did some excel fun while bored at work.... This is what it looks like, Our Magic number is 69... great number in my books :P
i fuckin love this thread. there's no hand wringing or moaning or fighting words. sometimes i read these forums and wonder what happened to the cranky old culture we had here in years gone by. now its all positive and together and full of love and confidence. winning. we're playing out scenarios to win the shield, and it's not difficult. i fuckin love it.
We go down to LA by a goal and the game thread will turn dark and cranky real quick.
Vancouver seems to really have got good at the right time. An all Canadian final for a TFC double would be a blast. I

There's still a race? lol
If my math is right and it may not be.. if Toronto Beat Montreal on Wednesday and NYCFC lose or tie on Saturday TFC will Clinch the Shield.
If that happens. TFC will have Won the Supporters Shield before any other team won a playoff spot. What I'm not sure off as I didn't do the figuring.. is if our beating Montreal clinches a playoff spot for NYCFC.
Not to jinx anything but let's assume reality here - when would the Shield be presented? Assuming it's clinched before the 30th (seems likely given that even one win in the next two and any combination of that with NYCFC not getting max points gets it done), would it be after the Sept 30th game? or at the end of the final regular season home game? Or is it not presented on field at all? I'm not sure of the protocol.....what a crazy notion for those of us following this franchise for the first seven years or so.....

New York's saturday game is two hours before ours. If the result goes our way midweek and in New York, we could walk out in New England with the shield clinched before the game even starts.
Curious question - As STH are we all still going to be charged for a knockout game on Sept 29th as scheduled when we know we aren't going to be playing in a knockout game (it's already "almost" mathematically impossible based on the combination of schedules already never mind by the 29th) --- wouldn't it make more sense to just pre-charge us for the ECSF and ECF instead....rather than charging all the STH for a non-existent game and then having multiple transactions to refund it or apply the charged amounts and then charge us all an additional $10-$15 or so with another invoice for the ECF ticket instead of the knockout one? It's not like anyone isn't going to take their ECF tickets if offered.....I know, I know, this is what we would call a "first world of MLS success" issue (ha ha ha).....
Down to 5 points now! It would take a catastrophic event for us not to win it haha. It's over! The quadruple is on!
It's likely mathematically done this weekend.

Maybe sooner. If we win on Wednesday, it eliminates all teams but NYCFC from the race. We play NER on Saturday and NYCFC plays Houston - which will not be a walk in the park They're just below the playoffline so they will want points. Any result other than a win for NYCFC will eliminate them.
On Saturday, they have the 3PM game. We have the 5PM 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.”
-Eduardo Galeano
