Power(Less) Rankings
Its been awhile since I've posted on here but I'm serious this time when I say there will be regular updates. I'm graduating from college so I wont have any more papers to bullshit which means a lot more free time to blog(as a side note anybody who needs a writer or has a job opening in media in the NY area give me an email....*wink* *wink*) on all things futbol. So much has happened since I last left you......but I have returned and am bringing gifts in the form of the new "Power(less)" rankings which celebrate the best in MLS futility. So without further wait.........
1. Chivas USA's Defense - Ah how the mighty have fallen...........what was a strength for them last year now resembles that of the traffic cone variety. Seriously, anybody who allows Alan "Anti-Goals" Gordon to get two goals and an assist on them deserves to be relegated to kinderkickers to learn the fundamentals of defense. Hopefully their defenders can turn it around and stop looking like stationary barbershop poles and more like defenders.
2. Dema Kovalenko's Goalie Skills -
As he is a sponsor of this site I'm not sure I should be bringing this up but I think for a moment during the D.C. game this past weekend, Dema Kovalenko forgot that he wasn't a goalie. Although it was illegal I must give kudos to Kovalenko for putting in a better goalkeeping effort than Brad Guzan in recent weeks.
3. HDNET - I have seen soccer games in HD before and I must say that they truly are as my friend Ken would say....."the tits." But although the games look awesome does it really matter if no one is around to see it? I'm all for the league getting money wherever it can, but HDNET is like the island on LOST(without the hot chicks and crazy smoke monster) when it comes to MLS games, the highlights of which all but disappear never to be found again. Hopefully one day archaeologists will be able to discover the HDNET archives and show us all their footy highlights in their crisp high-definition glory.
4. MLS Fantasy - I must admit when I was in first place in my league earlier this year I had no problems with MLS Fantasy but after dropping to third after Landycakes goal orgy in the notsosuperclassico, I have a bone to pick with whoever is running this thing. While I realise that defenders haven't really become important in reality in MLS due to the buttload of goals being scored right now, why even have them in fantasy if they don't get points for playing like last year? I seriously would like to run a 0-5-5 but unfortunately its not allowed in MLS fantasy, and it would probably do me much better than getting -5 from my defenders each week. Also the importance of goalies is too much this year.........I seriously shouldn't be getting 80 bugillion points because bouna time pulled some ridiculous saves out of ass and Chad Barrett cant kick one into the ocean........but I digress.......I would be glad to hear from anyone with good fantasy tips.
5. Dario Sala's Goalkeeping -
I don't really have much to say about Sala's non save on thursday night other than the fact that hes on my fantasy team which probably explains my current standing. But seriously how do you let that go in?? I've seen old people walk across the street faster than that shot..........its not like he shot it with his left foot which has power but the accuracy of a Ben Wallace jump shot........he shot it with his right foot which is the equivalent of a potato pellet gun. Hopefully Sala will take some notes from Kovalenko and make that save next time.
