Comments on: Goals First 29 http://www.3rddegree.net/2009/10/21/goals-first-29/ The Independent FC Dallas News Source Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:09:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Steve http://www.3rddegree.net/2009/10/21/goals-first-29/comment-page-1/#comment-23752 Steve Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:09:20 +0000 http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=6491#comment-23752 Finally found a good (and huge) article for tiebreaker possibilities: http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1110/major-league-soccer/2009/10/19/1570245/mls-wild-card-tiebreaking-scenarios However, I'm not sure this article is accurate in head-to-head tiebreakers, as they think it is determined by overall goal diff is head-to-head points are equal, but my enterpretation is they go to head-to-head goal diff first. Under my interpretation: 2-way ties FCD wins: Chicago-Dallas Colorado-FC Dallas FC Dallas-Toronto FC 3-way ties FCD would win: Chicago-FC Dallas-New England FC Dallas-D.C. United-Toronto FC FC Dallas-New England-Toronto FC 4-way ties FCD would win: Colorado, Real Salt Lake, Dallas, Toronto (Occurs if RSL beat Colorado; Dallas and Toronto draw; and DC and NE lose.)

How I wish we would have held at least one of those damned leads going into the final game of the season!!!
