Request: Chivas To Put Out The Fire

**Torontotonto** · 10-22-2009, 04:02 PM

Road to playoffs starts tonight.
I hope Chivas kicks the Fire's ass.
A Chicago loss will help us inch our way to the playoffs.
Anyone know if this game will be streamed anywhere.

**Torontotonto** · 10-22-2009, 04:07 PM

Thanks guys, don't have GOL, but I'll try justin tv

Since Chicago holds all tie-breakers over us, how does this affect our playoff chances?

**ArmenJBX** · 10-22-2009, 04:12 PM

We can finish as high as second in the east if Chicago lose, we win, New England win and DC United win if I'm not mistaken.

Toronto FC would finish second if...

Chicago Fire lose on Thursday against Chivas USA and then TFC, D.C. United and New England all win. That would mean a four way tie between the teams on 42 points and Toronto would win the tiebreaker with the best Head-to-Head record between all four teams (nine points from six games).

Sooooooooo GO CHIVAS

**Hitcho** · 10-22-2009, 04:15 PM

there's a remote chance of us getting second spot in the east and home field advantage for the first round of the play offs if chicago lose tonight and at the weekend, we win, and all other results go the right way.

not sure about wider implications than that though. best approach is just focus on us beating the shite bulls, then crack open a couple of beers, watch teh remaining games and wait for someone on tv to tell us we're in!

Couldn't have said it better myself with Shakespeare beside me on a typewriter.

**crofty** · 10-22-2009, 05:53 PM

a chivas win also means that columbus hasn't clinched the supporter's shield, so they might have somethign to play for against NE, which may or may not be good for us....

If either DC or New England fail to win then TFC would lose out on all other Tie breakers that involve Chicago, We have a better chance of making the play-offs if Chicago picks up points tonight. It would kill any chance of finishing second but would help in the long run to at least get a play-off spot.

I think we need to be cheering for the Fire tonight.

**werewolf** · 10-22-2009, 06:41 PM

I am going to treat it like the all-star game (where both results has positives and negatives) and cheer for goals, red cards and FIFA'ing that involves the officials for entertainment purposes.

**DOMIN8R** · 10-22-2009, 06:44 PM

I can't tell you how annoying all of this keeping track of how all the other teams fare against each other in this effen playoff race.

So who is it? Do we cheer for the ring of Fire or Chiv-ass?

Chivas. Chicago winning does nothing for us, Chicago loses and we have a shot at second place.

**DOMIN8R** · 10-22-2009, 06:48 PM

Thank you.

Chicago losing & TFC winning kills us in almost every tie breaking scenario.......Go Fire!

**DOMIN8R** · 10-22-2009, 06:59 PM

OK Thank you!

I'm gullible. I'll believe just about anyone. Even the 2 of you!

I'm rooting for the tie!

Haha......Tie is fine

**Batman** · 10-22-2009, 07:01 PM

Pretty strange cheering for an eastern team... but so be it. Go Fire!

**Batman** · 10-22-2009, 07:02 PM

OK... so what do we REALLY WANT?

**Bluenose13** · 10-22-2009, 07:05 PM

As strange as it seems having Chicago pick up a win or a tie & taking them out of any possible tie breakers involving TFC helps us.

Chicago losing would INCREASE our chances of getting the 2nd spot, but DECREASE our chances of getting any of the wildcard spots. Someone would really have to run the numbers to compare the probabilities. It's been way too long since my last probability & statistics course to figure this out!! My gut feeling is, better for Chicago to get out of a tie situation with TFC and get 2nd place with a win or a tie, so we only have Dallas to worry about in terms of tie breakers, but I'm just not sure...

As Hal said "I'm gullible". I just changed my post from go chivas! to go fire!

Wow. I've never seen a scenario in sports when I didn't know what to root for.

I guess I'm thinking 2nd is a long shot so better to take the odds and just look for a playoff spot.

Go Fire!
