Based on this projection, New York does not make the playoffs, DC United is the third seed out of the East, and the makeup of the playoffs is evenly divided among Eastern and Western Conference teams at five a piece. We’ll see how this holds.

- I gotta say it's a bit odd to see the world's most famous footballer playing a spring training game in Tucson, Arizona. #MLS
- Yes, but eye-opening regardless. It's a start and a focus for the league. RT @soccerinTN: Pro Soccer in general though, not @mls specific.
- OK, enough with the chit chat...let's watch some #MLS preseason!!

Neat stuff. I sense that Chivas will replace Houston or Colorado in your top ten. What does the numerical column stand for?
The column on the right is simply the teams’ season ending point total, using current PPG multiplied by the number of games they have left to play. Of course, each team’s destiny is in their hands and things could — and likely will — change some..
Love the site. I know its hard to put soccer into stats and numbers but I sure like to look at the break downs. Thanks for all your work. I look at this site weekly, sometimes more even knowing nothing has changed.
