Another good info here.

This is the last round of the MLS regular championship.

The Columbus Crew have had a terrible season. After winning the title last season, this year they are sitting 10th in the table and need a miracle to qualify for the playoffs: win this match and wait for a defeat of New York Red Bulls, DC United and Montreal. Even then, the Crew need to overcome a goal difference of 6 goals.

They are not doing bad at home, where they have won 6 of the last 7 games played. It’s almost impossible but they would really go for the victory here. And they have enough quality to achieve it and are in good form lately.

On the other hand, Chicago Fire is the main reason for this pick. They are sitting 12 in the table (of 14) without any target right now.

This week Chicago Fire had decided to tell several players (rumours says 9), including a handful of regular starters, that they weren’t coming back next year, before the final game of the season was over. The reason is to give the players more time to sort out their futures.

The list of players is still unknown, only Alvaro Medran (starter) is known so far. This week was crazy in the club because there were many rumours, and players surely are affected too. You can imagine the motivation they may have for this match: zero. Knowing that this will be their last match and need to search another club, they will play at 10% to avoid injuries.

Apart from this, two key players are out too. Francisco Calvo has been given permission to join his Costa Rica teammates early, while Gastón Giménez, whose wife is about to give birth to their first child.

As you can see, the situation in the Chicago Fire is far from good. They will have zero motivation for this match and everybody is thinking about everything except this match: to play with the national team, to assist in the birth of his child, to sign for another club…

Furthermore, Chicago Fire has been a terrible traveler this season: the worst of the whole MLS, with only 2 wins and 12 defeats in 16 games played, conceding 34 goals and scoring only 13.

Columbus is in good form and the Fire are a shambles. It's not hard to see the Crew winning this one, who has much more quality and will have more motivation.

这里还有一个很好的信息。

这是美国职业足球大联盟常规赛的最后一轮比赛。

哥伦布船员经历了一个可怕的季节。在上赛季赢得冠军后，今年他们在积分榜上排名第十，需要奇迹才能晋级季后赛:赢得这场比赛，然后等待纽约红牛、DC联队和蒙特利尔队的落败。即使那样，Crew也需要克服6个进球的差距。

他们在主场表现不错，在过去的7场比赛中他们赢了6场。这几乎是不可能的，但他们真的会在这里争取胜利。他们有足够的能力实现这一目标，而且最近状态很好。

另一方面，芝加哥火灾是这个选择的主要原因。他们目前在14个席位中占12个席位，没有任何目标。

本周，芝加哥火焰队决定在赛季最后一场比赛结束之前，告诉几名球员(传言9)，包括一些常规先发球员，他们明年不会回来。这样做的原因是给玩家更多的时间来选择自己的未来。

球员名单还不清楚，目前只知道Alvaro Medran(先发)。这周对俱乐部来说是疯狂的，因为有很多谣言，球员们肯定也受到了影响。你可以想象他们对这场比赛的动机:零。知道这将是他们的最后一场比赛，他们需要寻找另一家俱乐部，他们将以10%的比例比赛以避免受伤。

除此之外，两名关键球员也出局了。弗朗西斯科·卡尔沃(Francisco Calvo)已经被允许提前加入他在哥斯达黎加的队友队伍，而Gastón Giménez的妻子即将生下他们的第一个孩子。

如你所见，芝加哥大火的情况很不乐观。他们对这场比赛没有任何动力，每个人都在考虑着除了这场比赛以外的一切:为国家队踢球，帮助孩子的出生，签约另一家俱乐部……

此外，芝加哥火焰队本赛季是一个糟糕的球员:整个大联盟中最糟糕的，在16场比赛中只有2胜12负，失34球，只进13球。

哥伦布状态很好，而火焰号却一团糟。不难看到船员们赢得了这一项，他们有更多的素质，将有更多的动力。
