*Week 16 Matchups: San Diego @ Seattle; New England v New York; Toronto @ DC; LA @ New Orleans*
There aren’t too many Canadian playing on MLR teams outside of Toronto this weekend as many are with Canada in Wales. There are two Saturday matches and two on Sunday. The LA v NOLA match will be key, a win for LA almost ensures them the West title while a win for NOLA would allow them to gain on Atlanta in the East.
