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.
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.


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.
