the decimals probably add up to 100% but all round down, that's why it adds to 99% and not 100%

You have to pick the one with a decimal closes to the next full number and boost that one.

1% chance of meteor wiping us out

what if they're all 1/3% ?? .33333333333333333% ???
What is the next best method for rounding if the numbers can't decide? Alphabetically?

There are a couple of REALLY good games on Wednesday night.

There are a couple of REALLY good games on Wednesday night.

Atlanta-SKC is one. I can't locate a second that qualifies as really good. I'm going to guess TFC-Seattle is your second, but with the Sounders sitting on 5 points in 7 games -- and lacking Toronto's CCL excuse for most of them -- that contest lost a lot of shine for me.

Yeah, fair enough.

Interesting that FS1 is doing a Wed night broadcast.

They (Fox) appear to be upping their overall coverage. This weekend they had Bundasliga matches on the mothership (pretty sure) both days. Probably trying to make their remote coverage from the US of European matches better than it’s been since they’ve decided to cover the WC in that capacity.

 

[LionNYC]

Yeah, fair enough.

They're just ramping up for World Cup nonstop multi-channel coverage.

 

[SoupInNYC]

Anyone else think that Auro looks like Giovinco's evil twin?

Both are similar heights as well.

 

[JayH]

Guzan with the red on Shelton. Guess he didn’t do his research on what would have happened had he let Shelton come at goal.

Sounders up 1-0 on TFC

I didn't give the Sounders enough credit. And TFC can't afford to keep dropping points, especially at home.

Meanwhile, Atlanta

 

[LionNYC]

Columbus 1 - Philadelphia 0
Toronto 1 - Seattle 2
Atlanta 0 - Kansas City 2
Chicago 1 - Montreal 0

Brad Guzan will be suspended for Atlanta's next match this Sunday at Orlando due a DOGSO red. Massive result for us in terms of positioning for the East. They are 2 points ahead of us with equal matches played. June 9th vs. Atlanta at Yankee Stadium will be a must win game.

Schadenfreudilicious on Twitter as Atlanta fans -- who have 7 PKs in just 10 games -- are whining about the reffing in the game tonight.

It’s comical. Complaining that Geiger has ref’d 4of5 home losses, but Guzan made his own bed with a violent takedown outside of the box.

Tweet doesn’t seem to be working but @ussoccerfeed put it up.

It's the clown show with those fans sometimes. How can they be complaining about that offside call on Martinez?

 

[Gotham Gator]

Also, I did not know that Atlanta's 2nd and 3rd string goalkeepers are out with knee injuries. That makes the Orlando game even more interesting.

Meanwhile, what got lost in Guzan's foul was that it was also studs up right into Shelton's leg. It's a red card even without DOGSO. I'd even be happy with an extra game for that foul.

What was interesting was how incredulous Guzan looked after the challenge when the Ref had walked up to him. It was such a violent tackle - one that sent Khiry, a not-so-small player, somersaulting into the air - and yet Guzan looked like he couldn't believe he was going to get tossed.
