We are half way thought the MLS Divisional Semifinals and all but one of the match-ups are playing out the way I expected. I have actually projected two of these 100% accurate, and another I was expecting a 1-1 draw and we got a 0-0 draw. After these weekend I am only worried about one of the teams I predicted to make the conference finals not making it. Let's look at where these match-up stand:
Eastern Conference - #3 Columbus vs #2 New England
I was expecting for a 2-1 win at home for Columbus and for New England to finish business at home and move on. Well New England has taken all the drama out of this one by destroying Columbus 4-2 on the road. It will take a small miracle for Columbus to get back in this as they will either need to win by 3 goals, or by 2 goals and either score 4 goals (which will put it in to extra time) or more. I see New England cruising in the return leg and easily moves on to the conference finals.
