With four games left in the schedule, Boston remains a tough team to go up against. While the postseason is off the table for them, they could provide some massive upsets in these final weeks — they have games against Portland Thorns, San Diego Wave and Angel City to come — and they could prove to be a spoiler in the tightly contested league table.

So much of the Boston roster was brought in from outside the league that it was clear they'd have trouble getting the chemistry right in time to make the playoffs, whereas Denver built a team more likely to gel in time for this year's playoffs. The flip side of that is that I feel the Legacy's ceiling is higher, so I expect y'all to finish higher than the Summit next season.

    That's the hope. We have really looked good for stretches. The organization and players so far are really bought into the system that Patao is trying to set up. We've seen some really great performances, but it feels like not all the pieces are there yet. I think the hope is that some key players recovering from injury and some additional key signings might be enough to make a credible run for the postseason next year.
