S/M, I admire your restraint. Surely there must have been something to boast about . The first to beat Xfire this season,etc. Looks like EFC may be starting their peak as they did last year at this time.EFC will likely finish #3 as their schedule(ECFC,WFC and Snoho) should allow them to go 3-0 and finish with 26.But having had a hard time with each of those teams in prior games and getting only 4 pts, one never knows. Doubtful that they won't get at least 6 pts and 23.
WPFC has a firm lock on #2 . With their schedule(SunCity,Snoho,ECFC and Xfire) they could get 12 points (assuming they beat Xfire the last weekend) and finish with 34.
Even if Xfire goes 3-1, they would still finish #1 with 36.
4,5,6 and 7 remain up for grabs.
SunCity is in 4th with 14, but have played 2 more games and only sit 2 points ahead of Dynamo and Snoho. They play WPFC and then Dynamo, so they may end with 14. Their 4 pts v EFC may have saved their hides. Best possible is 17.
Dynamo. Not sure what to say. Easy, early goals are getting them in trouble and offense (6 GF in last 4 games, 3 v ECFC!!!) is nonexistent right now. 9GA/2GF v EFC and WPFC the last 2 weeks looks ugly. They are too talented to let this season go and if facing relegation is not a motivator I am not sure what is. At 12 pts, and assuming 3-1 the rest of the way (big assumption but possible with Snoho, SunCity,WFC and Xfire), they would end with 21, good for 4th. Even 2-2 should keep them in P1 and possibly 4th with 18, important for State Cup seed.
Snoho. I guess they are still banged up. Having the ex-EFC kid should help the rest of the way. Big game v Dynamo this weekend. Loser in trouble. Even if they win, they must play WPFC,EFC and WFC. So they are in heep gimpchy if they lose this weekend. Could end with 12 pts, at best 18.
WFC. Their slipper don't fit anymore. 0-4-1 last 5 games has them looking at relegation. Upcoming games v Xfire,EFC,Snoho then Dynamo...they could indeed end the year with 11 points and #7, at best 17.
ECFC. They play Xfire, EFC and WPFC. Max possible 3 pts ,good for 9 pts. Good night and welcome to P2. Interesting that there could be 2 ECFC teams in P2 next year though ECFC White is fighting to avoid relegation to P3. Wonder if they field one team in a combined effort next year as it is likely that many players will jump ship. Losing them makes travel worse for next year.
From P2, looks like Vancouver Crew and SC Eclipse (with Westsound a long shot) will be joining P1 (all make longer road trips for next season for most). Give credit to Crew who won P3 last year and are poised to win P2 this year. Just shows how LPTs are not always fair for certain teams.
