Everything in the Interconference Play posts is presented from an East Conference point of view. E.G., a Home game means the East team is Home.
This week two games, 1 home and 1 away.
East Record 0-2-0
Season To Date
East Record 29-36-29
At Home 22-9-16 (47 games)
On Road 7-27-13 (47 games)
Goal Differential -11
East Points 116
West Points 137
Ugh. After ending an 11-game unbeaten streak last week, the East is 0-3-0.
There are only 6 interconference games remaining this season, and NYCFC is in 2 of them: Dallas at Home and Houston Away. Over 94 games the West now has 7 more wins. I would love to get that down to 5 to minimize the sniping about how bad the East is. A 5 win differential over 100 games spread across 10 teams on each side does not signify top to bottom dominance. In the other direction, I want even more to keep the differential below 10 for the same reason. The Red Bulls and Toronto have no interconference games remaining so I have no difficulty rooting for the East the rest of the way. Philadelphia and Montreal both have one game left but I think NYC can sustain their lead even if they win those games.
