Thank you Columbus, fuck you Montreal.
MLS Week 22 - 2018
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Someone somewhere speculated one the people Maurer was talking about having teammate girlfriend issues was Mix.
I would bet he may have been referring to JackMc. But i don’t know. Just read stuff somewhere that was equally vague. Point is, we are going too far to guess he meant mix.

TFC 6 points back from Montreal with 2 games in hand and players getting healthy
They are also 6 points behind NE with no games in hand. And 5 points behind Philly with no games in hand. It’s not impossible, but lots of teams to jump in the last 13 matches.
Personally I think today showed Armas' inability to properly take the reigns from Marsch If Marsch stays, RB have the supporter shield. But Today's match against the crew really showed how they're going to continue to drop easy points like that.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that ATL has the shield, as they pretty much have easy matches for the rest of the way.

The girlfriend theory is tempting, because it provides a ready explanation for mysterious circumstances. But given the others who have been in Patrick's doghouse (e.g. Lewis, perhaps Chanot), I was always doubtful. They can't all have been hitting on each other's girlfriends.
Meanwhile, we have this guy to look forward to in another week.

That's a must watch video. I am always confident at home, and we are better than Vancouver, but Davies is a guy who can single handedly destroy an opponent right now.

That’s kinda creating a false narrative since Toronto is 6pts behind NE and level on games, and also 5pts behind Philly and also level on games. Toronto has a bigger hill to climb to pass both oth those teams.
Toronto has a tough schedule too. But that's not what I want to talk about because when I went to their website I noticed that their photo collage makes it look like Bradley is holding his own severed head.

Is it really necessary to throw out "false narrative"? If so, I'll respond that this is also creating a "false narrative" since NE also currently holds a playoff spot and my post was in reference to TFC taking 1 playoff spot, and not 2.
Yeah, I get that Philly is 5 points ahead even in games, but it's Philly. It will be a tough road for TFC to grab a remaining playoff spot as they have a really tough remaining schedule. But to say they're down and out now I think is jumping the gun quite a bit, especially as they are finally getting pieces healthy again.
So. Toronto's schedule. They play Atlanta Away next week and in Toronto on Decision Day. Best case for us would be that TFC has a shot going into that game and gives us an Atlanta loss.
Toronto also hosts us, and both LA teams.They each get 1.45 PPG away.
Toronto is away to Portland, Red Bulls, DC, and Montreal, of whom Montreal has the lowest Home PPG at 1.91.
That's 9 of their remaining 13 games. They also have Montreal at home, and their games are always tough but it is at least a chance to make up ground. They have no games left against New England or Philly, and they basically have to overtake 2 out of Montreal and those 2 teams (if they can't get past Orlando and Chicago this isn't even worth a conversation).

If they can earn the 5/6 seed, they will be battle hardened and one very unlucky matchup for the 3/4 seed. Makes finishing 1/2 even more of a priority.

Apologies on the false narrative, but you grabbed only a small amount of info to support your post. They have 2games on Montreal, but Montreal still has the points, so there are three teams legitimately ahead of Toronto occupying two possible spots.
And I was going to post about Toronto’s murderers row of a schedule until I saw
mgarbowski beat me to it. That schedule alone is enough reason to count them out - they have far too many matches against the three best teams in the east and a few against the better teams in the West. And Mark was slightly wrong, they do have one more match against NE who plays very well on turf. Also grouped into their schedule are matches for the Canada cup and some other competition, Campeones Cup, vs a Mexican team, Tigres. I think they have their work cut out for them even if they play at their 2017 level.
538 projections changed dramatically after the NJRB and ATL games. RB went from the favorite to win the SS and MLS Cup to significantly less likely to get Top 2 seed than us and ATL. Now ATL 78%, NYCFC 68%, NJRB 52%.
Let’s see what happens to that after our Seattle match.
I did miss that. But the game against the Revs is in Toronto, and you can say the Revs they play well on fake grass because of their home field, but they won one Away game last year and one Away game this year and both were on real grass. Revs might win this game, nothing in their record away on plastic says it is an advantage.
I'm still calling Dome will rally the troops for our first ever 5W streak.

I forgot about the Campeones Cup. If I were TFC I’d roll out my C- team for that one. So dumb to play it mid-season (or even at all).

Goosebumps. Can you imagine if we had a stadium like this... Giving Villa a final send-off...
