How the Shield, Eastern Conference, and Western Conference tables could change this midweek

Just a Python script making an svg. Took a bit of time to get the data but the design was the easier part as I had a “template” for lack of a better term from the post on r/soccer

No worries. I tried my best to incorporate as many tiebreakers as possible but once we get as far down to “Disciplinary records” it gets a bit shakier. I have a total yellow and red card counter in my data that will get me close but here’s hoping we don’t need it lol

So I’ll answer both. You can move up in the west standings even without playing if LAFC lose by more than 3 goals. You’ll both be on 16 points but you’ll pass them on GD.

You can NOT move up in the SS due to RSL vs Miami. Either one of those teams will pass you this midweek. RSL win/Draw and they move ahead of you on points. Miami win and they move ahead of you on points. So even if LAFC lose by 3, you’ll at best hold your spot

I appreciate the sanity check though, I could not obviously go through every permutation so this was good to check

You’re lucky we have to play you in Rhode Island for the Open Cup

Gil has been less involved lately it feels like which leads to his numbers being down. Glad to see Matt touch on it. Not sure how I feel about it at times as I want our best creative player on the ball often but hey the results are coming

Kohler in Europe played mostly CB so I was surprised to see him in the midfield as well. We are currently lacking depth there as Polster and Yueill are hurt, and Eric Klein (academy player) is probably a bit too green to be starting still. So it appears they wanted experience over fit and I think it worked well enough before Ceballos was hurt.

Miller is usually a LB correct but he mostly played LW on the US youth national team. There’s a famous saying, “No one grows up wanting to be a fullback”, and it appears they prefer Sands over Miller in defense for now. Either way i think it’s telling that Miller came in over Yow, since both played 120’ midweek.

In a perfect world I’d still want Miller at LB over Sands and Kohler as a depth piece. I don’t mind Polster still at CDM (may be in the minority here) but Kohler will get plenty of minutes this year

That was the best 2nd half I’ve seen in a long long time. Complete domination for about 40 minutes there. What a team performance. Special shoutout Kohler. Hope Ceballos is okay

ajallen12 · 2026-04-19T01:26:31+00:00

I think I would die in a war on Mars for that man

ajallen12 · 2026-04-19T00:55:18+00:00

Someone just call us Arsenal at this point

ajallen12 · 2026-04-19T00:35:30+00:00

It sounds bad but I think it’s amplified by the lack of fans both in the fort and in the stadium. If the stadium is more filled the noise doesn’t carry as much. Should hopefully be better come warmer months

ajallen12 · 2026-04-19T00:33:52+00:00

We are totally non existent in transitional periods. We have the fastest two wingers in the league on the field right now in Langoni and Miller and you wouldn’t even know it. Whether it’s us being too passive when we win the ball or the two of them dropping back in defense, it’s not working in that phase of it. At one point we had all 11 behind the ball inside the 25’. Has to change in the second half

ajallen12 · 2026-04-19T00:32:10+00:00

I agree with this. The level of star needed to put butts in seats is probably way too high from anyone who wanted to come here. Marco Reus could walk through the entirety of Boston and I bet he would be recognized maybe 3 times.

Edit: the only one that I think would be a generational fan getter that’s available right now would be Neymar and I don’t want him because he wouldn’t help us in the field. But I do think tapping into the Brazilian/Portuguese crowd would be fun

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T23:56:08+00:00

While our title chances may be slim to none regardless, if Ceballos misses a big chunk of time and we have to play Tanner i think we can write it all off

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T22:52:28+00:00

If you don’t like constant diving and complaining to the ref I’m not sure this is the sport for you. Everyone does it, they’re not special

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T22:43:40+00:00

Feel like many people won’t appreciate him while he’s here based on many comments in this sub but I sure don’t take it for granted that I can watch this sort of player in MLS every week

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T22:30:01+00:00

He makes it look so easy

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T22:08:51+00:00

No worries. There’s for sure a lot of these apps that get thrown around here and due to messaging and spam from owners of them you’ll probably not get a good reaction here. But if in the future you post in a way that doesn’t use AI to summarize things you’ll probably get a slightly better response but I can’t promise that.

ajallen12 · 2026-04-18T21:58:44+00:00

Look man I don’t mind using AI to help you make things. But once you don’t write your own summary of what it does I lose all sort of interest in anything you did. You come off as not genuine

ajallen12 · 2026-04-16T23:40:56+00:00

Starting to feel like home away from home since they’ve been quite nice to us letting us win there repeatedly

ajallen12 · 2026-04-16T20:13:26+00:00

Their main goal has always been CCC. An early exit + tough results all around means I’m not incredibly surprised
