2017 MLS Interconference Play – Week 8

April 23, 2017 by Mark Leave a Comment

There have been few interconference games the last 2 weeks:

Week 7 – 1 Game
East Record 1-0-0
At Home 1-0-0
On Road 0-0-0
Goal Differential +1
East Points 3
West Points 0

Week 8 – 2 Games
East Record 1-0-1
At Home 0-0-1
On Road 1-0-0
Goal Differential +2
East Points 4
West Points 1

Season To Date
East Record 10-8-9
At Home 7-1-5
On Road 3-7-4
Goal Differential +6
East Points 39
West Points 33

Atlanta has played 3 games against the West, all on the road, and their record is 2 Wins and 1 Draw. Their GD is +7. To be fair +5 of that was in their Week 2 game against Minnesota, when the Loons were a dumpster fire, especially on defense.

2017 MLS Interconference Play – Week 6

April 10, 2017 by Mark Leave a Comment

I’m keeping track again this year. With 22 teams the number of IC games has increased to 122, which is 11×11, plus Minnesota and Atlanta play each other twice.
Let’s catch up. As always I use the MLS W-L-T format.

Week 1 – 5 Games
East Record 0-2-3
At Home 0-1-0
On Road 0-1-3
Goal Differential -2
East Points 3
West Points 9

Week 2 – 5 Games
East Record 3-1-1
At Home 2-0-1
On Road 1-1-0
Goal Differential +6
East Points 10
West Points 4

Week 3 – 3 Games
East Record 1-2-0
At Home 0-0-0
On Road 1-2-0
Goal Differential -1
East Points 3
West Points 6

Week 4- 3 Games
East Record 2-0-1
At Home 2-0-1
On Road 0-0-0
Goal Differential +4
East Points 7
West Points 1

Week 5- 5 Games
East Record 1-1-3
At Home 1-0-1
On Road 0-1-2
Goal Differential -2
East Points 6
West Points 6

Week 6 – 3 Games
East Record 1-2-0
At Home 1-1-0
On Road 0-1-0
Goal Differential -2
East Points 3
West Points 6

Season To Date
East Record 8-8-8
At Home 6-1-4
On Road 2-7-4
Goal Differential +3
East Points 32
West Points 32

Through 24 games the conferences have exactly evenly matched records, and the West has played 2 extra home games.

Last year through 7 weeks the East was 7 games under .500 at 4-12-15 on April 19, 2016. Since then, through 103 games finishing out 2016 and starting 2017, the East is 36-34-33. Two games better than the West. To be fair the East played 3 extra games at home over those 103, but this is a record of evenly matched conferences. The East has a +7 GD over those 103 games. At what point do you think a professional soccer analyst will notice?
