Only in MLS could Los Angeles control its destiny in such a perverse manner.The Western Conference leaders faced two stark choices as it entered last night's match with FC Dallas. Bruce Arena's side could either (1) clinch the Supporters' Shield and seal a date with Seattle (sixth overall in the combined league table) in the first round of the playoffs with a win or a draw or (2) arrange a two-legged series with FCD (tied for fourth overall) and hand the Shield and the corresponding home-field advantage in the Western Conference final over to Real Salt Lake with a defeat.
