The MLS is hitting a home stretch of regular season games, leading into the post season, where only one of the twelve MLS clubs is already eliminated. Even Los Angeles has the opportunity to pull off déjà vu, as last year they accomplished the same thing—the last seed from the regular season—but winners of the Cup title.

The two toughest games of the week are the match-ups of Real Salt Lake versus Houston and Dallas versus Los Angeles. 5 and 6 facing off against 2 and 1 of the Western Conference in a nail-biter to edge out that last playoff spot.

Western club, Colorado also plays an important match against Eastern club, the New York Red Bulls, as they only have a slight lead over both Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles in the West.

Are the top dogs—DC, Dallas, Chicago, and Houston—going to fight it out for this years MLS Cup title, or is another sleeping club going to emerge as unlikely champions? Write us back with your pick for the 2006 MLS Cup title.
