The penultimate week of the MLS regular season has concluded, so every team (except RSL) has one game remaining. There are a number of races, and some unlikely scenarios, still in play. The Sounders, with some help, could win the Western Conference. The Impact could feasibly eliminate the Crew from the playoffs. Next week’s Philadelphia-NYCFC matchup will be a winner-take-all to avoid playing D.C. United in the playoffs, unless DCU throw a wrench into things by beating Chicago.
Let’s take a look around the league:
Atlanta and the Red Bulls both win
New York beat the Union 1-0, which keeps the Supporters’ Shield race going.
