About Brandon »

I'm a 20-something guy living in Seattle who loves soccer with a passion. I've been playing since I was 5, and though this would be something interesting to do in my free time. My favorite club teams are: Sounders FC, Fulham, Barcelona, Rangers, and Schalke 04. I completely despise/loathe: Portland Timbers, Chelsea, Real Madrid. As far as national sides go, I support the US, Netherlands, and Cameroon. Hit me up :)

Brandon -

Would you like to be my guest prognosticator this week? Here's the games I'll need scores fore by Thursday morning:

Dynamo at FC Dallas
Galaxy at Revs
Crew at Quakes
Sounders at RSL
Chivas at Rapids
Fire at Dynamo (GotW)

Any additional commentary will hopefully make the column as well (as you saw with last week).

Thanks!

If you like the NASL look at this site it's great for retro footie shirts including Sounders.

Hey great stuff. We need more quality, researched MLS writers on this site.

My MLS Week 18 preview is up, this time with Joe G as guest prognosticator: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/218776-mls-week-18-preview-becks-overshadows-west-east-confrontation. Will the Galaxy be the team to watch for the rest of the year?

Please leave your thoughts, and do let me know if you'd like to guest prognosticate in the future. It would be fun to wage picks against other MLS writers on B/R.
