Looking back at how stupid I was

In the preseason The Score asked me to submit some predictions on the MLS season. The compiled the results of several "experts" and published them on The Footy Blog. Against my better judgement, here were my picks:

MLS Season

MLS Cup Prediction: Chicago over SLC (Hey, I should get some credit for SLC, right!)
Supporters Shield: Columbus

MLS Awards

MVP: Huckerby (I'm sure I meant "retired" rather than MVP)
Coach of the Year: Jason Kreis
Comeback Player of the Year: Gomez
Defender if the Year: Chad Marshall
Goalkeeper of the Year: Nick Rimando
Golden Boot: Donovan (I'm guessing no one picked Jeffie)
Newcomer of the Year: Vitti (umm...yeah)
Rookie of the Year: Cronin

MLS Over/Unders:


Seattle over/under 34 points - under
Freddie Ljungberg o/u 17 appearances - under
Fredy Montero o/u 8 goals - under
Kenny Cooper o/u 16 goals - over
Juan Pablo Angel o/u 14 goals - under
Guillermo Barros Schelotto o/u 16 assists - under
David Beckham o/u 10 appearances - under
LA Galaxy o/u 36 points under (Whoops)

TFC Specific Predictions and Over/Unders

Does TFC make the playoffs? yes
Who leads TFC in goals? Vitti (um, yeah 2.0)
Who leads TFC in assists? DeRo
Does Marvell Wynne finish the season in a TFC uniform? no

Dwayne De Rosario o/u 8 goals - under
Stefan Frei o/u 8 games played - under (Good God...)
Adrian Serioux/Kevin Harmse combined red cards o/u 3 – under (SERIOUX ONLY HAD FOUR CARDS LAST YEAR – ONLY 1 RED!) (<- That was me editorializing )
