The Dynamo-Galaxy draw leaves Chivas as the only team that can catch Columbus for the Supporters’ Shield. If they lose to the Fire on Thursday, it’s all over. A draw would leave Chivas needing to make up a six-goal difference on the final weekend (the head-to-head is even, 3-3 agg).

Word.
That would be awesome matchups. All 4 games in the west would be big sellouts.
Think if TFC play the Crew and the Reds invade Columbus?

Amen Todd, those matchups would be incredible.
Over and above the nail-bitter of games this year, the Houston-Seattle connection goes back a long way, including the head coach, as they have a lot of ex-Sounders on that team.

The MLS is unbelievably exciting. Close to a four way tie for first in the West. Are you kidding me ?!?
To all the Euro-lovers, you sure the regular season doesn’t matter when there is a playoff ? Tell that to Chicago, Toronto, DC, Dallas, etc.
Maybe the top team ( Seattle ) has already clinched, but they are fighting to have home field advantage, right down to the 90th min in the final game.

Go Sounders.

I hope its Seattle-Houston, Galaxy-Chivas when it gets settled. Those first round match-ups would be f’in awesome.

With all due respect, f*** the Galaxy.

How will the league decided the a possible three way tie between Chivas USA, Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy? The problem arises from the fact that Chivas and Seattle played an extra game against each other.
The unbalanced schedule comes back to bite the league in the butt!

I, too, am really looing forward to the final weekend and the playoffs this year. I hope my Rapids can finally revive in Salt Lake, they’ve been sinking like a lead balloon.

However, I hope we get a single table with play-offs next year. Columbus, the team with the best record, will get a better team than the 4rth best record Chicago Fire. Plus, I’m going to need glasses after constantly collasping the two conference tables in my head. Thanks for the table above.
