Would be incredibly unlikely, but possible.
Would be incredibly unlikely, but possible.
Example: Last year it was an eight-team playoffs with 2 per confenerence + 4 wildcards. NY and Columbus (51 and 50 pts) qualified through the East conference spots, LA and Salt Lake (59 and 56 pts) through the West conference. The remaining four wildcard spots went to Dallas, Seattle, Colorado and San Jose (50, 48, 46, 46). All four are from the West, and finished above the next highest East team (Kansas City, 39).
Where it gets weird is that it would've been possible for the second placed East team to earn less points than the 7th place West team. yet still qualify ahead of them.
i.e 4 from east and 6 from west?
We have the worse keeper in the league, this season could be a long one for us crewians.
Haha, Hesmers good, but he wasn't playing
Wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is using the NFL lockout to see if he can play for Major League Soccer side Kansas City.
Never short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals player was set for a four-day trial starting on Tuesday.
The club said on Wednesday that after the tryout, it will determine whether to extend the trial.
"We're always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent," Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger. We're excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team."
Ochocinco started playing football at age four but chose to focus on American football in high school.
"Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team," Ochocinco said.
The reality TV star was friends with the likes of Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. In January, Ochocinco visited Ronaldo, Kaka and the rest of Real Madrid's squad and was introduced to manager Jose Mourinho.
He has said he uses a football to warm up for NFL practices and games.
Kansas City opens its MLS season on Saturday. It narrowly missed the playoffs last year.

I think ESPN will start airing MLS games after the UEFA is open, I believe thats what happened last year?
I think bet 365 will be streaming games perhaps? Will wait and check. There are some games played on ESPN, I remember looking, but it's pretty much 3 days late.
EDIt: Actually, I am pretty sure bet 365 will be streaming these games live because I remember being told they stream a-league from my mate in Australia, but it wasn't on my list of games to stream, i.e sky sports holds the license for N.Z so bet 365 would have to ask them to stream it on the web ... I dunno, sounds pretty right to me.Azevo2011-03-20 11:28:06
As for the other clubs (incl. Philly), they're not important. Let's face it, only Cascadia matters when it comes to MLS
Sadly Portland have not won anything this season, but there kit is damn sexy, especially the home and their training kit. tis sad, pre-season looked promising, to bad There is no stream on bet365 for Chivas vs Portland, HT atm 0:0, Boyens picked up two yellows, so chivas down to 10 men next half, come on timbersAzevo2011-03-30 16:13:05

Thats pretty cool, pretty similar to the crews last away kit. Think I might buy that away kit for the union.
ever notice the web address is mlssoccer.com
I was sort of watching this game while playing FM. My impressions were that it wasn't too bad, the stadium was packed and the atmosphere was great. Playing standard was generally good. Henry is crap now, no pace, no finesse, can't pass - being carried by the team.

And agree Henry was being a bit of a ghost.
