2011 MLS season: 11 Outrageous Predictions for the upcoming season

One month from today, the 2011 MLS season will kick off.

As hard as it is to believe the league is still surviving this far in, given its structure, the 17th season will begin March 19 with the Seattle Sounders (once again) hosting the Los Angeles Galaxy. No brainer there, nothing better than showpiece your opening match in front of 40,000 passionate fans with the glitter players of Landon Donovan, David Beckham, along with fan favorites Freddy Montero, Kasey Keller and Steve Zakuani.

Some predictions like the one above are easy, but predicting teams' outcomes as well as Cup outcomes come down to figuring out what teams care about what tournaments and just simply throwing drawing names out of a hat.

Alright, it was not that difficult, and this year might be the season with the most disparity in MLS, which actually might be relishing, to hardcore fans at least.

Evidently, mine is Mason, and they're the final school I have yet to hear from of the five colleges I applied to. So far, I have been accepted into every other school I applied to, and it would be a nice finishing touch to get admitted into the fifth and final school: Mason.

MLS Supporters Shield vs. MLS Cup: Backe considers Cup secondary to Shield

The common, collective goal amongst Major League Soccer clubs is usually the same season-in and season-out: win the MLS Cup, the award given to the champions of MLS for that year.

For Hans Backe and Red Bull New York, the tables have turned. This morning, in an interview with the New York Post, Backe declared that New York's primary goal entering 2011 will be to win the MLS Supporters' Shield, winning the Cup is nothing more than a "nice edition".
