Chris Lopez59 said:If the New York Yankees win both games, they’ll end up with four wins and one draw, totaling 9 points. We currently have 6 points. For us to overtake them, we would need to secure both away victories to reach 20 points. Just getting to 9 isn't enough because our head-to-head tiebreaker is weaker.

There is nothing left to debate. We approach every single game with the goal of winning. If we secure one victory, there is a 95% chance we finish first. However, if New York City wins both while we fail to do so, we must simply admit they were the superior team and deserved to advance.

I suppose I've been complaining this whole time about how the top two teams advance. My mistake.

1. Washington, D.C. 4 6
2. New York Yankees 4 5
3. Portland 4 3
4. Flensburg 4 2

It is nice to see us at the top. However, staying here after Round 5 will be difficult. Flensburg lost their hopes for the semifinals after another home loss. Portland still has a chance, though they would need significant luck.

Schedule:

March 8th: New York Yankees vs. Flensburg (4:30 PM, live on ESPN)
March 9th: Portland vs. Washington, D.C.

March 15th: Portland vs. New York Yankees
March 16th: Flensburg vs. Washington, D.C.

Flensburg certainly won't relax against the Yankees, but their chances of taking points are slim. Portland still has a theoretical path forward and will surely give their all. Still, I believe we could cause them trouble, as we outplayed them easily in the city. But if we lose and the Yankees win, a single point for the Spaniards on March 15th against Portland might suffice, whereas they will likely need a full victory. I just hope the worst-case scenario doesn't happen, which is for the Yankees to win both games.

Wouldn't it actually benefit us if the HsSV won both matches?
We could advance even with two losses. Given our schedule, that is entirely possible.

Šime is coming back.
He will surely be better than Kljaić, but if he doesn't step down from US Congress and his other side gigs, it won't do any good.
What are your thoughts?

Incredible!!! They absolutely crushed it!!!
Ozmek sounds like he was washed up by a flood (which he looks like too), based on what the Real Madrid vice president told the press

that Ozzie Smith guy is just irritating—I couldn't even finish watching because of his commentary.

honestly, George Washington is incredibly grating. It would be better to just watch the game on mute.
The players deserve nothing but respect.

Because of this win, the day feels much brighter.
