| 20 Fearless Predictions for the 2004 season. |
| 5 and 1/2 points. Not bad and I could have given myself a bit more. |
| 1. East finish: NE, DC, Chicago, Metro, and Columbus. Incorrect. Cbus, DC, Metro, NE and Chicago. Ok so I got DC right. |
| 2. West Finish: SJ, LA, Dallas, KC, and Colorado. Incorrect. KC, LA, Col, SJ, Dallas. Again LA right, two for two on second place teams. |
| 3. Tim Hankinson will be fired and stunningly Greg Andrulis won’t be. BINGO!! (1 point) What do you mean Sigi got fired too? And who the hell is Steve Sampson? |
| 4. The US Open Cup will be won by LA, Cobi Jones will say they are the greatest team in US history. Incorrect. KC Wizards. Dang it. |
| 5. Landon Donovan will finally be MVP of MLS. ER no. Incorrect. |
| 6. San Jose Earthquakes will win the 2003 MLS Cup, beating DC United in the final. Landon Donovan will immediately announce he has been offered a contract by Liverpool, but being a big girl he has turned them down. Do we get points for DC making the final and for Landycakes getting an offer to go back? |
| 7. Taylor Twellman will lead MLS in scoring. Incorrect. Pat Noonan. We should get something for getting the right team. |
| 8. DeMarcus Beasley will be sold overseas and he will say “Unlike Landon I am not a big girl so I am going.” Corrent. Dang I am good at this. (1 point) |
| 9. Chivas (in LA) and Rochester will be expansion teams in 2005. Which means 48 players currently not in MLS will have to be added to MLS rosters next season. 1/2 right, so 1/2 a point. Expansion. Finally. |
| 10. Alexi Lalas will resign when Club America takes over San Jose Earthquakes, changes their name to Club American USA, and moves them to Houston. No. Or not yet anyway. |
