Dear JP Dellacamera,
It is impossible to wear a red shirt with a black suit and not look like a vampire.
All the best

America are you ready for the buckwildness* that will be the playoff editions of the SuperClasico
aka The Battle of Los Angeles#? For me this match up has got to be one of the highlights of the
2009 playoffs. I'm not a butcher but I do know this much: beef tastes better in October. JP &
Johnny know it to and drop a little science on how it might all go down.

Harkesy's putting his money on Seattle or LA to win the whole shebang-a-bang. I'm not sure that one
of them will win it but I could definitely see one of them in the4 final; aside from last night's
hiccup I think Columbus is still doing it big and no doubt have a shot at a championship
double-dip.

We haven't had one of these in while have we? Seems like it's been an entire season since we last
saw JP and Johnny Boy's Q+A franchise. Oh well, nice to have 'em back and going around the league
on an award tour like their names were Q-Tip and Phife Dog.

ESPN and Johnny Harkes with a look at Team USA and where their heads are at ahead of tonight's
closing qualifier. This sh*t is going to be waaay emo and I'm not talking about My Chemical Romance
or any other band of boys wearing girls jeans. I ain't gonna lie...if they don't get me in the
pre-game I'll probably be a beery, teary mess during the 9th minute.

Omar Cummings for MVP? Interesting. But if he's got a shot at it then his running buddy Conor Casey
has got to be considered as well; maybe they can both get it because I don't think one looks as
good without the other.

Can we do this again? Please? And with more of whatever these two were drinking? What I would give
to have Jimmy Conrad handling this.

Sadly I will not be watching tonight's drudge match between RBNY and D.C. United; a man can only
take so much footie-related failure in a 24-hour period (and I'm going to see Doves tonight). Maybe
I'll watch it on the DVR tomorrow if I RBNY somehow manage to display something bordering on
collective competence and pull out a shock win.

Harksey and JP answer questions from the email bag about Champions League, San Jose, Shalrie
Joseph, Confederations Cup and more.

Question one is there solely to remind us all that TT is still in fact alive (at least he was at
the time of posting). In the past two years there have been more chupacabra sightings than there
have been sightings of him on the field. If he stays sidelined too much longer he will slip into
urban legend territory; if you happen to know him, ask him if he's considered getting a hook for
hand yet.

Rob Stone, Johnny "I kicked it with SF at the Arctic Monkeys gig" Harkes and His Ginger
Majesty with the last word on the 2009 MLS Superdraft. So long college soccer, see you next year.

This week there should be 2 bonus questions. The first should be "How many celebratory shots
are RBNY's Dane Richards and Danny Cepero entitled allowed to have bought for them before it starts
to look like they are taking advantage?" The second is "Does Houston's (and New England's
and DC's and Chivas USA's) grossly overloaded schedule play a part in their early exits this year?

Feel free to agree or disagree with Johnny Harkes on the following:
D.C. United 2008 = A Bust
U.S. v. Cuba = 80's Babies on parade
Rio Tinto field = "almost Wembley condition"
Designated Players = It could go either way
Chelsea = Team to beat

Johnny Harkes thinks that the US mens national team still has room to grow. He says "we're
playing well, but we're not playing great." He is captain for life after all, so he may know
what he's talking about. Plus, he's bucking for more caps for Freddy & Jozy so I'm kinda feeling
what he's saying.

Thanks to everyone out there who has my back and tried to make sure I knew about the Altidore
transfer. I got about 20 "Did you know about this?" emails in the last 24 hours from
readers who were trying to make sure I didn't get caught sleeping. It's nice to know that like
Jimmy Conrad, I too have a posse.

No disrespect to Mansally and Davino, but when you talk about newcomers who have impressed so far
in 2008 I think you have to mention Adam Moffat. His stats aren't off the meter, but that guy's
just got something.
Having said that, what the hell do I really know about soccer compared to Johnny Harkes?
