I find it interesting that we could see team(s) entering the playoffs on a negative goal difference.

Don't look over at the MLS table, lol... Timbers are lining up to get home field advantage with a negative goal differential...

Let's hope, but they're going to need help тАФ all the teams ahead of them in 5th through 2nd have a game in hand.

But also have to play like 5 games in 2 weeks and nobody is serious form.

Would not be a surprise one bit.

No other team outside of Portland (40) has 28 or more goals.

I looked to see if a team had made it in previously on a negative GD. In 2014 Washington Spirit made the playoffs with a negative 7 goal difference. That is the only playoff team with a negative goal difference so far.

2019 Reign, 2021 Chicago, and 2022 Kansas City entered the playoffs on a GD of 0.
