Near the bottom. He says that Toronto, Seattle and Los Angeles are amongst the teams that are definitely in, given a couple more games to play.

Were we in this kind of position last year?

Or maybe it's rigged.

Um, unless you're reading a different story, that is not what he says at all. He says:

"Los Angeles, Seattle, Colorado and Toronto are other teams you'd be tempted to elevate into the "definitely in" category, but you would probably be wise to wait a few more weeks. That whole bunch of teams within a win of the 30-point plateau can only be described as murky. There's a whole lot more to be determined in the middle of the pack."

I get that. But what I meant was we're actually in contention for a spot this time, if I remember it we were on the outskirts last season, but now we're being described as likely to be in. What I mean is we're actually in the thick of things.

First thing I thought of was WWE when I saw thread title

What about winning the league?

See, those "few weeks" he references are crucial. If we shit the bed on the road, three weeks from now there'll be no playoffs to talk about.

That said, I personally think we're playoff bound and that we'll pull out four points or more out of the next three games.

That's precisely what I was going to say. The "definitely in" part is taken way out of context.

bottom line is we need to win or tie the next three and get at least 5 points on the road trip

didnt they predict San Jose and new york would be improved this year?

[Hitcho]

It's so hard to predict anything in this league, a situation that is deliberately manufactured and cultivated by the league itself, so all we can do is take it one game at a time. Don't look past Chivas or start worrying about how many points we need from Seattle. Just focus on the Chivas game.

This is also the message I hope CC and the TFC coaching staff are drumming into the lads!
