There is so much talk about must win this. Must get a point there. I prefer to hope that all the other teams in the league will lose every game.
Not enough. A derby is a derby. There will be no prisoners. And if an equaliser comes in injury time, the coach has to do nothing but this. Derby della Lombardia, 9/30/2001.
The 5 games against Montreal, Columbus (2), DC, and Orlando will have the biggest effect on our playoff positioning. We're not catching RB unless they implode.
But there is a limit to the number of games we can lose. Six is pushing it.
I see, your point was this game is not on the far edge of our hardest games so it's not one of the few we can afford to lose. Check.
I have the rest of the schedule broken into must wins, probable losses and must not loses. If we don't play to my predictions, it gets much harder. If we beat some of the hard teams we start thinking of a cup run.
Not sure I'd be all that upset about this. Sure Cahill played 2 1/2 seasons with NJRB but played 8 years for Everton. Heck, that means he played opposite Lampard 16 times, more or less, and that's just the Premier League. So they might know each other. And it might be possible that he played against Pirlo too as he's on the Australian national team although I'm way too lazy to look that up.
