Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 3647457, member: 97"] Hartford Athletic is virtually guaranteed to make the playoffs as they only need to finish first or second in their group and 3 out of the other 4 are reserve teams against which HA is 5-0. The real test for them will be the three games against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, which, like Hartford, is an independent team that has as its primary mission winning rather than developing players for an MLS squad to play or use as saleable assets. The teams are not playing balanced schedules as Pittsburgh lost 1-0 for the second time to what may be the league's best club, Indy, that beat Hartford 4-1 recently in Athletic's only non-group game of the year.
