Vancouver Whitecaps [2-1] DC United
The Whitecaps have seemingly found the perfect line-up, winning two in a row now. Camilo Sanvenzo struck in the first minute, and Long Tan scored his first career MLS goal. McDonald nodded home DC's lone goal on fantastoc service by Santino Quaranta to put DC back into the game, but unfortunately they couldn't find an equalizer.
Prediction: Correct
Chicago Fire [1-2] FC Dallas
In a match filled with play-off implications, the Fire surprisingly came out incredibly flat. FC Dallas capitalized and finally broke out of their four match scoreless run, netting two goals. Sebastian Grazzini put one back for the Fire, but by then it was too late.
Prediction: Correct
Portland Timber [0-2] Houston Dynamo
Portland Timber [0-2] Houston Dynamo
A loss at home to the Dynamo cast Portland's post-season hopes even further in doubt. If they can manage to win their last two matches of the season and have other results go their way they have hope, otherwise they're as good as eliminated.
Prediction: N/A

Colorado Rapids [0-0] Real Salt Lake
In an extremely physical match, the two sides couldn't break down the opposing defense nor convert their chances. After a 1-0 victory earlier in the season at Rio Tinto, RSL claims the Rocky Mountain Cup.
Prediction: Wrong
Saturday, October 15th
Sporting Kansas City [2-0] New York Red Bulls
The early ejection of Thierry Henry due to a clumsy challenge on Roger Espinoza ultimately doomed the Red Bulls, falling to SKC at the expense of goals by Teal Bunbury and CJ Sapong. With the victory SKC clinch their first play-off spot since 2008.
Prediction: Correct
Philadelphia Union [1-1] Toronto FC
Sebastian Le Toux continued his recent hot run of form, striking the Union's lone goal. Ryan Johnson evened the match for Toronto with a nice back-heel. A tie was all the Union needed to clinch their first ever play-off berth.
Prediction: N/A
New England Revolution [0-3] Columbus Crew
New England Revolution [0-3] Columbus Crew
New England continues with their defensive struggles, losing their fifth match in a row. With their second win in a row, Columbus is steadily pulling themselves together for a strong finish of the season.
Prediction: N/A
DC United [1-2] Chicago Fire
Deadlocked until the final minute of regulation time, Dwayne De Rosario converted a penalty drawn by Santino Quaranta. That wasn't the end of the story, however. The Fire rallied back in stoppage time and found an equalizer through Sebastian Grazzini, and then a game winner through Diego Chaves.
Prediction: N/A
FC Dallas [2-0] Vancouver Whitecaps
The Whitecaps end their 2011 season with the league's worst road record, a lowly 0-12-5. FC Dallas looks to be finishing the season strong, getting their second win in a row after a miserable four game losing streak. Having their main offensive weapons back on form certainly helps.
Prediction: Correct
Seattle Sounders FC [2-1] San Jose Earthquakes
Prediction: Correct
LA Galaxy [1-0] Chivas USA
Chad Barret provided the matches lone goal early on into the second half, after a first half filled with frustratingly missed opportunities. Without only one of their stars (David Beckham) on the field, it seems that the Galaxy have a hard time finding the back of the net.
Prediction: Correct
