BrySmalls Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Although it is billed as "The Rematch" Sunday's affair, will no doubt, be one of the best matches to occur during the MLS Season. Houston vs. New England in this budding rivalry. The defending champs vs. the best team to never win the MLS Cup*. Twellman vs. DeRosario. So who do you got winning this shindig, MVP, GWG and why?Houston 3 - New England 2MVP: Dwayne DeRosario, 1 G, 1 A - GWAGWG: Nate Jacqua (81')* nickname change pending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMcD Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I really am not interested in the MLS, but with the Red Sox winning the World Series, Pats winning the Super Bowl*, and Celtics winning the NBA Championship*, I do not want another Boston team to succeed, So... Go Houston!/*=at least according to ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 My first ever MLS game is actually going to be the MLS cup this weekend for work. I watch on TV a bit but never have made it to a game. I root for the Fire so I was really hoping it would line up, but unfortunatly it didn't.I think I'm gonna root for Houston. I couldn't begin to make a realistic prediction however.

I took my dad (not a soccer fan, but will watch if theres nothing else on) for his birthday to a game this year, and he loved it. He wants me to take him a couple more times next season.

This year I only managed to go to 3 DC United matches and they were off the hook. I think MLS Cup is going to be an amazing experience and I expect the noise, passion and pride to be phenomenal. I'm looking forward to it and am rooting for Houston (obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I am frightened by all of the correct predictions for a final score.Well, consider that it's soccer. The odds that only 3 goals were going to be scored is pretty high all things considered. Now if someone had predicted that the final score of Super Bowl XLII would be 40-18 and that were to become true, I'd be truly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 lol @ New England losing something. Also, lol @ ABC sounding all depressed when Houston finally won the game. The bias was so obvious.The only thing that saddens me is that the game wasn't long enough to overlap the unwatchable Falcons game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
