So, we are down to the final week of the regular season. It’s been a long haul: come Sunday, it will have been 239 days since Opening Day. On that long-ago day, Atlanta United found itself worst in the league, but has been sitting on the top of the standings almost uninterrupted since mid-May.
But there’s still everything to play for, and not just for the Five Stripes. Last week’s games cleared things up a bit, but not entirely. Ten teams have now booked their places in the playoffs, and 2 teams in each conference are vying for the final spots.
