Quick picks
Thank heavens it's a lite weekend for futbol this week, is all I have to say. I've got too much to do this weekend to spend it glued to the TV. Of course, it occurs to me that maybe listening to one of the games en espanol will inspire me for my Spanish class project that's due Tuesday.
Speaking of that, I just put my money down for the MLSLive.TV and for the audio streams. Yay, now not only can I be assured of getting all the futbol I want this season, but I can complain about the crappy screen reception or inaudible audio. Hah hah, MLS, you've been warned, part me from my money and I do become a demanding consumer.
Looking at the weekend's four games, I'll go out on a limb and predict:
NY vs. DC
Of course I go with DC on this one, but y'know, New York seems to have some tenacity that I wasn't expecting. Draw, draw, draw is what they do. Still, I think DC has gotten its grove, whereas New York has yet to find it.
Houston vs. Salt Lake
Let me just say that the whole brouhaha Salt Lake flamed up over DC Coach Peter Nowak's "hospital" comment just injures the credibility it has for making other cries of racism again. It's a whole crying "wolf" thing, and at the moment it would be pretty easy for me to snark off at Real and tell them that the best way to get on the board is to win a game, which they've failed to do so far this season. But racism is never something that should be brushed aside lightly, especially in this beautiful game. So let the investigation go, and let it be thorough, and please, heavens, MLS should actually be clear in the response. That said, I doubt that this is the weekend Salt Lake makes news on the pitch. Houston's looking to bounce back from the drubbing they got from DC, and I think they'll do it.
LA vs. Columbus
Awwwwww, I don't even think I can watch this one. I think the odds of longshots for the day are I can either win the lottery or see Colombus win, and I'm rather leaning toward buying that Powerball ticket.
FC Dallas vs. Wizards
Ooooooh, this is the game I get to watch, at home, with beer and chips, in front of my very own TV. I'm muy excited, can you tell? Will the Wizards keep their streak, or will FC Dallas take its third win? It's dependent somewhat on whether the Amazing Carlos Ruiz returns, but I'm not sure it'll matter that much. KC is king at the moment, and I don't think they'll fall here. I think a draw is possible, but I'm really hoping for a KC win.
And oh yes, so the MLS All-Stars are taking on Chelsea? A month after the World Cup? Ooookay, whatever. I recall being rather bored watching the All-Stars against Fulham last year, and I'm not so much of a Premiership fan that I'm slobbering to see the Blues kick some MLS butt.
