What's the biggest difference between Major League Soccer and the USL First Division?
The top six players on each MLS team. Take those away, and you basically have a First Division team.

Except in the cases of Chivas USA and RSL where you have a First Division team even with the top 6 players? :signrocko

(I am so going to get torched here if the Rapids fall on their face and give up the Rocky Mountain Cup...)

Actually, considering the CRapids have already lost (convincingly) to a USL Division I team this year, if nothing else we can be sure the cheetos and RSL have some company. So you don't even have to lose the RMC to look ridiculous.

It doesn't take losing the cup to make the Crapids look ridiculous. Or their fans.

Stop it. Everyone knows the Crapids don't have fans.

The MN THunder have beat as many MLS teams this year as Chivas.

Personally, I think JasonMa lives in SLC and just likes causing trouble.

He couldn't be a real Crapids fan. Of course, they found a coelecanth (sp?) so I guess there's at least one of everything.

JasonMa gives hope to Nessie believers everywhere.
