Saturday showdowns

The next-to-last weekend of MLS action sees the teams broken down into three groups:

1. In the playoffs, still alive for Supporters Shield
2. Not yet in the playoffs
3. Out of the playoffs

Every contending team has two games left except Chivas USA, which has three.

We'll update this glance as the day goes on, pressbox wi-fi permitting (wi-fi or not, check Twitter updates).
