Match Day 1: Another Home Team Loss on the Jets’ Field

It is bad enough that the Red Bulls have to play at Giants Stadium on the football turf, but they should at least use the Giants’ field. Everyone knows the Jets’ can’t win at home.

The Rapids had the worst goals-against of any team in MLS (49) and the worst ratio of goals-for-and-against (-13). But the stats aren’t all bad . . . thanks to Clint Mathis and Jovan Kirovski the Rapids have the highest LDL Cholesterol score in the league! Sweet Creamery Butter!

Melts in your mouth as it floats into the goal!

Christian Gomez probably won’t be named league MVP, because people will say he has too much help from United’s talented squad. But, he is the most technical player in the league. The other two MVP candidates would have missed that goal. Cunningham wouldn’t have made the pass to Jaime and De Rosario would have launched it over the cross bar.

Rating

Three (out of 5) dancing United players. (Minus one because the games were not on national TV and minus another for the weather at Giants Stadium.)
