Our last game before the Gold Cup break is against LA FC this Wednesday; LA has a Saturday game on the road at Real Salt Lake. I like getting them on a short week.
After the Gold Cup Break we play Seattle in our first game back on Thursday, July 22. Every other team comes back earlier; Seattle has a game on Sunday, July 18 at Minnesota. I like getting them on a short week as well.
Getting 6 points is likely from these two.
We've already taken road points off Number 1 Western Conference Leader, Seattle and Number 2, KC (were leading KC 1-0 before a Ring red in other KC road game). Additionally, we've outright beaten Number 4 in the west, Colorado, as well as Number 5 in the west, Minnesota, both on the road. We just thrashed the team sitting in the final playoff spot, Number 7 Portland. Additionally, we took a point off of the east team we get to play this year, Number 5 in the east, Columbus.
All of this without a fucking striker. I think we are sitting pretty. I'm starting to get giddy with the possibilities.
Playoffs should expected at this point.
How's that for glass is half full?
