Predictions, Anyone?

Unfortunately the Caps look about done.

United 3-0

10-0 DCU.
2-1 Chelsea.
3-2 Caps.

27-1 DCU
2-1 Everton
4-2 Phlyers

Goff,

Any chance you will get the overnight Nielsen's on the national ratings for Caps-Flyers on Versus vs. DC-CLB on ESPN2 for tomorrow's blog? I think they will be very close.

DCU 3-1
tie 1-1
Caps 4-2

1 million+1 - 2 DCU
1-1 Chelsea/Everton
4-3 in OT Caps

I predict BC (the elder Carroll brother) will get smoked by Gashardo.

DCU 4 Columbus 2
Chelsea 2 Everton 0
Capitals 3 Flyers 5

United bounces back

Chelsea wins (unfortunately), but loses on Tuesday vs. Liverpool

Caps sadly go down again - the only positive being we consequently get to see Olie one more time in game 5

DC 0 - CLB 0 (sigh)
PHI 4 - CAPS 2 (sigh)
Chelsea 3 - Everton 1 (sigh)

Overnights data, I believe, are only available for broadcast networks. Cable data from Nielsen (even "overnights" data) takes at least an extra day of processing -- so it would be Saturday or Monday I thin before anything would be known on the Versus v ESPN2 matchup.

I predict Chelsea will win, but it won't be Tim Howard's fault.

And as for the DC NHL and MLS matches tonight, I do think the DC teams will win them both, and there's a decent chance the soccer game sees more goals than the hockey game.

DC 3-1 Crew
Everton 2-1 Chelsea
Caps 4-2 Flyers

Come on United!!

DCU 3-0
Everton 2-1
Caps just lose i dont care about the score just lose!

DCU 2-0 Cbus

DC will win because they always do at home

Chelsea 0-2 Everton

Chelsea will be the better team on the day but Cudicini will let in a howler and either Jon Obi Mikel or Ashley Cole gets sent off after a challenge on Ateta in the box.

DC 2-0
Everton 1-0

Caps are done.

DC 3-0 - Gallardo gets a free kick goal.
Everton 1-0 - Tim Howard will be solid
Caps 4-1 Ovie Nets 2

Prediction: Alex Ovechkin will get booed for no explicable reason.

Prediction: Fans of the new Philly soccer team will be as horrible as Flyers fans and Eagles fans.

United 3-1

Everton 1-0

Flyers 3-2

Wizards sweep Cavs

Real Maryland 2-0

Nationals drop every game between now and the All Star break.

DC 3-1 Columbus (Emilio, Burch, Gallardo)
Flyers 1-2 Caps (Morrisonn, Ovechkin)

DCU 3 : CBus 1

Everton 1 : Chelski 2

Caps 2 : Phlyers 3

DC 3:2 Columbus

Flyers 2: Caps 3

Chelsea 2: Everton 1

The Pope 1: Ditka 373

In my dream last night DCU scored two goals, though I couldn't catch who, so I am sticking with my dream.
DCU 2-0 Crew.
Everton 2-Chelski 1. I don't care who scores but I want Everton to nock out Chelski.

DC 2-1
Everton 1-0
Philly 4-3

CLB 4 - DC 1

United 3:1 Columbus
Chelsea 1:1 Everton

Caps even up the series, I won't embarass myself with a goal estimate.

Put me down for yes and two hopefullys, respectively.

United 3 - Crew 1
Everton 1 - Chelsea 0 (title race over)
Caps 5 - Ph*lly 4

Damn, I forgot my Toffees were playing tonight and I'll be at the DC game. I can't believe I'll be missing one of the biggest games of the season! Grrrr...
2-1 DC (if Carvallo plays) or 1-0 DC (if Wells plays)
1-1 tie with Everton (Yak scores)
4-3 Flyers

Conditional pick... if DC plays this lineup, I say DC wins 2-1, maybe 3-1.

---------Emilio---Moreno--------
------------Gallardo------------
Fred--------------------Quaranta
-------------Simms--------------
Burch--McTavish--Peralta--Namoff
------------Wells---------------

If Tommy goes with pretty much any form of 3-man back line, DC loses 3-2.

If Dominic Mediate starts in midfield, my pick shifts to DC losing 3-1. If Mediate starts in the back, DC loses 3-2.
If Tommy tries to pull off the elusive Double Bonehead move (Mediate in the back, with a 3-man line), the pick shifts to DC losing 4-1.

Damn, I forgot my Toffees were playing tonight and I'll be at the DC game. I can't believe I'll be missing one of the biggest games of the season! Grrrr...

Live on Setanta (& Broadband) at 3 ET

Without Martinez in the lineup I see our defense struggling again, and allowing an injury time goal to the Crew for a 2-2 draw, with chants of "We Want Benny" and "We Want Josh Gros" heard throughout the stadium.

Since MLS,Fox Sports and the FCC now say that North Carolina is part of Ohio (or at least part of their TV market) does that mean I have now have to root for the Crew after 10+ years as a United Fan?.

I say NO! Screw the Crew! United forever and 6-1 tonight! (Thanks ESPN for letting me watch the team closes to my home!).....

Keith

2-1 DC (if Carvallo plays) or 1-0 DC (if Wells plays)
=========================================

I can see Carvallo letting in a goal that Wells might have stopped, but how would he produce one at the other end?

