MLS Midseason Crash Course


...McBride in the 2006 World Cup


Real fast, I know most of y'all don't know (or care about) MLS, BUT:

-- Beckham and Landon Donovan's LA Galaxy were in first place most of the first half of the season, but they have allowed more goals than any team in the league -- it's not going to happen. They are losing grip and just go embarrassed by a fairly average FC Dallas team.

-- New England has been destroyed by injuries all season, yet they are unbelievably in first in the East. They are the Minnesota Twins, somehow they are winning when nobody thought they would be.

-- The New York Red Bulls are god flippin' awful. They are a disgrace.

-- Houston, the back-to-back champions started extremely slow...They are playing great soccer now and with LA slacking, Houston is going to fly up and win the West.

-- Columbus and Real Salt Lake are two huge surprises...They look like playoff teams in their respective conferences.

-- Brian McBride, one of the three best American players ever, is back in MLS once the Olympics are over. He'll play for Chicago and make them better, but it'll be too late.

First-half MVP: Landon Donovan...12 goals at the halfway point for a man we know as Landycakes for how soft he is.

What's going to happen: LA will fade, Houston will rise and Houston will see New England in the finals once again.
