This might be a stretch, but this is MLS so who knows.

I had to listen to the Chivas broadcast on Direct Kick and they were blathering on about how awesome Ante Rasov was and Christian Miles said that Rasov could be atop the goal scoreres table by the end of the seson.

Rongen corrected him and stated that it was way too soon to tell, that it's not like Chivas gets to play RSL 32 times in a season...

We made the men of cheese look better than they are, but there's no doubt they are improved. The biggest improvement is in the coach's box, where they now have one of the best in the league (he took the metrobulls as far as anyone could). Wonder how he gets his players to play so hard for the full 90?

LA is better than they looked in their season opener, but it's clear that the City Championship will be more competitive this season. And then there's the World Cup "break," where cheetos loses nobody and LA loses the player who pushed them to the championship last season.

They're looking at 8 - 13 games without Suarez for the World Cup. So it's going to be Regan and Llamosa during that time. WHo knows how well Llamosa is going to play this year at that. My money is still on them missing the playoffs and still on them leading the MLS in goals allowed with Guzan having the honor of facing the most shots.
