2017 Crew SC 4caster: Game 31


scha·den·freu·de: pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

DC United is out of the playoffs. They are terrible, and always will be. Ok, important stuff out of the way.

Playoff Clinching Scenarios for This Weekend: Chill on That

Crew should win at home vs DC in the first place, but for Montreal or New England to make the playoffs ahead of The Crew it would take the most massive team bed-shitting since one team missed two PKs in the same game... in the playoffs... on my birthday. So don't worry about playoff clinching scenarios.

Enhanced Standings

While DC is out, NYCFC, Atlanta and Chicago are now in the playoffs. But you knew that. This year it's not going to be a race to see who's in the playoffs, but there will be a fight for the 2-3-4 spots. JOSTLIN'!







4casted Final Standings, MLS Cup Hosting















It may only take 46 points to qualify for the playoffs, but to host the KO round Crew SC might need to win their final three games. Even two wins and a tie wouldn't guarantee 4th place. 7 of their possible final 9 points would, however, put them in great shape to host MLS Cup. 

For the wild optimist, a scenario still exists in which Crew SC can finish in 2nd place in the East. For now, 5th place looks most likely.
