Fair enough.
'Course damn Chicago is also in the way now too. And the Crew can jump ahead, helped by an extra game played. But let's look at some secondary positives:
- At 5+, we have the 3rd best GD in the league, behind only Portland and Atlanta, who each built their GD by destroying the Loons before they tightened up their defense a bit.
- Last year GD after 6 games was -1.
- We are 1 of 5 teams with an average GA <1.
- Last year we gave up 10 goals in the first 6 games; this year half that amount.
- Tied for 4th in GF, pending a possible drop below Minnesota and/or Columbus before the round ends.
Other note is so far we are completely un-streaky. L-W-D-W-L-W. Let's hope that changes against Orlando.
