March to the Match Podcast: Who'll win Supporters' Shield? Portland-Real Salt Lake is the first domino -
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wednesday, October 16</span></strong><h2> Match of the Year?</h2><p class="rteleft">All 10 matches in Week 34 of MLS play have huge playoff significance. But only one will set the dominoes falling toward who will win the Supporters&#39; Shield: Portland vs. Real Salt Lake. It&#39;s our &quot;Marquee Matchup&quot; this week and may be the best game you&#39;ll watch this year. Plus, madness in CONCACAF! How on earth did the USMNT shatter Panama&#39;s dreams ... and throw a life preserve to Mexico, of all teams? And what&#39;s behind Jurgen Klinsmann&#39;s turnaround masterpiece in his two-and-a-half years in charge?</p>
