Friday
Chicago @ NYCFC 8pm
Hey, look, we could clinch a playoff birth with a tie or a Chicago win. Not likely to happen given how bad the Fire are on the road. Lampard did his leg in again. We want a Chicago win here.
Saturday
Orlando @ DCU 7pm
The two teams we play next week. Both teams desperately need a win. A leg sapping 96 minutes with lots of missed opportunities leading to a scoreless tie would just be about perfect.
Montreal @ NYRB 7pm
Game of the weekend in the East. Both teams trying to figure stuff out but NYRB's issues with giving up leads is WAAAAY less dreadful then the Impact's inability to play defence of late. As much as I'd love to see Montreal fall closer to the red line, this is not the game for that to happen. A tie is what we want. Another last minute tie.
Colorado @ Vancouver 7pm
If the Whitecaps have any hope, they have to win out. 4 games left - down by 6. The Rapids still in with a chance at the Supporter's Shield. We want a Vancouver win here just to give everybody in the West more to have to think about.
Portland @ Houston 9pm
Portland has not won away this season. They are trying to grab home advantage for the first round. Houston is playing for their jobs. Nothing here for us but pressure from below on the other Shield runners isn't a bad thing. Portland win please.
FCD @ RSL 9:30pm
Game of the week in the West. That offence for Dallas vs Rimando. RSL has a lot of injuries right now though. We want an RSL win here but I get the feeling this is going to be a Dallas statement to the league win.
SKC @ San Jose 10:30pm
Yeah, I got nothing for this game. My two least favourite coaches in the league. Game means nothing for us. I suppose an SKC win increases the likelihood of Kinnear being fired which would be good for the game as a whole.
Sunday
Seattle @ LAG 4pm
LAG continues its late surge. Seattle has righted the ship, somewhat. This game will be hyped to the point of :icon_bs: We want a Seattle win here so that no matter what happens we remain ahead of LAG on points.
NER @ CBus 7pm
The return of Kei Kamara. NER is surging. CBus has righted the ship a little bit. A Columbus win would stop the NER momentum which would be nice to have stop before the playoffs start. However, an NER win would put serious pressure on the next two teams we play and Montreal. We want a hype producing toughly fought come from behind NER win here. The more desperate Orlando and DCU are next week, the better.
