Coach Kreis vs. FIFA 08

So someone had a great idea early in the preseason, but like many great ideas they dropped the ball (bad sparky), so as I try to figure out how to get the video of these matches up, I will just post the results this week. Yes the great idea was to allow the xbox 360 to be the coach of RSL and see how our season would go with a video game system as our head coach.

Week 1 Results - So Jason lead RSL to a 1-1 draw with Chicago scoring in the final minutes of the match, well a Chicago goal in the last minutes also impacted the 360 result Fire 1 – RSL 0. So week 1 Jason takes a lead of 1-0 over the 360.

Week 2 Results – While Jason’s squad dropped this one 3-1, despite a great effort and well played match by RSL. The 360 had no better luck against the goats and dropped the match 1-0. So week 2 sees the season at 1-0-1 for Jason.

Week 3 Prediction – A reason for RSL fans to hold their heads up high, the 360 predicted a 2-0 RSL win. Who knew that RSL would double the prediction of the 360 and put up 4 on DC United while Nick Rimando got his first clean sheet of the season.

I will work on getting the video of these matches up for your viewing pleasure, if not I will try to provide a better summary of the matches. This is too good of an idea to let die.

I will post my week 3 MLS review (at least of the matches I got to see) tomorrow.
