MATCH PREVIEW #20: Final positions come down to the last game

ATTACHMENT
The regular season finale is here! After 19 weeks of storylines there is still two positions available to be clinched. Both those spots are currently held by Montgomery County. All the Monarchs have to do is win this weekend and the team will be heading to the Semi-Finals and playing in the Majors Cup group stage. Gaithersburg City has the chance to play the ultimate spoiler and give hope to several teams in the league. If G-City can win or tie the match then here is what other scenarios may unfold.
D.C. Forever would then get a chance to go to the playoffs if the team can defeat Gateway United. This should be a great game since the Saints will be trying to tie the record for longest unbeaten streak.
Garden State would be given the chance of going to the Majors Cup if the Monarchs lose or tie. All the Kickers would have to do pending those circumstances is defeat Motor City.
On the outside looking in is Union S.C. The Blues need the most help of all. In order to make the Majors Cup, the team not only needs Montgomery County to lose, but also needs Garden State to lose or tie its game, and still the Blues have to defeat #1 ranked Capital District. The one bright spot is the fact that Union S.C. is the only team to own the Gunners who are 0-2 against the Blues and 14-1-2 against the rest of the league. Capital District also has the opportunity to tie the league record for longest unbeaten streak.

  8. Could I finally be shaking off the curse of the blue kryptonite?

    If Guevara's assist holds up, I should be up 2-1.

    Come on Freddy! Get another one.
