I'll be damned if MLS fukkery isn't at an all-time high.
The league was just like, let's take away every high profile team's best players with 3 games left for the sake of true parity
So Seattle pulled the first ever "club over country" EPL bullshyt move (who else, really) by claiming Dempsey was still injured, waiting until right after the roster was out to say he was ok again
LA has Donovan and Keane taken away and is planning on asking them back from USA/IRE after their first Friday games
KC, Houston has their top players out
so you got three MASSIVE in-conference games today
Houston (3rd in East but has 4 teams at their heels) vs KC (trying for 1st place in the East)
Seattle (trying for the Shield/1st place in the West) vs Vancouver (last chance for playoffs)
San Jose vs Colorado (last chance SJ, with Colorado their nearest rivals)
