Yes Virginia, we're still going to have a playoffs this year, despite a a non-zero amount of clusterfuckedness that happened due to the pandemic (*glares at Colorado*).



The playoff format is largely unchanged from last year, the only difference being that out in the East there will be a play-in round between #7-#10 and #8-#9 (this keeps both conferences with the same amount of teams that didn't qualify...plus :10bux: from more games). After that, it will be your typical 16 team single-elimination bracket where the highest team hosts. Speaking of...

Does peaking last weekend against San Jose count as peaking at the right time this year?

Or does giving up a goal mean they are finished?

Always get confused by this. Is UniMas the same channel as Univision? I have Univision and have watched MLS games on it this year a few times, but not sure if it's the same thing.

I know Carnell was an interim coach and probably taking orders from Struber remotely but bold strategy replacing the guy who got you into the playoffs for the first game of the playoffs.

That seems like a really bad idea to me, but I'm not a MLS GM.

Matt Turner is legit one of the best keepers in this garbage league. Other than that largely forgettable yes.

Buksa is poo poo, the other two are fairly good. Gil was injured for a lot of this season. Still think Philly will win by 3 goals, again.
