Caring more about national team than the MLS and using that as a basis for being dismissive of the MLS is a horribly stupid talking point. Offense meant.

We cannot have a strong national team without a strong domestic league, it literally isn't possible. It is no coincidence the best team we've fielded had the most MLS players. If you care about US Soccer you should be firmly on team eff European leagues. England, Spain, and Italy will absolutely not give American players a fair shot for the most part; Germany and the Netherlands are much more fair to American players.

He got hit very late, high ankle, he was helped off of the field non weight bearing. They took him off of the field, worked on him for a bit then took him to the locker room on a stretcher.

So we can't beat NE on the wins tiebreaker now. We need to hope they get 1 or 0 points and we get 6 or 4 (depending on what they get). Doable. Go Sportingcats.

scottwildcat · « **Reply #4587 on:** October 16, 2014, 09:56:53 PM »

Meh whatever. We are going to go to MLS Cup.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #4588 on:** October 16, 2014, 10:04:13 PM »

Here is my team for the final round of the season.

Thanks to all for playing! See you next year.

My concern regards what days we would play. Not who we will play. We might be looking at conflicts with Cat Football.

What place do we need to not conflict?

Well it's possible we play on Sundays every time and it won't conflict. I'll do some research though. Pretty sure if we play DC United in the conference finals, it falls on a football weekend. We'd need it to be the Sunday.

What if Royals need 5 games to win it all? That would conflict with Game 34.

Can you imagine needing 5 games?

sunny_cat · « **Reply #4594 on:** October 17, 2014, 08:45:11 AM »

(I only put Eastern Conference info. Lower seed hosts first leg and higher hosts second just like years past.)

Wild Card Round

Eastern Conference

E4. vs. E5.: Wednesday, October 29 or Thursday, October 30 at higher seed

Conference Semifinals

E1. vs. E4. or E5.

First leg: Saturday, November 1 (OSU) or Sunday, November 2 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 8 or Sunday, November 9 at higher seed

E2. vs. E3

First leg: Saturday, November 1 (OSU) or Sunday, November 2 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 8 or Sunday, November 9 at higher seed

We need to get the 2 seed for this (1 is unattainable). Otherwise, we're putting it at 50/50 chance and have to hope for Sunday, November 2.

Conference Finals

Eastern Conference

First leg: Saturday, November 22 or Sunday, November 23 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 29 (KU) or Sunday, November 30 at higher seed

I was wrong in my previous post. If DC gets upset, then we're looking at a 50/50 chance again that our home leg is on November 29. If we play DC, we're good.

MLS Cup Final

TBA vs. TBA at higher seed: Sunday, December 7, 2:00 p.m. (ESPN, UniMás, TSN or TSN2, RDS or RDS2)

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/thegoalkeeper/2014-MLS-Cup-Playoffs-schedule.html#GHFTasQTJhcvk84h.99

Basically, hope for the 2 seed and to play DC. Otherwise, we have to rely on MLS schedulers.

Besler and Collin will both be back soon (I think/hope). We're fine. As long as Nagamura, Benny, Dom, and Besler are healthy, we're good.