Don't be surprised if a few ErpFu aficionados come out of the woodwork, too.

DC 2
Col 1

Blues 3
Blues (mercyside) 1

Caps 5
Philly 3

If Chelsea score 3 in Liverpool tonight, without Drogba, Lampard and Ballack - I'd be very surprised.

Da Bears 98 - DC United 2

Kicking Ditkas 37 - DC United 0

DCU 2 - 0 CLB
Everton 1 - 1 Chelsea
Caps 4 - 3 Flyers (OT)

Nationals drop every game between now and the All Star break.

would make me happy :)

It's Merseyside, not mercyside!

DC United v. Columbus will be shown live in Argentina. Wow.

me too since they are playing Everton.

ooops..thought you said AT liverpool..not IN..RIF!

==========================================

Everton is based in Liverpool.

Have Mersey.

http://www.sportmapworld.com/map/soccer/england/fa-premier-league/

Er, ah, Everton's home ground is at Goodison Park, in the city of Liverpool and Everton is the home team today.

It's Merseyside, not mercyside!
==========================================

Even the pronunciation isn't correct, because real Merseysiders use a "zed" sound.

DCU 0 - 220 Columbus

I put money on Columbus. The pre-ordained score is:

Columbus 2 - 0 DC United

There are two football teams in Liverpool. I prefer the other one. - George Harrison

Bobf,

Everton is in Liverpool. Liverpool more than a club ... It's also a city.

Tommie,

Perhaps Bobf was expressing confidence in Tim Howard's ability to keep this a low-scoring affair....?

Prediction: Fans of the new Philly soccer team will be as horrible as Flyers fans and Eagles fans.

I hate Philly's fans more than RB fans already and they haven't started playing yet.

I predict I'll be drinking cold beers with the Barra in Lot 8 in about an hour.

Go Flyers!

DC 2-1; Schelotto with an assist.

I wish the Caps would win, but I just don't see it unfortunately.

4-2 Flyers.

4-2 United.

4-2 Everton.

Pope asked me to chime in hear. Apparently there is some confusion. As stated by my colleague, the score has already been determined.

Columbus 2 - 0 DC United. Although RK was correct. Schelotto will have an assist.

Haters of the womens' game, avert your eyes.

D.C. United & Washington Freedom Doubleheader at RFK Stadium

WAGS Night with D.C. United
Sunday, June 22nd
D.C. United vs. San Jose Earthquakes - 3:00 PM Kickoff
Washington Freedom vs. TBA - 5:30 PM Kickoff

I won't be following the Caps, but I will be flipping back and forth between 30 Rock/The Office and the match on the Deuce.

My prediction: DC 2 - Columbus 1

Freedom 4 - TBA 2
(This is the predictions thread)

TBA are sh*t this year ;-)

Associated Press, April 17, 2008
Washington, D.C. -- An area man is in serious but stable condition after a bolt of lightning -- from a cloudless sky -- struck him while he typed on his computer at 3:35 p.m. today...

Now you're talking, Joe Doc.

4-2 Caps
1-0 Chelsea
3-1 Columbus

And Finally...
Steve Shak makes his returns to MLS in 2009

Well, at least some of you got it right, but forgot the rest of the storyline come Monday morning:

Columbus 2-0 with Tommy being fired after the game.

Dude, at least put a name when you make such a prediction!

Which Argentine player do you think the Pope gave permission to use the Hand of God?

Emilio 3 - Columbus 0
Ovechkin 4 - Philly 3
Beckham 1 - Pope 1

Moreno give Emilio five goals that anyone could score blindfolded...Emilio hits three.

Perhaps we should entertain predictions concerning the total number of goals and assists scored by people named Moreno.

I don't make predictions about games I care about after several terrible experiences.

As a result: Everton 1:1 Chelsea

WNT Fan-

From what I remember of the United/Freedom doubleheaders, it was always a Freedom game followed by United. A lot of Freedom fans left when their game ended, and most United fans didn't turn up until right around full time of the Freedom game. Do you think it will be better, worse, or the same with United playing first?

Of course, it's always embarrassing when you make a prediction based on a game that has already ended.

United 2, Crew 2

Who besides William Wallace cares about Freedom?

That's a good question. In this case it may be moot because the sequence is dictated by the Telefutura (late Sunday afternoon) time slot for the MLS game. An early Sunday start would lose a lot of families of youth league participants. In earlier years, the doubleheaders were generally late Saturday afternoon Freedom games that led into evening United matches.

What, no coverage of the River match tonight in the Copa Libertadores?

I just wish I could figure out how to watch United's match from Monumental....

any word on Martinez?
Where is my inside information?
I've been hoping Martinez would at least start but if not man I should pull him from my starting XI.

Is this related to td's earlier post about the United-Crew match being shown in Argentina? What are the details? Is it being shown on a nationwide cable or satellite system, or just in select locations?

So I had my ticket for tonite's game at the Papal Mass today for a blessing (forgot my rosary). I hope it helps.

Go United!

Isn't it time to face it, DC United just basically stink this year.

YES! I got back from a work trip right in time to watch both the hockey and the soccer. Go CAPS!

Columbus 2-1. Gallardo a complete non factor. Emilio couldn't score if the other team left the pitch.

You have troubles.
