Josef Martinez is a good example of meeting my proven goal scorer request at face value... but a player that @stlcitysc.com is almost assuredly not interested in for almost every other reason.
Going into his age 33 season, hasn't played more than 1900 min since 2019... #AllForCITY

Pretty much a good result from Colorado and a bad result from either RSL or Dallas will get them in.
But a COL loss straight up will keep them out so I'm personally going into this weekend wanting us to win + LAFC to steamroll them.

The larger story in the 2025 @stlcitysc.com finale will be whether RSL makes the playoffs. Here are the scenarios for them & how we can help play spoiler.
But in STL? This #AllForCITY game could be David Critchley's clincher in getting the full time head coaching position too.
