Welcome back, everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are back in LA this Friday night as they take on the Galaxy.
For our breakdown of what has gone wrong for the Galaxy this season, check out our latest Match Preview.
In terms of roster news for Vancouver, Jayden Nelson is back with the team, while Andres Cubas (ankle) and Ralph Priso (suspension for yellow card accumulation) are both out. Brian White and Seb Berhalter remain with the USMNT.
Ok, on to rules and standings we go.
– Predictions will be ‘valid’ if posted HERE (or more accurately, whichever is the correct match thread) before the lineup is officially announced, usually about an hour before kickoff.
– You receive 1 point for every player you correctly guess to be in the Starting XI. You receive 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
– You get 5 points for correctly guessing Win/Lose/Draw, this doubles to 10 if you also predict the right score-line along with the result.
– All this means, if you correctly predict the Starting XI, Final Score, and Winner, you can earn 25 points!
– At the end of each half of the season, the contestant’s lowest two scores (or missed predictions) of that period will be deducted from the cumulative standings.

Slim pickings. Can’t wait to have our USMNT guys back! Sad that Kreilach has left us.

Surely the Whitecaps can win, even if the match is in LA on July 4th? Maybe it will only be a draw.
1:1
Hopefully I am wrong and the Whitecaps smash LAG.
