Thoughts?

I wish Hairston could get a start here over Le Toux but maybe Pablo is saving Hairston for an impact sub should we need it.

Come on you Rapids!!

I'm confused...we have an away goal but does that not mean we are technically tied? Or does the mls just like to fuck with the rules?

Not necessarily

For Seattle to advance: They basically either can't concede a goal, or if they do they'll need to win by 2 to guarantee advancing

For rapids to advance: We can win 1-0 and advance because of the away goal. We can force extra time with a 2-1 result. Or any result in which we win will guarantee advancement too.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but from what I understand the MLS uses the same tie breakers as most other soccer competitions.

If you need more explanation I'm happy to break it down.
