It’s difficult to travel cross-country and earn points on the road, even against not-so-good teams. Case and point: San Diego were far from their best in a 1-1 draw at Atlanta that might have officially ended their Shield hopes. But their last three matches are very winnable, and crazier things have happened.
This is still the best expansion team we’ve ever seen, no matter what. They’re on 57 points, tied for the most in a debut season, and are one result (win or draw) away from outright owning the record.
