Seven games to go. We likely need a minimum of 4 wins out the 7, and another result or two to make it. Tough ask at this point. But until it's mathematically impossible.....

There is no such thing as an easy win with TFC...Originally Posted by QBall
But that being said - you're right, we do still have the chance to do it, and the schedule (other teams's schedules) to make it happen...

Wish I had put a few dollars on this one!

Portland should be winnable as well since they'll be coming off a CCL match. But they're a lot deeper than Chivas and has a former TFC player whom I think will want to say "hello" by scoring some goals. If TFC can beat Portland, they have a chance in the playoffs. If not, TFC will probably not make it out of the play-in round, if at all.

47 points (48 for sure) looks like the magic number.
Given that we should beat Montreal, the Houston game is massive. Take 3 points there, we only need one point on the road from 3 tough games (LA, NY, NE)
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
God dammit, Montreal is good for nothing. Columbus with a 2-0 win, would have been a perfect weekend if they had lost.
I still think its not going to happen. Our defence is just too porous. The 2 games at home are doable but those 3 away games are up against decent attacking teams who are all fighting for something.
Still, we are in with a shout, which is better then most seasons. Rather be in this position then Montreal's.

Woah. It would've been nice but I'll take the favourite DC over Philly to move us up. We can't expect too much done for us, no? It's close but still a game coming up to prove how serious we are.

One thing that helps is that the Crew play the Union twice and NYRB once.
Need to see some draws in those games.

It will definitely be an interesting stretch run for the Reds, looking forward to being at Red Bull Arena in October, this could be one heck of a ride.

I just hope they don't pull a 2009...
Would be great if Galaxy could hammer the Red Bulls tonight. And if Omar Gonzalas gets a yellow that would be awesome too since he will miss the game against us.
Looking at it that way it still seems do-able.
But seeing how we've played so far, there are still a lot of things to sort out and very little margin for error.
esp since sneaking in 5th place and losing means still no home playoff game.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

I'm hoping they both get hammered since we play LA next. But I see where you're going with it.

This thread was started right after the second loss to PUFC, and I thought we were done, having just lost back to back to philly and got crushed by NER. Funny how 2.99 wins in a row can change the tide. The team has shown a lot of resilliance over those last 3 games. It would be nice to pick up some points in LA, but seems highly unlikely, hopefully we can at least keep some of the confidence, if not a point from the LA game. Anyone else notice SKC slidding down the standings....
Just settling in to hopefully see the Galaxy defeat RBNY and keeping them just a point ahead of the Reds, great to see TSN pick up this game.

Goal of the week from Keane. Good news is those two old geezers Keane and Donovan shredded the NYRB defence.
Bad news is we play LAG first.
Almost over 3-0 LA........Another doozy of a match coming up
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
Next weekend in LA will be a real challenge for the Reds. No way they can have a repeat of the mistakes made against Portland and expect to come out unscathed. Coach Vanney has the full week ahead to get them ready and make sure the back line is in order. Getting out of their with at least a point is key.Almost over 3-0 LA........Another doozy of a match coming up

Imagine if TFC had the two points that were stolen by poor refereeing.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
You just know that those two points will be a factor at the end of the season. Sigh.
A point would be brilliant. Basically, puts their fate into their own hands. Fortunately, though, a loss won't be the end of the world after securing the six points in these last two matches. Let's hope Vanney can put together some magic. Also, should Defoe be in the line up, time to play with AND FOR the team!! Team chemistry is a strange thing, let's hope the Reds continue to gel!
Time for a NEW POLL Asking the Same Question!
If you ask too close to the end, then the poll doesn't mean as much.

Dynamo midfield duo Garcia and Garrido to join Honduras squad next week for game against Mexico on Fri Oct 10th. Should mean they miss the game against us on the 8th
Post. Season.
Not familiar with that term. Do we have to mail something in?

Is there going to be a viewing at Shoeless Joe's this Saturday for the match in LA? It's becoming crunch time for TFC and our post-season hopes. A road win against LA (16-5-9) would be a phenomenal result for us.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
I am semi optimistic about post season this year. But I still think TFC is a year away from really being a playoff contender I did say at the beginning of the year we will see major improvement and we have but we still need more depth on our roster. I often wonder if we were not robbed in that game against Chicago, and at home v Sporting K.C. where we will be.
