Finally, we have some playoff teams! In Week 31, fans of Major League Soccer saw the LA Galaxy, FC Dallas, and our beloved D.C. United clinch spots in the postseason. On the flip side, we now know that fans in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Denver will not have a season to watch beyond the last day of matches on October 25th. With 3 weeks left in this season and several teams still in the hunt for playoffs, now is the time for the stars to shine and do what's necessary to join LA, the Red Bulls, DC and Dallas in the tournament.
Week 32 will only see 3 games as the rest of the league takes a break for the international window. Some teams will need that rest to make one last push or to solidify their playoff positions. It will be interesting to see who snags the final slots in the postseason and which teams will be left on the outside looking in.
The Galaxy hold off the Red Bulls to stay in the top spot of this week's rankings. Our beloved United leap up 4 spots this week to #11, while Philadelphia are now the tenants in the basement. So, now it's your turn fans. Is United finally turning the corner? Which team is next to make the playoffs and which is the next to be eliminated? You know the drill by now...the comments section is your friend, so use it!
