Unless they go on a 7 game losing streak to end the season they'll end up with the shield at least, and hell even if they lose out they could still end up with it.

Right now LAFC is at 62 points. If the teams that are still in the Shield "hunt", here is the max points they can get:

71: NYCFC
64: PHI, ATL and SEA
63: MIN
62: SJE, and only if they score 26 more goals than LAFC does in their remaining games

Yeah, the Shield is theirs, despite NYCFC's best efforts.

Im gonna lmao if Galaxy miss the playoffs again. But with how close the west playoff spots are right now, anything is possible. Im still holding onto SKC squeaking in.

Edit, poo poo, forgot Galaxy and SKC play next week. And SKC will be missing a good chunk of players including Russell and Gutierrez.

That game was fun, wished Rooney hadn't hit the post at the last minute that would have been amazing. I was sad DCU didn't go for it a little more.

Also, I gave away my tickets to other friendlies so I don't know if it was the same for Betis and Marseilles but looking at a mostly empty Audi field made me think about how MLS and DCU are bad at reaching Latinos. Attendance to a poo poo midweek friendly aside though, didn't Liga MX get more viewers than NBA and NHL a recent year? Why can't we turn any amount of that into interest in MLS or DCU

Wish this league could figure out how to market to my community, guarantee you'd get more eyeballs on Unvision locally than Flo but... I guess that's not really the objective of the team.

I know the DU and Barra still have lots of Latin roots but man come sit in my section for a game or two, it is Lilly-white.

Reminds me of the Portland vs NYCFC game last year:
Posession 75% to 25% Ny
Passes 766 to 254 Ny
Final score 3-0 Portland.

Just a bunch of passes around the middle of the field by the fullbacks with Portland sitting deep.

Rapids looked pretty good versus Seattle and did a good job controlling much of the game. I’d like to see that game again with both sides at full strength tho.

Mostly this though (yes yes it won’t last):

I can't remember when I said it but I did say the galaxy are going to miss the playoffs. Early August they were 2nd in the west with like almost the worst goal differential in the conference. A one dimensional offense because they have a toddler as a striker.

That game was all kinds of wacky. A red card that was rescinded, a penalty, a non penalty, Zlatan and some of the Rapids exchanging harsh words...teams trading punches all night...good stuff.

Theres effectively no way to watch a televised replay of the game in Denver without a VPN and ESPN+. Its just so unbelievably stupid...I’d love to watch the replay because I know I missed stuff.

Meanwhile this remains a thing. :allears:

Thanks to Minnesota's loss LAFC clinched #1 in the West, could get the Supporter's Shield with a win (@PHI), NYCFC loss (SJE) and Atlanta loss (CLB).

Wednesday broke the Timbers way mostly. They have a clear shot at 2nd in the west but my guess is that they drop points with this 5 games in 15 days nonsense. Finish 3rd or 4th.

With the game in hand it would take losing 4 out of 6 to miss out on the playoffs for Portland, and losing at least 2 games to miss out on the number 2 seed. The teams above them are going to be dropping a lot of points.

San Jose has 5 tough games, @NY2, @Atlanta, Philly, Seattle, and finishing up with @Portland. It would take a miracle to get all 15 points, and they'll probably get somewhere between 4 and 9.
Minnesota also has 5 tough games, RSL, @Portland, KC, LAFC, and finishing with @Seattle. Again it would take a miracle to get all 15, and they'll probably get 4-9.
RSL has an easier last 5, @Minnesota, @NE, LA, Houston, and then finishing with @Vancouver. I think they'll get at least 9 points out of it, maybe 11-12.
Seattle has a fairly rough last 5, NY, Dallas, @DC, @SJ, and finishing with Minnesota. Probably in the 5-9 point range.

Portland has DC, NY, Minnesota, NE, @KC, SJ. Good teams for the most part, but all those home games will probably let them take 12-15 points.

Portland will be playing 2 of the three teams above them, and they will all be playing each other, cannibalizing points from each other. I think 12 points would be enough for 3rd, and 15 points would clinch 2nd.
