Well, we're a week late in announcing it, but here it is. Starting this week, Match Fit USA will host a season-long competition to determine the best Major League Soccer match prognosticator in the land.
Here are the (very simple) rules:
- Each week Match Fit USA will have a Predictions League post, with a list of upcoming matches and my own predictions.
- In the comments section, readers will predict the score of every MLS match for that week. Get your predictions in before the first game of the week kicks off. I may cap the number of players, so enter early.
- Predict the scores for the matches and receive 5 points for a correct score and 1 point for the right result.
- At season's end the winner will earn a fabulous prize*.
In the spirit of friendly, fun competition the winner will be able to choose between two prizes from my eclectic collection of MLS paraphernalia.
Prize Option 1: A soccer ball autographed by former Brazilian national teamer and failed MLS Designated Player, Denilson.
Prize Option 2: An officially licensed MLS T-shirt that proudly announces the New England Revolution as 2006 MLS Cup Winners.
*Sorry, Canada, only US Citizens eligible for prize.
Below are my predictions for Week 2. Enter your predictions in the comments section. Good luck to all!
