there are four of us driving out from Pheonix for the game. the Chivas ticket guy put us in section 116 or 117 I believe.

-Go Houston.

So, I'm sitting in the front row behind the RSL bench. If anyone has a flag to drape over the side, PM me.

Also, if anyone wants to try to coordinate anything, I can get an email and phone number from one person in each group and then distribute a full list to everyone. That'd be something to PM as well.

Interestingly, the Chivas FO doesn't seem to know that we're rivals. They consider us a fellow expansion team and the guy my sister talked to hopes the Crapids lose and we win.

So, let's assume that Colorado loses on Saturday making Sunday's game matter. Where is the best place to go to watch the game? Will Fiddler's be so full of NFL fans that we'll be lucky to get a 20" at the corner of the bar tuned to the game?

What do folks think?

I'd say a bigger positive is getting 1 point and not ending up in last place.

Which standings were you looking at that didn't have the Galaxy with 39 points?
WE DID END UP IN LAST PLACE IN THE WEST...by virtue of Goal differential if nothing else.

Season series is the first tie-breaker to qualify for the playoffs. It only makes sense that it would apply to league standings. If it was goal differential, RSL would have won the tie breaker over Colorado in the event that they had tied...their goal differential sucked.

The MLS may have put LA ahead of RSL in the table by way of alphabetical order. RSL & LA tied the season series at two wins each. However, RSL had a +1 goal advantage.

No. 2 Wins, 2 Losses.

Goal differential puts RSL in last.

The one in my head that told me if RSL and LA ended up tied for 4th that RSL would enter the playoffs and LA would not. Maybe things changed since I entered that data.
