...if the teams we are battling keep losing. Last night DC United lost the the lowly Earthquakes 2 -1, with them sitting at 36 points and us at 38 the loss really helps us out. Right now the only real teams in reach of us are DC, Toroto, and Salt Lake. Losses by them really help us, and with all of us having played the same amount of games all we really need to do is win one of the next three, most likely.
With all that said to give us the best seeding we need to keep winning, we still have an outside chance at the top spot in the West even with our recent sad outcomes. We face Houston and can grab a three points from them (right now they are 5 points away from us). At any rate start winning an all this takes care of itself, otherwise we could be out.
BTW - Feddy's amazing goal from the New England game is up for goal of the week, go vote - http://web.mlsnet.com/sights/goal_of_the_week/
Actually, we don't play Houston. We're visting the other best team in the league - Columbus. After that they travel to KC, and the Sounders should kick the crap out of them. At least based on the team we saw earlier in the season. But KC fired their coach and have improved quite a bit. In fact they now have eight wins, compared to our nine. For the final match we host Dallas. They, too, changed coaches and sent Kenny Cooper packing. Now all of a sudden Jeff Cunningham can't be stopped. So as much as I'd like to think we should win our last two games, they aren't the gimmies I would have liked.
ReplyDeleteWow, I really messed that up, not sure what I was looking at but I switched KC for Houston...oh well. Lets just get a win this weekend and we'll be in good shape, especially with the Revs losing last night.
