The push for the 2016 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs is becoming clearer by the week.
Dallas confirmed their involvement last Saturday. Toronto, LA Galaxy, New York City and New York Red Bulls will do the same if results go their way in this round of games.
Colorado Rapids are close but progress has been relatively slow in recent months. With the wonderful exception of that win at Toyota Stadium, they have been inching their way towards the post-season. Much of the familiar defensive frugality is on show but goals are at a premium. However, in fairness, they created enough clear chances against San Jose last weekend.
