There are three big races to pay attention to in the final three weeks of the MLS season: The top of the Western Conference, between FC Dallas, Sporting KC and LAFC; the race for sixth in the west, between RSL and the LA Galaxy; and the East’s red line squabble between D.C. United and the Montreal Impact. Also keep an eye on Columbus and Philadelphia competing for a home playoff game, and whether the Sounders can move from fifth to third over LAFC and Portland.
After a week of blowouts and 0-0 draws in crucial matches, let’s take a look at some players who will play big roles in this final stretch run:
