Place your bets!

There is quite a rivalry brewing within my household. Red Bull New York versus D.C. United. La is from the DC area and I from NY. The teams hate each other. Historically speaking, DC has dominated the MLS and the Red Bulls.

This year is different.

Already in week 2, Red Bulls are #2 in the east (only because the Revs played one more game than RBs) and DC, a very sad and pathetic #6...out of 7. RBs 1 win and 1 draw. DC *whispers* 2 losses. But then again, it's only the first two matches.

It can't be denied that DC is a scoring machine. 99% of all the bloggers and MLS gurus have predicted them to finish #1 in the eastern division. Red bulls, 4th or 5th. But that's okay.

For all of you to witness, and to officially declare the conditions of the bet, I present the following:

Bet #1 (2 parts)
1) Red Bulls will finish the season either 1 spot under DC, or beat them.
2) Red Bulls will finish with more goals (including a handicap of 6 goals [1/2 the difference of the goals DC had over RBs last year])

If part 1 is won then........

UPDATE:
I didn't get to finish this post before the RBs match started. La is just finishing the last of the dishes from the bet she just lost, as the RB won YET AGAIN. They are back to number one! Still undefeated for 3 weeks!!!

As I was saying, if only Part 1 is won, then the loser has to buy the winner a piece of gear of the winning club. If both Part 1 and 2 are won, then the loser has to either buy the winner a jersey of the winning team (if I win) or buy club gear and a night out on the town (if La wins).

Bet #2
Whoever wins an aggregate score of the two matches that RBs and DCU have this season...
Ya know, we didn't decide the prize yet. That derby will be a lot more exciting! I have to admit, I'm a little scared of the match-up. We'll cross that bridge...

In other football news, both La and I bought season tickets for California Victory! I'm so excited. Got such a deal on them. I can't wait.
