Post-match: DECISION DAY! SEASON FINALE MLS MATCHDAY 34 CREW VS FY-URE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7th 3:30pm

Don't change the poll.

 

I'm assuming you're referring to the "less than" sign...

Either way

Voting with my heart on this one too

Massive Teams sometimes need Massive Miracles

 

LET'S GO CREW!

I'll be there.

 

I will gladly trade my Grouchy points for a hat trick from Lucas and playoffs for the Crew.

 

61 and sunny on Sunday.

Seems all it took to have home games with no rain in Columbus was to build a stadium without a roof.

 

I smell a draw...

( last three times I said that the Crew won )

( a Crew win indicates I do have cosmic powers )
and
( winning lottery numbers that will let me buy a remote cabin and live out the rest of my life in seclusion off interest and meme-coin investments )​

 

I was gonna wait until after Wed games, but eff it. Big game from Lucas (or not), we win and qualify.

I will believe in this team until there is no hope left.

 

Watching these CONCACAF league games makes me think we should have went with razor wire around the pitch instead of a roof.

 

I expect a dominant victory by the good guys. We have everything to play for and Chicago has nothing.

 

That's my prediction. That and the season ends when we don't get the help we need.

Even if we lose the first playoff game in spectacular fashion, we still have an extension of the season and who wouldn't want that? The counter-argument to missing the playoffs is a better draft pick, but that doesn't really apply to MLS like it once did.

Making the playoffs = good.

 

Maybe as a team, but a bunch of them will be playing for their jobs.

 

Worst possible set if results tonight.

Gonna have to beat Sh!tcago by 5 (or 6) to even get in with all the other results going our way.

I'm also reasonably certain that their contracts don't allow them to refuse to play a game. It could even affect your USSF players permit. You really just have to go out there.

That said, it'll be very interesting to see how enthusiastically they participate. On the one hand, they don't give much of a shit but on the other hand if they're now looking for spots on other teams they might not want to just lay down.

But on the third hand, why would you even play them unless there was nobody else at a given position? Even if you're bringing them along just for insurance, it can't make for a very cheerful plane ride or locker room.

Either way, what kind of idiots are running that team?

 

Crew by 5+. Lucas, Megabus, Pedro, plus Mensah or Williams score. Someone gets two.

 

On another note, I'd be interested in Calvo. 29 year old center back, an MLS All Star a couple years ago. He isn't exactly Franco Baresi but he's better than Vito.

 

It would take a GCGBAG-level of stupid luck to qualify for the playoffs.

It will be nice to beat Shitcago by 8-10 goals.

 

A goal every 10 minutes until someone passes out. Then one every five!

 

So, here we are. Porter knows the odds. He knew back in June that we had a 20:1 chance of winning the Cup. He knew those odds were no good and proceeded to poof a majority of the season to turn the odds around in our favor. We now have a million-to-one chance, but it might just work. I just hope Porter didn't come up short in his math and we're only looking at a 1:995,351 chance of winning the Cup.

P.S. -- I haven't been day drinking. I figure if this logic works for a British Knight, it is good enough for us.

 

Do I have this right?, to make the playoffs, we need:

Crew and Nashville win by a combined 7 goals

Orlando and Torotno win or tie

 

If the Red Bulls — who currently hold the final playoff spot — lose Sunday at Nashville and the Crew beat Chicago, both teams are tied at 47 points. The first tiebreaker is total wins, which both teams would be tied at 13. The next tiebreaker is goal differential, where the Red Bulls have a seven-goal advantage.

The Crew have already scored more goals that the Red Bulls this season — which is the third tiebreaker. So, the Crew need to beat Chicago, and the Red Bulls must lose to Nashville, by a combined seven goals for the Crew to surpass Red Bulls.

If that somehow happens, the Crew needs Montreal to lose or draw against sixth-place Orlando, as well as a draw or a loss from D.C. United (44 points) at 13th-place Toronto FC.
