The big game to watch for us this week is Saturday at 4 pm, TO v Orlando. We are fighting both teams for playoff spots, so the best result for us would be a draw. Barring that, I lean toward an Orlando win. It would keep them above us in the standings, but would bring TO back towards our pack.

Another important game is Saturday 7:30 Crew vs SKC. SKC is playing great and we are looking for the crew to lose.

Montreal plays Philly at 8 pm on Saturday, and we would like Montreal to lose.

We have a game in hand on New england, and they are off this weekend.

If all goes our way (other than a miracle win v the gals, which would be unimaginably huge), we can be at sixth place, two points behind TO for fifth.

Tom in Fairfield CT, with all due respect, it's Week 25.
I don't say so. The league says so. Click here.
Which brings up the next point.

...the next one. (Same link)

If City doesn't get a win in Columbus, it almost makes the TFC/Orlando match irrelevant for us.
The problem with looking at the to-date table is that Toronto and Montreal have too many games remaining. So, we could make sixth and then Toronto and Montreal pass us playing out the string.

It's the reason I flipped the table and started looking at MaxP.
Without a win tonight, City's MaxP drops to 55 with a draw and 54 with a loss.
That brings "us" perilously close to that mid-40s level that mgarbowski says the last playoff spot will settle.

Tonight's match is a must win.

My bad, Google calls it week 27.

Obviously our game is most important. That wasn't the point of the thread though

I got you. My only reason for bringing it up is because it's the first match of the week.
If City loses this match, the margin of error is almost non-existent.

I ran into that exact problem earlier this season.
I suppose we should be thankful Google covers MLS at all.
 
The Perfect Week:
- NYC beats Columbus
- Orlando beats Toronto
- San Jose beats DC (why the fuck not?)
- SKC beats Columbus
- Philadelphia beats Montreal
- Colorado beats Chicago (don't give them hope)
- NYC beats LA (East Coast, BEST COAST)

The current number their saying to make at least #6 is 43 points in the east. But thats at the very least and everything goes right, which it won't.

Yes, tonight and the next 8+ games, all are must wins. Tonight will be huge and very difficult.
 
Wow. I have no idea how the match will end, but San Jose is blowing SKC right out of their own building. 3-0 and it's only 27' in.
 
With the tie against Columbus, we will need more than our own team to get to the playoffs. Please Soccer Godz, may Giovinco break his leg.
 
Toronto vs Orlando getting ready to kick off.

THE MATCH IS BEING AIRED FREE ON MLS DIRECT KICK.......CHANNEL 739 ON MY TIME-WARNER SYSTEM.
 
Oooof. Ramos gets a straight red in the 36' for hard tackle on Morrow. For at least the second strait match Orlando is playing a man short for a huge chunk of the game.

What a mess this team has turned into.

I'm having a tough time listening to the announcers (must be that Canadian they're speaking), but if I heard correctly that's Orlando 9th red card of the season.
 
Not the most inspiring first half for either team. Toronto looks better but Orlando has had some good counters. Orlando definitely deserved better from the referee, the red was soft and Kaka's yellow was nonsense as well. Hope they can hold out for the draw. NYCFC as currrently constituted looks better than either of these teams.
 
While OCSC is struggling, I don't think we can consider a collapse automatic when I look at their remaining schedule after Toronto:

Home: Chicago, SKC, Montreal, NYCFC
Away: New England, Chicago, NYRB, Philadelphia

Three easy games against Chicago and Philadelphia. Two tough against SKC and RB. The remainder kind of mid-pack. Much easier schedule than us, and they get to play us in Orlando.
 
This league is full of crazy parity . There's no Real or Barca other than maybe the galaxy I fear no one . Trying to figure out relative strengths of schedule is a fools errand IMO no offense.
 
I agree.

IMHO things are what they are, but it seems to me Orlando aren't getting all those lucky breaks they were getting earlier in the season and now that it's caught up to them, they can't seem to handle it.

This is the second straight match Kaka seems terribly disinterested. I mean the guy has been non existent. Two red cards today, getting blown out for the 2nd straight week, Kaka a non factor...........I think they're in trouble.
