As they sit in the locker rooms and step on the field for warm-ups tonight, many of the players and coaches for the Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders may be tempted to glance at the scoreboard for tonight’s lone MLS league contest, a marquee match between the New York Red Bulls and Los Angeles Galaxy on ESPN2.
A win by either of the two clubs in the league fixture will likely be a dagger for one of the Open Cup finalists.
The Sounders sit seven points pack of the Galaxy with three games remaining in their campaign. A win by Los Angeles tonight would clinch the Supporters’ Shield for the Galaxy as regular season champions.
Chicago, meanwhile, is in the midst of a hot run that has them clawing at the edge of the playoff zone, sitting three points back of the New York Red Bulls, who are currently occupying the final spot. A win by New York would make the gap six points with three games remaining in the Fire season and two for New York.
