Well.. Columbus beat Red Bulls at the death tonight so things are going to get a little more difficult.

There’s honestly so many playoff scenarios for us that it’s not even worth talking about until the final match, hell, Cincinnati is collapsing and if they lose to D.C. in their final game then they will probably miss the playoffs.

Going to be a wild finish should we beat Columbus on Wednesday.

If we get an Orlando loss today, a win against Columbus and an Orlando Miami draw things will get real interesting.  If we win the last two it really looks like it sets up for us getting in. Still a path to as high as 5th with 2 more wins.

Charlotte got a little help from NYCFC today as they stormed back to beat Orlando 2-1.

Current Table

5th. Cincinnati - 46 points - 1 GR

6th. Orlando - 45 points - 2 GR

7th. Miami - 45 points - 2 GR

8th. Columbus - 45 points - 2 GR

9th. Charlotte - 41 points - 2 GR

On Wednesday, Charlotte hosts Columbus and Miami hosts Orlando. Obviously, Charlotte needs to win and hope that Orlando and Miami play to a draw or Orlando wins.

If Miami wins then they will all but lock up a spot and with Orlando and Columbus playing this coming weekend, one of those teams would more than likely wrap up another spot. Charlotte’s chances would essentially come down to beating Red Bulls and hoping Cincinnati loses to D.C.

So the simple version…

Wednesday

Charlotte needs to beat Columbus.

Orlando and Miami need to play to a draw (best case) or Orlando needs to win.

Big mistake not starting Rios. Bender choked at striker

I don't think they could.  This was a makeup game from one that had been rained out earlier in the season after they played 15 minutes. Kickoff last started with 15 minutes having already elapsed.  I think they had to put out the same lineups and were unable to use subs if they had already done so in the previous 15 minute period, as we had when Carujo got injured.  Dumb that they tried to even play that game, but it is what it is.

Ref missed a penalty on Karol late.  Would have been a bit light, but he called the game tight for the most part, so should have been a penalty.  My thought is that CFC played well enough to win, but didn't deserve to win, if that makes any sense.  Sucks to be eliminated from playoff contention, but noone expected to make the playoffs this first season.  Glad to see they showed some flashes and improvement over the course of the season.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
