I'm dumb.

Well those predictions did not go well. DC losing to Colorado shocked me, but the Rapids definitely looked impressive (though Herculez was not nearly as good as Dave O'Brien seemed to think). Speaking of Dave O'Brien . . . STOP SAYING SKETCHY!!! There is nothing sketchy about these games! He's so obnoxious! Where was Eric Wynalda? Why does Rob Stone have to do the halftime/pregame stuff? Mooooving on . . . FCD and RSL was a boring game from what I saw. Yes, even though there were four goals. That's what non-soccer fans don't get. Sometimes 0-0 matches are very entertaining and games with goals can be snoozefests. Any Mexican game is a snoozefest and I imagine they score plenty . . . lol. The result doesn't shock me, I just underestimated Jeff Cunningham (again) just a little bit . . . Columbus and Red Bull scoreless wasn't very surprising either, and Columbus looked pretty darn good like I was hoping for. RBNY has a long way to go. ChiTown over the Revs was the only one I got right, but we looked surprisingly effective. Tons o' chances - nothing in the back of the net. Twellman needs to get his scoring touch going because he blew way too many opportunities in that game. Dorman does look oustanding though, huh? Toronto getting crushed by Chivas shocks me. That's all I can say. The Galaxy and Houston going scoreless is Landon's fault from what the highlights tell me. He probably should've had about 8 goals. Where was the Houston O? Interesting weekend . . . decent start to the season.

Team of the Week: Definitely has to be the Rapids. A bigtime win in the first game with the new colors and new stadium, and with the referee letting them get mauled down the stretch. Impressive stuff from a team that had a lot of trouble scoring at times.

Disappointment: Toronto. Why is Conor Casey on the bench? That's LUDACRIS! Trade him to us! We'll use him! Score some goals . . . you have 4 good forwards.

Player of the Week: Sacha Kljestan. Looking good again, he led Chivas with a goal and an assist. He's going to be one heck of a player . . .



The Revs result, in summary, not a bad one. I figured a loss was coming, but watching the game it probably should have at least been a draw. The offense was surprisingly fluent, and Wells Thompson definitely showed some skills (raw skills, but skills nonetheless), and contrary to everyone else's opinions, I was at least happy with Cristman's stregthy fighting some guys off. Good stuff from Reis, Dorman, Larentowicz. Twellman needs to score . . . Noonan's backheel was nice and has me very excited for his full return, hopefully this weekend.
