This is it. The end of the Spring season. #1 Cosmos are on a bye. They will probably win the Spring title which means automatically hosting one of the semifinals in the playoffs this fall. #2 Indy hosts #5 Carolina. Indy can take over 1st with a three goal win if they also score 4. That would even the first two tie-breakers with the Cosmos so it would go to head-to-head which Indy owns. So 4-1 would do it. #3 Tampa Bay is at #11 Jacksonville. The Rowdies need to win by 5 to catch the Cosmos on the first two tie-breakers but they really need to score 6 since they lost to the Cosmos. So 6-1 is the goal for them. #4 Fort Lauderdale is at #6 Edmonton on Sunday. The Strikers need to win by 6 goals which would also take care of total goals. So 6-0 would work. The rest of the games are teams fighting for points for the overall season.

We really didn't deserve it after that loss to the Strikers. I'm glad to see the Indy 11 fans rewarded for their support.
