With the draw between Chivas and FCD last night, we are locked into the top 4 teams for the season. Dallas could have passed us had they won this game and their next, final, game had we lost both of our remaining games. But the draw keeps us in the top 4, which means we're playing in the SuperLiga next season. That's exciting news that hopefully will pan into a SuperLiga championship for us in 2008.
Back to 2007: while we're locked into the top 4, we're not locked at #4. If we win out, we'll have 54 points, a point total that DC United has already reached with 2 games to play. The other top 4 teams, Chivas USA and New England, are ahead of us, but haven't gotten to 54 points yet. With 2 wins, we'll pass up New England should they lose but one of their remaining two games (vs Columbus and Toronto, neither particularly formidable) and we'll pass up Chivas should they lose both of their remaining two games (vs Colorado and Dynamo-Houston).
To make any of these even possible, we need to win out. Even if we don't gain ground on the other top 4, we should win out anyway, just because it's the right thing to do when you're the class of the league.
