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.

    #10 out of 14 teams so it’s pretty clear we suck.
