  • Single Table v Playoffs, a Brit's viewSingle Table v Playoffs
  • The playoffs are all but set. Only Kansas City has a mathematical chance to crash the party, and they need to win their three remaining games(@CHI, @NE, SJ), while the Rapids lose their last two(@LA, RSL).
  • Is it time for Dallas to move or be sold? Barely 10,000 showed up to see them set the single season unbeaten record.
  • MLS attendance before and after the World Cup is almost exactly the same, just as it was in 2002 and 2006.
