MLS Week 29: What happened, and what now for eliminated teams?

MLS Week 29 had its share of playoff consequences. Montreal picked up a huge 5-1 win over Philadelphia, adding to the intrigue of the Eastern Conference race. Toronto FC, who need to go on a Seattle-like winning streak to have any chance at the postseason, stomped on the LA Galaxy’s playoff odds with a wacky 5-3 win. Real Salt Lake could have jumped to third in the West had they been able to hold onto a 1-0 lead at home against Minnesota.

But today, we’ll focus for the last time on the teams who have no shot. We’re counting seven teams as definitively out: San Jose, Colorado, Minnesota, Houston, LA, Chicago and Orlando City.
