We'll be playing a West foe, either Houston or Chivas. As for not confirming 10/27 yet, Houston could still finish ahead of Chivas, thereby changing our opponent. And TV has yet to weigh in on the matchups. I don't know if ESPN is showing any games, or if Telefutura still has their Sunday MLS slot. If they do, I would think Chivas-FCD might get moved to Sunday for TV. Not a qualified fact, just a wild guess at the variables that could be involved.... swb –

But this is MLS and things do change. Swb, while it is the best 8 teams make the playoffs, the brackets are still done by conference. FCD in 3rd will play the West #2. Only if the extra 5th East team makes it will that worst east team shift to the west and play the West #1 in place of the West #4 who didn't make the playoffs.
