Decision Day is almost here, and we're bringing in a special guest to help break it all down!
Matt and Gabe are joined by David Gass from Soccerwise for an in-depth preview of the Columbus Crew's regular-season finale against the Chicago Fire and a look at how the Eastern Conference playoff bracket could take shape.
With Columbus riding an incredible late-season surge, the conversation begins with the Crew's transformation. Then it's time to dissect Chicago.
How dangerous are Robert Lewandowski, Philip Zinckernagel, and Jonathan Bamba? Where are the Fire vulnerable defensively? And how can Columbus take advantage of the matchup?
The discussion expands across the Eastern Conference. From Cincinnati and Philadelphia to Miami, Charlotte, Orlando, and New England, the playoff picture could look very different by the end of Decision Day.
Can the Crew avoid the Wild Card? Who gets the most favorable postseason draw? And just how dangerous is this Columbus team heading into the playoffs?
Join Matt, Gabe, and David Gass for a full episode of tactical analysis, predictions, and MLS Decision Day discussion.
