Ok, we know that every week we say every match matters – but this week we really mean it. If all goes according to plan, the Union could clinch a playoff spot by the end of the weekend; but it gets complicated.
The Union sit at fourth in the East, with Montreal four points behind them in fifth, and D.C. United five points back in sixth. But forget about Montreal and D.C. for a second, because for the Union to clinch this weekend, we need to look closer at the teams below the red line in New England, Orlando, and Columbus – and we need them to lose.
