MLS Cup: Format tougher for East seeds

The 2008 MLS Cup tournament begins on Thursday, October 30, and while Houston get to play the worst qualifying team (ranked eighth on a single table), Columbus (who won the true championship of MLS -- the Supporters Shield) have to play the sixth team overall, a streaking Kansas City. And thanks to MLS Cup's farcical format, Chicago face New England, while Chivas USA get Salt Lake. Here's the rundown of match-ups.


EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS
#2 (#3) Chicago vs. #3 (#4) New England
#1 (#1) Columbus vs. #4 (#6) Kansas City

WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS
#2 (#5) Chivas USA vs. #3 (#7 ) Salt Lake
#1 (#2)Houston vs. #4 (#8) New York

*Conference Rank (Single-Table Rank)
