With only a single game remaining in the regular season (with the exception of Chivas USA having 2 games) the Galaxy are on top of the Western Conference. That top spot currently has them tied on points (45) along with Houston Dynamo and Chivas USA. All 3 teams have sealed a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Seattle Sounders FC have also claimed a spot from the West only 1 point behind the leaders at 44.
This is what the Western Conference looks like today:
45 Los Angeles
45 Houston
45 Chivas USA
44 Seattle
40 Colorado
39 FC Dallas
37 Real Salt Lake
30 San Jose
The Galaxy finish up the season on with the San Jose Earthquakes at home. A win will ensure them at least a top 2 position in the West if not the #1 seed from the West. The Galaxy have tiebreakers but Chivas USA still have a game in hand.
Likely 1st round opponents could be the Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, or Seattle Sounders FC. Who do you hope to see the Galaxy take out in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs?
