Season So far

[acdc]

Well with each team having played 6-7 games already what are your thoughts on the current season? Which player has been a standout and who has been a bust?

I personally think the Crew came out of nowhere. They were competing for the final playoff place with Chicago last season but this season they're number one. Also the west is beginning to look really weak when compared to the east. (frankly, they should remove the conferences...). The team that made the most moves during the offseason, DC United, is off to a slow start. I'm not seeing all the faces meshing on the field yet. Also Houston's lack of offseason moves led to their bad....okay, terribly lame start. They should have brought in proven forwards and strengthen that backline. I really underestimated the Fire this year. I thought they'd be 4 or so in the east but they're 2nd in the whole league. Looks like we uncovered a hidden talent in John Thorrington, who I think should join the national team. TFC is off to a great start which i saw coming (offseason). I think the focal point of this season is going to be the offseason. Teams are going to question whether they made the right moves. We can already see that in Houston. Your Thoughts?

well according to MLS News (which I get on my cell phone) FC Dallas head coach has just been fired, as in RIGHT now. He will not be on the sideline this Saturday, more information as I get it.

[acdc]

well, considering they were number 1 on the west just a couple of weeks ago, thats surprising.

[tankfantry]

here is a quick look at the season thus far (before this weekend). LA is leading the pack with 22 goals scored but they aren't doing much on the defensive side of the ball giving up 19 goal second to only DC. The Fire are still in the lead on difference of + 13 (netting 19 goals while kicking butt on defense only allowing 6 goals thus far this season). Can Chicago beat Houstons 07 team on not allowing goals, a only time will tell.

[acdc]

whats the Houston record though.

[tankfantry]

17 or 18 during the season I believe.

[acdc]

Well, it seems like your record will stay for now. Unless we play unbelievably good for the rest of the season.

[tankfantry]

it could happen, the summer trasnfer market is about to start so the teams who didn't do anything during the offseason might make a few moves now.

[acdc]

we need McBride quick!! Chad Barret doesn't seem to konw what a header is so all them Blanco crosses are to no one basically.

[tankfantry]

This is a TIGHT table people...its going to be a race to the finish for those spots in tournys next season.

[acdc]

wow who woulld have thought RSL would be 3rd place. But basically even Colorado has a change at makind the playoffs. On the plus side......we still have the best goal difference

Where'd you get that table? I'm wondering if the highlight on San Jose means anything besides 'last place'.

I'm also really starting to wonder if the Supporter's Shield winner this year will break 50 points, based on how tight it is at the moment...

[tankfantry]

here is the current table after this weekends round of matches. To me it looks like the Supporters Shield might come down to the wire people...this could make for a great end to the season.

[acdc]

cool table..hey you guys are right behind us. congrats considering the bad start you guys had.

[tankfantry]

no kidding, think about where we would be if we had turned some of those draws into wins, but can't dwell on the past, got to keep winning, that way we can beat...I mean play you guys in the playoffs.
