Need to finish 4 points better than NYRB the rest of the way, or score a shitload of goals and finish 3 points better than them to make the playoffs.

That, of course, is taking Portland out of consideration (which I shouldn't). And D.C. United, but we play them one more time, so it is in our own hands now

Thanks for the info giaco.

So, we basically need to beat out NYRB and PRT in standings, and beat D.C. when we play them. (I'm not overly concerned with Chivas or San Jose).

Filthaelfia taking points out of DC's hand helped us a bit.

:yep:

It was a really good game.

Both teams had a lot of missed opportunities in addition to all those goals.
