It would be nice if the Timbers were actually playing Vancouver FC (TransferMarkt value 3.33M). Unfortunately, it's the Vancouver Whitecaps
(TM value 36.63M) :-/

I become Homer and pick Real Salt Lake and Philadelphia Union, in no particular order.

May the one closest to the sea, from which we all come from, win!

I need help from the Galaxy.

Quickie comments: aaargh, fell one goal short of what would have been an
epic comeback of a season. And Portland was a man up through most of the
second half.

Tier 2

4 6 3 7 -4 6 Mark

After an improbable sequence of four consecutive wins, milivella comes
back to earth with one point in his last two matches. Even a broken
clock is right twice a day. Werner escapes relegation, Mark falls to
Tier 3. Oh dear...


Tier 3

12 6 8 4 4 6 Jesper Lauridsen

Jesper was already promoted, Blueshirt can't avoid the wooden spoon. UPT
is tough going, better luck next time!

Cup schedule and fixtures to be announced shortly.

I'm only guessing each week, as I know fuck all about North
American soccer... in fact, I probably know more about the NHL
than I do what goes on in the MLS or CSL!

But guessing is fun... so I'll keep going! :-)
