These are Montreals games coming up... Not easy... at LAG, at SJ, NE, CHI, DCU. Hopefully they struggle and get crushed.
So one more loss or tie and we are out?Death Watch Update
I knew as soon as I saw the Starting XI, there was gonna be trouble.
Not necessarily on the pitch, but right here in River City. Turns out, both were true.
There's still a four game gap between the Top 6 and the Bottom 4 with precious few games remaining. On top of it all, City chose to make it more difficult by dropping three points. Now, the boys will have to hold on for dear life over the next two games at Yankee Stadium. The closest targets are Montreal and Columbus with MaxP of 59. They would have to drop every single game and City win every single match for us to overtake them. Plus, Orlando City is in the way, but that can be taken care of tonight. Here's the table.
Eastern Conference
1) 69 - NY Red Bulls
2) 61 - Toronto
3) 61 - New England
4) 60 - DC United
5) 59 - Montreal
6) 59 - Columbus
7) 47 - Orlando City
8) 46 - New York City
9) 45 - Chicago
10) 45 - Philadelphia
Western Conference
1) 68 - FC Dallas
2) 66 - Vancouver
3) 65 - Kansas City
4) 62 - LA Galaxy
5) 59 - Portland
6) 57 - Seattle
7) 57 - San Jose
8) 53 - Houston
9) 53 - Real Salt Lake
10) 52 - Colorado
As usual, these rankings are based on Maximum Possible Points (MaxP) for the season.
These point totals can't be exceeded; they can only be reduced by a draw or a loss.
You keep saying that, week after week. That's just mean.City chose to make it more difficult by dropping three points.
The math is mean. I'm a pretty nice guy, actually.That's just mean.
Well I never said *you* were mean. It's more the numbers that are mean, of course.The math is mean. I'm a pretty nice guy, actually.
So one more loss or tie and we are out?
12th. six teams per conference make it.Just remember we are trying to be the 16th best team in MLS at the end of the season to make the playoffs and teams 17-20 are all terrible whether or not we are one of them.

I think you can make a case for 16th, as all 10 teams in the West are ahead of 6th place in the East.12th. six teams per conference make it.
This is probably net negative for us because I suspect we need them to lose both matches and this probably increases the odds that they win on the weekend.Interesting bit from mlssoccer.com on Montreal = http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...r-drogba-ignacio-piatti-others-head-home-rest
They're playing in San Jose tonight, but Bush, Piatti, Drogba and a couple more players have been sent home to rest up for their next match. They're also playing tonight without Ciman who still has one more match to serve of his 2 game suspension.
