Well I dusted off the old crystal ball and made a few predictions for the West.

Any comments? Suggestions? Death threats?

It was Seattle-Vancouver that drew 25000, not Seattle-Portland.

The Timbers' success this year is very much dependant on how many players they get back from last year, filling the goalkeeper position, and whether they sign the few MLS cast-offs that they are looking at. They have alot of excellent role-players already re-signed, though.

Way to early to even speculate, I think. If they get everyone they are looking to acquire, they could win the West. If they don't, they could be well under .500.

But very difficult to say at this point. I think Seattle still has a big question mark with whether they get Leighton O'Brien back, too.

I hate it when I'm wrong. K-head I'll buy you a case of beer if I ever make it out West.

Things should be heating up in the next month or so that's true Allison. I wanted to try to post a story a week before the season started in full.

As long as it's not crappy Canadian beer!
