That sounds like math.

I'll just wait until someone tells me that the next game could clinch it.

Well Chicago is well out of the race now. NYCFC is the only one with a chance and it's slim.

Chicago should be worried. They are closer to being out of the playoffs, than competing for the shield. The way they are going they might not get a home playoff game. If we can grab 3 points today we will be up 9 on NYCFC. I like that math.

Basically, if TFC end the season 5-1-1, they clinch the SS, regardless of what NYC does.

Basically, if TFC end the season 5-1-1, they clinch the SS, regardless of what NYC does.

So we have 7 games left, and NYCFC has 8 games left, for any combination of us gaining points and them losing points to make it to a total of 16 at this point. I like those odds. I wouldn't be shocked if this team took care of it all on their own like you said with the 5-1-1.
