Sounders tie FCC in a make up game last night and now are 5 points back of the last playoff spot with 2 games to go. Barring 2 wins and a lot of help, they will miss the playoffs.
General MLS Discussion
- Thread starter Shwafta
- Start date
They need to jump over 2 teams, and have 4 options.
For themselves, they have to win both remaining games.
Then two of the following four must happen:
- RSL drops 3-6 points
- Minnesota drops 5-6
- Portland drops 6
- LAG drops 6
Also Seattle has a +2 Goal Differential despite 4 more losses than wins. Only 4 draws. They probably have a bunch of 1-goal losses and 3-4 added draws would have put them in a much better position. It's been a tough luck season for them.
I stealth edited the quoted post . It originally said the East had a +10 GD when it was +1.
Interconference play ended. It remains plus 1. The season series is a draw on results, with each conference at 40 Wins - 40 Losses and 32 Draws.
East edges out the West on Goal Differential at +1.
Aaaaand apparently Josef wants to have a meeting with the FO as soon as the season is over. Remember the “king” who wanted to play forever in ATL? Wow how things change in a short period of time.
Last year’s SS winner misses the playoffs this year.
Seattle wins CCL and (probably) misses the playoffs this year.

If RB beats Columbus tonight we clinch the playoffs. But if we want to catch RB, we root for the Crew and take care of business tomorrow.
ETA: Added bonus: with a win tomorrow NYCFC clinches a home playoff game.
For certain definitions of home.
Hello Connecticut?

Does anyone know who has the current second longest playoff streak in MLS? Seattle has made it every year in the league, and stands at 12 years. Assuming we make it this year, NYCFC will be at 8.
Has to be NJ, right? They've crashed out of the playoffs every year for a long time.
Thx all. I thought RB missed one year, and I thought someone else was ahead of us. I also miscounted our total.
Look at all the big clubs in this league missing the playoffs.
DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, Seattle, Sporting KC -- those are teams that have real aspirations of winning and have won in the past. To say nothing of last year's Supporters' Shield winners.
That NYCFC is about to clinch its 7th straight postseason appearance is a real accomplishment. Some of the most ambitious teams in MLS are adrift this season, and some of them have been adrift for a lot longer than that.
Makes sense. They need to be in the same division as Atlanta.
I wanna see Columbus win just because then they'll be on 46 with the others on 45, and we're going to have ridiculous decision day drama, and me wants it LOL
Chicago winning means an automatic entry into the playoffs, and Redbulls lose or draw means we can leap frog then tomorrow with a win. This would be the best case scenario for results tonight
