Harrison, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Red Bull New York and Toronto FC will meet on Saturday for a massive clash at Red Bull Arena that figures to have major implications on the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Toronto enters the contest in sixth place in the table with 40 points, but the club was left reeling after suffering a 1-0 defeat to the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday. My message to the guys was, what we lost today was our margin of error for the rest of the season, TFC head coach Greg Vanney said after the loss. Vanneys sentiments were echoed by Torontos veterans as Michael Bradley clearly laid out the clubs target for its three remaining games. Take nine points and Im pretty sure were going to be right there, the United States international said. Bradley is correct; a perfect record the rest way would see Toronto sneak into the postseason. Toronto can drop points and still emerge from the regular season, but it would take other favorable results to help the Canadian club. Destiny is still in our own hands but it makes it a little bit harder the next three games, rookie defender Nick Hagglund said. We have to win so we have to be precise and stay together and this is something we can learn from. New York also controls its own destiny, though. The Red Bulls bounced back from a humiliating defeat to the Los Angeles Galaxy to collect a hard-fought win over Houston and move four points clear of the playoff divide. Massive three points, RBNY head coach Mike Petke said after the win. Again, similar to L.A. in one sense as we had hit the crossbar I think twice in the first half and we had two other clear opportunities that didnt go in but we showed tremendous character with the guys we put out there and to get this result is huge. Thierry Henry produced the lone goal in the win over Houston, a good omen that the club has its talisman in good form as crunch time approaches. Ive been in this league for a little while and you know, you have to take it game by game, henry said. Ive been here for four years and the guys that have been here with me for a little while know that always its a must win game. Every team we play is a must win game because we had some difficulty to find some consistency this year and thankfully for us, were on a good run now and we have to keep on going.

A shock defeat to Georgia in their final warm-up game gave the 2008 and 2012 winners food for thought before they travelled to France on the hunt of an unprecedented Euro treble.With question marks hanging over Vicente del Bosques goalkeeping and attacking options, coupled with a lack of creativity in midfield, Sky Sports Spanish football expert offers his thoughts on his nations hopes... Spain stutter in preparations Tornike Okriashvili hit the winner as Spain lost their final pre-Euro 2016 warm-up match Even though it was a friendly, losing against Georgia is considered one of the worst defeats in the history of the Spanish national team. As Del Bosque said, it was the perfect game to galvanise everybodys interest and to end preparations on a high note but none of that happened, despite a strong team being fielded.What happened instead was Georgia, as is going to happen with many teams at Euro 2016, defended really deep. There were no spaces, in part to Spain not creating any, but there are no excuses as Spain have to work harder to create those spaces. Sky Sports Euro 2016 predictor Make your predictions with our interactive wall chart here You do that by moving the ball around quickly, not by playing long but by playing to their strengths with depth on the wings and with full-backs that surprise instead of simply being there - a lot of things that didnt happen against Georgia.I had a suspicion that, having won so much, there seems to be less interest, and pressure, for Spain to win. That is lethal. I get the impression Spain need new answers and a new way of doing things, sometimes coaches run their course and something new is needed. Georgia inflicted one of the worst defeats in Spanish football history, says Guillem Balague I dont know who will be the next coach and I could of course be proven wrong, it just feels teams have worked Spain out and it will even be difficult to come out of the group.Decisions, decisions, decisions... Who will Vicente Del Bosque pick - Iker Casillas or David de Gea? As far as the debate for the Spanish goalkeeping position is concerned, for me it should be David de Gea. However, even people that know Del Bosque closely dont know what he is going to do. Iker Casillas hasnt had a great season but, in fairness, thats the least of Spains worries.Even who will be number nine is the least of Spains worries, I think it will be Alvaro Morata, fitness permitting. The problems concern whether Spain play enough football to beat the kind of defences that lie in wait in France. Nolito key for Spain? Hes not the biggest name in Spains squad but Nolito could be a crucial figure at Euro 2016. At the moment, Del Bosque is playing with one central midfielder but he may decide to play Bruno Soriano alongside Sergio Busquets. I just think the three in front of the holding midfielder have to improve their movement and passing. Balagues Spain starting XI (4-1-4-1) De Gea Juanfran Ramos Pique Alba Busquets Silva Fabregas Iniesta Nolito Morata 2008, 2012, 2016.dddddddddddd..?Spain will compete in France because theyve got the players, they will reach the quarter-finals for sure but after that, who knows. But... need I mention the 2014 World Cup? Unless the team increases the intensity both in passing and in recovering possession, we will find it very hard to beat sides. Spains run of three consecutive tournament victories ended with a group-stage exit in Brazil Dark horses? Spain find themselves paired with two of the tournaments dark horses in Croatia and Turkey. Croatia have got great quality with Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric in midfield, as well as players with proven European pedigree in Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic and Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic. Luka Modrics Croatia are aiming to spring a surprise at Euro 2016 If Turkey progress through the group, they could do damage. They have a lot of quality up front but are generally a very balanced side.I like the look of Austria and Im intrigued to see Bayern Munichs David Alaba deployed in central midfield. They also have Stokes Marko Arnautovic and Leicesters Christian Fuchs, who weve seen can handle pressure.Recent tournament underachievers Belgium come to mind. Its not like Spain pre-2008, but there is so much potential there with the likes of Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku that if they work together, even with Vincent Kompany missing, it could be a good opportunity to prove how good this generation of players is. Eden Hazard (left) and Romelu Lukaku feature in a star-studded Belgium squad When it came to the key moments in tournaments over the past few years, Belgium didnt seem to be strong enough mentally. That is a problem theyll have to address. But, with Belgium neighbouring France, perhaps Marc Wilmots side can benefit from some added home support.
