Colin O’Donnell: Eliminated in the Second Round
Single-elimination playoffs are a all about matchups, so let’s keep this in mind: It would take a series of events reminiscent of that night in Couva for Minnesota to not be in line to host at least the first round in the playoffs. A win gets them second outright, a draw would get them second or third, and a loss would trigger a cascade of emotions where we either hope for Vancouver to do us a solid in getting a home point against Real Salt Lake or Christian Ramirez’s Houston Dynamo beating the Galaxy, which never happens on Decision Day.
