Looking good or a bit
contested is the question lately at the Eastern Conference when three squads
are vying if not fighting for that coveted sixth and last place position to net
a spot in the postseason.
With two newcomers
and first year NYCFC and Orlando making the remainder of the campaign a living
misery to the likes of Le Gars of the Montreal Impact, suddenly we have a tight
race.
As this campaign saw how
two new squads as well changed its new playoff format where both conference’s
will allow six squad’s to dispute the postseason, making the East as a one hot
ticket after all these three squads are in a nail bitter.
With Montreal holding
a one point lead over Orlando who’s closing in with 35 points and a resilient
NYSCFC that suddenly is playing one spectacular football and with a complete initial
eleven, this is it!
As the Big Apple boys
with an attack composed of Lampard, Pirlo and Villa so far are winning in what
seem to be impossible matches early in the campaign for them, still with eh campaign
winding down its when their Manager Jason Kreis is stepping up.
For the Orlando City
chaps despite key injuries in its top rated player Kaka is holding tis ground
and so far is making a push to the East top and within one point of the Promised
Land and the Montreal Impact, anything is possible for the Lions.
Montreal after its
new change at its helm and new interim Boss Mauro Biello suddenly is making
this club sudden injection of optimism and the arrival of Didier Drogba to the
City of Mary squad; his arrival has been one opportune one.
The Orlando Boys
looking ahead of their schedule seen as not charitable with matches at Red
Bulls Arena and a couple key ones with the Montreal Impact and NYCFC seen as
crucial as the Lions come ahead victorious will mean a ticket for the postseason.
On the other hand for
the Montreal Impact with some matches pending due to their early in the campaign
CONCACHAMPIONS compromise will have to fend a DC United, Orlando City, Colorado,
New York Rd Bulls, New England and Toronto.
As anything can
happen for the residents of the City of Mary as they can get a better position
in the postseason spots or lose it to a push up Orlando or NYCFC.
The NYCFC will indeed
have its hands full and wait for some odd results from its rivals Orlando and
Montreal to and win all of its matches if they have a chance to make it into the
coveted sixth and spot for the league post season.
As the Big Apple Boys
and its Manager Jason Kreis will have one tough outing in their last matches of
the campaign with all around contenders as the Vancouver Whitecaps, DC United,
New England and the most important and decisive Orlando City as a visitor.
At the end who will
it be of these three aces that will net the last spot of the Eastern Conference,
NYCFC, Orlando City SC or the Montreal Impact to hold on to it, take your pick.
