are playing great (also they are without Beckham). I think it was only to years ago they were giving about 2 goals a game and they gave up only 2 goals in 8 games.
Good news for us then.Originally Posted by Whoopee
I wonder with the addition of Vancouver and Portland next season if MLS will expand the playoffs to 10 teams instead of 8.
Bruce Arena may be a dick, but he knows how to manage. There are a lot of Managers in MLS who know how to get max out of their team...

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

the playoff season is long enough as it is... at this rate, MLS cup final will be played in Dec lol
unless MLS is willing to play more weekday games to fit in more playoff games

Totally agree on Bruce. He is such a dick but knows how to get the most out of his team and he has a great grasp of the league in general. I was really hoping we would have been able to snag him before LA did. He wouldn't need 5 years to win.

One interesting thing I notice, is that we are one goal behind RSL for second highest number of goals for in the league, and that the vast majority of our goals against came before Preki perma-benched Garcia.
Things could be looking up for this group.

I hear Mo is looking to sign Garbagio as our 2nd DP.

I don't think he likes to dabble in Italy. I heard he's after the British striker "Duke Missington"
Let's hope he's perma-benched. I have a fear that he'll be playing against Montreal.

I wouldn't be entirely against that idea. Maybe bring him on as a 2nd half sub if we are ahead, if it'll help preserve one of our starters for the weekend.
Better to bring give him some minutes against Montreal, than Los Angeles, where he'd get taken apart, haha.
