I haven't looked at the playoff schedule recently, but I'm pretty sure that if Seattle finishes second and makes it to the West Final they'll have a Seahawks doubleheader. So everyone should be rooting for that outcome just so we can have pages of people complaining about football lines.

Playoff schedule

Yeah...the Seahawks have home games on the 29th and 5th, so the only way a conflict doesn't occur is if they don't get the #2 seed and host the first leg on the 31st (which should be enough time to clear the lines too). No other problems for the rest of the playoffs though.

If the Galaxy gain a point and Jersey burns RFK down on Sunday (or we do Senators style for a 3-0 forfeit), DC will finish last in MLS, as is proper. Others failed by spending money terribly, others failed by building teams badly, others failed by simply not caring, but only DC United have done all these things at once.

ESPN is doing their equivalent of Multimatch 90 this Sunday, which would have a lot more drama if it wasn't mostly just seeding that was being determined. Here's my order of matches, in terms of importance:

1. Atlanta United vs. Toronto - Are this year's Reds the best club in MLS history? If they get a result on the road, then yes I'd say so.
2. Portland vs. Vancouver - :siren: Cascadia :siren: and all that, but these are the two best clubs in the West, and barring a draw coupled with a Seattle win, the winner gets home-field advantage up to the Cup Final.
3. San Jose vs. Minnesota United - Win and You're In for the Quakes against a team that, while crap, is still better than Dallas' opponent. Speaking of...
4. Dallas vs. Los Angeles - Once a shoe-in for the playoffs, the Hoops have stunk up the joint for months. Dare they lose to the potential Wooden Spooners?
5. NYCFC vs. Columbus - The Pigeons try to seal an automatic spot in the Conference Semi-finals with a win against another playoff team. Also, played at a different baseball park.
6. Real Salt Lake vs. Sporting Kansas City - The Royals have an outside shot at being above the Red Line, but face stiff competition.
7. Houston vs. Chicago - THEORETICALLY, both these teams could end up in their conference's top two.
8. D.C. United vs. RBNY - Only interesting because it's the Atlantic Cup, which means anything can happen. Say goodbye to RFK!
9. Seattle vs. Colorado - The Sounders are almost certainly winning this match.
10. Montreal vs. New England - Garbage time!
11. Philadelphia vs. Orlando City - Poop vs. Poop

I like that Columbus can not only bump NY2 out of the #2 seed, but if everything goes right they could drop as far as 5th. #1 and #6 are set in stone, but everything else could change a dozen different ways in the East.


In the West all 6 spots are still unclinched, but the most interesting will be the fight for 6th between SJ, Dallas, and RSL. Other than figuring out which of Vancouver/Portland ends up as the #1, there isn't anything else interesting going on. Both Vancouver and Portland are guaranteed to finish no worse than #3 and #4 respectively, so they don't have the potential of ending up on the road as the first game like NY2 can.

That's going to be tough since LA needs to win and DC needs a result (unless you guys feel like shipping 12 more goals than DC today) in order for that to happen.

I do believe in your ability to lose today though.

Right now Dallas has the #6 seed by a single point. Reminder they should have had that Orlando game forfeited and be sitting on 2 fewer points.

I have no idea. I also don't know why Chara got a card. I also don't know how this game is tied at 1-1 instead of 3-3.

Chara probably got a red because he's kind of a douche. Probably the same reason Dempsey got a red.

Edit I guess it was only a yellow, not sure why I thought red. He's still a douche though
