MLS 2013, Week 21 preview and fixtures: A less-than-titanic top of the table clash

And you thought a top of the table clash would be awesome.

USA TODAY Sports

A pre-All-Star Game clash between the two best teams in the league should be must-see TV. Instead, Salt Lake host Matt Besler-less Kansas City without Kyle Beckerman and Alvaro Saborio. Oh, and it’s not on TV.

Toronto FC vs. New York Red Bulls

Saturday, 4 p.m. ET - MLS Live

Consider this: Toronto, as a franchise, would kill to be as successful as New York.

Pick: New York, 2-0.

Seattle Sounders vs. Colorado Rapids

Saturday, 4 p.m. ET - MLS Live

The Rapids’ kids probably think the Sounders’ injuries are hilarious. Just wait until they grow old (and by old, I mean 26).

Pick: Draw, 1-1.

Montreal Impact vs. FC Dallas

Saturday, 7 p.m. ET - MLS Live

These teams used to lead their respective conferences. Now they’re trying to fend off implosion.

Pick: Montreal, 2-1.

Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET - MLS Live

The loser has to change their crest once and for all. So does the winner.

Pick: Draw, 1-1.

Philadelphia Union vs. Portland Timbers

Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET - MLS Live

The Timbers are aware that they don’t have to draw away, right?

Pick: Draw, 1-1.

Chicago Fire vs. D.C. United

Saturday, 8:30 p.m. ET - MLS Live

Ugh.

Pick: No.

Real Salt Lake vs. Sporting Kansas City

Saturday, 10 p.m. ET - MLS Live

Who would have ever thought we’d miss Kyle Beckerman’s dreadlocks so? Go away, Gold Cup.

Pick: Salt Lake, 2-0.

LA Galaxy vs. Vancouver Whitecaps

Saturday, 10:30 p.m. ET - MLS Live

Galaxy gameplan: Concede first, don’t lead going into the last five minutes.

Pick: LA, 1-0.
