Columbus 38 Metro 35 Revs 35 KC 35 ---------- Chicago 34 DC 32 Crew have clinched a playoff spot. They win the East with either a win or draw over Chicago, or a Metro / NE draw. Metro get a playoff spot with: -- A win or draw over NE, or... -- Two of these three things happen: KC loses, Chicago loses, DC loses or draws Revs get a playoff spot with a win over Metro, or a draw combined with either a KC loss or a Chicago loss. They win the division with a win over Metro and a Crew loss to Chicago. KC's situation: They win or draw, or Chicago loses, and they're in. If they lose, they need either Chicago or NE to lose. Chicago loses, they're out. They win, they're in. They draw, they advance only if Metro - Revs doesn't end in a draw. DC needs a win, plus Metro AND Chicago to lose.
good work, obie. I think we will lose in NE but qualify anyway, with Chicago and DC missing out. Amazing the NE could still win the division with them playing like crap for 70% of the season. I don't like our odds going into a huge game, on the road, withouth Mathis and Howard, after taking 3 so far this year. How often do Metro sweep a team? No very damn often. Sorry for being pessimistic right now, but can I be anything but. This team is playing so poorly.
Our last 11 games (MLS only), just a recap. 4-3 win vs. NE 3-1 win at KC 3-0 loss at Chicago 3-2 loss vs Columbus 3-1 loss vs. Dallas 1-0 win vs. DC 3-0 loss at LA 3-1 win at Dallas 1-0 loss vs. DC 2-1 loss at DC So, in our big stretch run, 4-7. We are now 11-14-2. We were 7-7-2. There is simply no reason to keep our coach. None. As Bill Parcells once said, you are what you are. If you are a team 3 games below .500, then that's what you are. There are no great 7-9 teams, no bad 13-3 teams. There are teams who are good, and those that suck. Right now, we suck.
We could know by friday night if we qualify for the playoffs. That would make the game on saturday against the Revs much more lackluster, but i definately wouldn't be complaining if that happened.
