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.

    • I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we? 
    • Yep,and Blake Miller have had more experiences than Freeling,Lions did not sigh a vet T like Walker,so they had to pick Miller.
    • I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
