MLS Tournament Group D Preview

Group D

Comu

Team: Sporting KC

Odds: 4 - 1

Previous tournament performances: Final, semi-final

If he was a Star Wars character he would be: Palpatine – Nobody wants him to win.

Comu seems to have the habit of regularly qualifying out of the groups now, but just losing out to SpursBoy and I can see this trend continuing, surely he has to beat him at some point though? Not this time. As for the group it looks tough, but I think he will progress, just about.

Verdict: Semi-final

JAG

Team: Chicago Fire

Odds: 7 – 1

Previous tournament performances: N/A

If he was a Star Wars character he would be: That guy in that meeting who Darth Vadar chokes

Nice to see JAG sign-up a player I always enjoy player against not because he is easy, but because he always gives a challenge, not got him tipped to go through this group as I think he will drop points against Comu and Dog, hope to see him again in the tournaments.

Verdict: Group-Stages

FAB

Team: Seattle Sounders

Odds: 7 – 1

Previous Tournament performances: N/A

If he was a Star Wars character he would be: Luke Skywalkers mum

Fab says he has played at the tournaments before, but I can’t recall it, certainly not mine anyway, so this is his debut for me. Apparently Seattle are a really good team and this should stand him in good stead, but not enough to get him out of the group, I say this as newcomers very rarely do well.

Verdict: Group-stages

Dog

Team: Houston Dynamo

Odds: 5 – 1

Previous tournament performances: Group-Stages

If he was a Star Wars character he would be: C-3 PO – Helpful at times

Dog is the last person to actually take something off SpursBoy and this was no fluke he has the ability to do things like this and I believe he will show some of that by progressing from this group, but coming unstuck in the quarter-finals.

Verdict: quarter-finals
