Mere hours away...


The Ben Cup will be decided in a few scant hours and I couldn't be more excited. Unfortunately, I will not be able to see the game live due to a work conflict (and one that is super lame, making it even worse), but it's set to go on the DVR and I'll try and watch tonight and have a review of RSL's Ben Cup title winning game for you tomorrow. And pics of the trophy that is currently being put together. And shameless gloating over the title as well, of course. Ha ha!

Here's a few last minute game notes:
-Harris, Kipre, and Wingert are all one yellow away from a suspension.
-Mantilla is ALREADY just 2 away from a yellow card sit. He and Kotschau must be best friends!
-All time series: 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie for both teams (thanks MLSnet game preview)
-DCU's Luciano Emilio leads MLS in goals with 18. If we give a hat trick to Jaqua, imagine what Emilio can do. The back line needs to play MUCH better tonight.
-DCU Ben (aka Brigham), if you read this before the game, NO text messages. I'll see it when I get home! Also, try and get some pictures!

Official RR game prediction:
RSL 2 - DCU 2
(Ben Cup goes to RSL with a 1-0-1 record)
Goals by Eskandarian (he WILL be motivated), Espindola, and a double from Emilio.
