Six MLS teams haven't yet clinched playoff spots. Please pick the two of these six that won't make it. Pasted below is the Sept 8 single table standings from MLSnet.com: Playoff Table Team GP W L T Pts SJ 26 14 9 3 45 MET 25 11 12 2 35 LA 26 14 9 3 45 DAL 26 11 8 7 40 COL 26 12 11 3 39 CLB 26 10 11 5 35 KC 26 9 9 8 35 CHI 26 10 12 4 34 NE 26 10 14 2 32 DC 25 7 13 5 26
As a bitter United fan, I have to say that this thread should have been reworded, "Which team will join DC United in failing to make the playoffs?" Those 51% who think DC will make the playoffs are insane. OK, I am just bitter.
If everyone voted for 2 team, then 50% would be a "perfect" score. Currently about 6% think they will make the playoffs. Note: there are an odd number of votes.
chicago will drop out, they will split the 2 game series with the crew and revs will continue their streak, DC and Fire out. They are the MLS bitches now!
Seriously, people, who voted for teams beside DC? It's a given that DC's out. Even the most optimistic souls have to agree with that fact. Heck, NE has a better chance of getting through...who would of thought of that?
Please note that you need to pick two teams. People are generally picking DC and one other team. That's why there are votes for other teams.
Interesting to see that NE seems to have moved down a little in the table since I looked at this poll last. People must be paying attention out there. Weird.
Logically, for the purpose of this discussion, it is foolish to put the Metrostars 2nd. Any team winning the division makes the playoffs because they won't finish in the bottom two. No one will make the playoffs by virtue of winning the division. It helps with seeding, but to look at which two teams won't make it, it is irrelevant. In this case, it gives the false impression that the Metrostars are completely safe.
Here is the official MLSnet analysis of playoff scenarios: http://mlsnet.com/content/02/weekly0910.html
The Metro Stars didn't help themselves last night, but DC did. Now DC has to win two games at home to get in. It looks a lot more possible for them, except that Milton Reyes and Ritchie Williams may not play due to yellow card accumulations.
still hasnt clinched the divison, and i dont think they will either. Fire will fight for the spot back in the playoffs, Mutts will have too much to handle with the revs. Revs win the divison, probably face the Crew in the playoffs, and will sweep them.
