Note:

The folks at Sports Club Stats tell us that that FC Dallas still has a 46% chance of making the playoffs. If they loose at Salt Lake, the odds drop to 15%. If they win, they will improve to 81%. Another draw, and their chances drop to 39%. Those are strictly the statistical odds. They don’t really mean anything compared against Hyndman’s player selection, and the will of those players to actually come through in the clutch.

    Either my own math skills are lacking or a lot of FC Dallas fans need to go back to school.

    I keep reading on here that our destiny isn’t in our own hands, that we’re probably not going to make the playoffs, and that we have no hope and should fire Hyndman.

    Come on. If we beat RSL, we’ll have 38, theyll have 36 and no matter what else happens, we’ll be 3rd in the west. So then if we win again we’re in, maybe even if we tie the last game. That’s controlling your own destiny.
