    “According to the league, the difference for this game is that the MLS roster freeze is in effect. Once the roster freeze hit on Sept. 13, clubs are no longer able to sign new players.”

    Both.

    They've always bent the rules. As far back as the 90s, there were certain players (Carlos Valderrama) who would get away with certain things. Our guys would run up to the ref with torn jerseys and be told to shove it and play on.

    The game doesn't matter at all to us, right?

    I'd rather go with Stan Lapkes and give him the experience over someone who, assumedly, won't be here by Christmas.

    We could finish ahead of or behind both LA clubs depending on results from here. LAFC need help toncatch us, and we need help to catch the Galaxy.

    It does in terms of the overall league table and hosting rights for MLS Cup.

    LA Galaxy: 64 points and 19 wins with one game to play (@ Houston)

    Columbus: 60 points and 17 wins with two games to play (NE, @ NYRB)

    LAFC: 58 points and 17 wins with two games to play (@ Vancouver, San Jose)

    To guarantee hosting MLS Cup, the Crew will need to win the final two games and have the Gals lose or draw at the Dynamo.

    Once Miami won the shield and CWC pity bid. Rules can go back to the same for everyone. No need to screw the Crew anymore, Mission Accomplished.

    And people always wonder why we think everything is a conspiracy against us.

    We think that way because it's true.

    Losing twice to Miami during the regular season didn’t exactly help. I mean, seriously, we won’t MLS Cup last year, but there’s not a lot of data out there pointing to the Crew being the best team in MLS this year. And as much as some of us (me, for instance) liked to poke preseason fun at Miami’s geriatric roster, they’ve had an amazing season, much of it without Messi. Sure, MLS and the tournament organizers preferred that Miami be in this competition, but Miami’s performance (and our stumbles) made choosing them a defensible choice. Finally, I think we may be overestimating what the competition’s organizers thought about MLS’s representatives. It’s an odd collection of teams, with lots of minnows. But the real draw was always going to be the big UEFA clubs, followed (since the tournament will be played in the US) by the bigger Mexican and South American teams. Having Miami in the mix is a plus, but hardly a vital cog in the machine.

    The difference is we hadn't lost to Miami the 2nd time (yet) and winning that game in hand against Seattle would have put us in a favorable position to challenge for the shield.

    Not to mention we only lost the CL because the entire team got a mysterious stomach bug at the same time.

    I despise the fact that this is going to go down in history as one of the all-time sports “what-ifs.”

    What if we get a win and draw, and LAG loses their final game? It would be tied at 64 points. Is home field advantage based on goal differential? If so, we are currently ahead of LAG by 7 in goal differential. In this scenario, if LAFC wins both, it would be a 3 way tie at 64 points! We are currently ahead of LAFC by 10 in goal differential.
