The Official 2015 Race To The Wooden Spoon

[NYCFCFan10]

Ah the 2015 Wooden Spoon race is on and last year's defending champs, the Montreal Impact, are well on their way to defending their title but I think the boys in Jersey have really built a team capable of challenging for their title. Of course, we have a new contender down south with Orlando City SC and we can't discount the tough Western conference producing quality contenders in San Jose and Colorado.

The race is bigger than ever!

Let's all have a moment of silence for Wooden Spoon perennial contenders: Chivas USA. Gone but never forgotten.

My vote is for Colorado. They are miserable. Montreal has some punch moving forward.

How many times did Chivas USA actually "win" it? I bet they didn't have the worse record each year.

2014- Montreal
2013- DC
2012 - Toronto
2011-Vancouver
2010-Chicago
2009-NYRB
2008-SJ
2007-Toronto
2006-Colombus
2005-Chivas USA

Just once, their first year.

My money is on Colorado or Chicago this year.

I didn't say they won it every year. I said they contended for it -- and they damn well did.

So what are you saying exactly?

Chivas USA did do poorly, but they actually did very well 2008-2010. In fact on average, several teams were much worse of their short history.

But of the teams still left, I think Montreal and DC will do decently this year, Chicago and especially Colorado look suspect. I'm not decided on either Orlando or even NYC at this point. Its a long season.
