MLS Power Rankings: Week 3

1. New York - This team has got it all, from a good and experienced goalkeeper to a 17-year old scoring goals
2. Houston - Can anyone tell De Rosario to get back to playing soccer again?
3. Chicago Fire - Solid outing from the Fire
4. Chivas USA - Razov has finally got his goal, but they'll need Amado Guevara to play his best to have any chance of winning MLS Cup
5. New England - Let their lead slip for a point at Columbus
6. Colorado - Probably trying to convince Kasey Keller to join them
7. Kansas City - 1 win, 1 loss, it can only mean being dead center of the rankings for now
8. FC Dallas - Get sweet revenge on the Rapids
9. Columbus Crew - Strangley they're undefeated and going better than DC and LA
10. D.C. United - Want to prove that they are still the real deal
11. Los Angeles - This team needs to get their head straight. First Beckham, now rumors of trading Donovan?
12. Real Salt Lake - John Ellinger is feeling the heat, although that is someting that's not uncommon
13. Toronto FC - Mo Johnston never seems to be happy with his team

MLS Power Rankings Week 2

1. Houston Dynamo (-) Win at home keeps them the team to beat
2. Colorado (+3) Manage a draw, despite being down to 10 men
3. Chicago (-1) A draw in Denver wouldn't have been a bad result, but it still seems like 2 points lost
4. New England (+3) Teaching Toronto how to play in MLS
5. Chivas USA (-1) A loss to Houston as Razov's hunt for goal number 100 goes on
6. New York Red Bulls (+2) Mathis could be the the biggest surprise of the season
7. Kansas City (+5) Eddie Johnson is playing near his best again! Curt Onalfo should be a coach of the year candidate for just doing that, let alone beating DC at RFK convincingly
8. Los Angeles (-2) Should be doing better, considering their squad, yet their rookie is the one scoring for them
9. Columbus (-) A tie away from home, though they still can't score
10. D.C. United (-7) No excuses this time, besided Toronto, the only team without a point
11. FC Dallas (-) Dallas are 11-0-2 when Kenny Cooper scores, which isn't hard to believe
12. Real Salt Lake (-1) Freddy Adu is not ready, or am I speaking too early
13. Toronto FC (-) This is going to be a long season for Toronto

Power Rankings

Based on predictions, CCC, Lamar Hunt Cup, etc. Very few changes though:
en
1. Houston Dynamo (-) haven't hurt their hold on first place
2. D.C. United (+1) Strong in CCC, and new signings (Fred, Emilio), have made them second to the Dynamo
3. New England (-1)
4. Chicago Fire (+2) haven't done much, just that other team's previously above them don't seem deserving of a higher spot.
5. Chivas USA (+2)
6. Los Angeles (+3)
7. Colorado Rapids (-3) just a completely different team from last year - is it for better or for worse?
8. New York Red Bulls (-) same old New York
9. Real Salt Lake (+1) Improved from last season offensively
10. Kansas City (+1) Losing Wolff won't help this team, but it seems they will play better this season
11. Columbus Crew (+1) Beating FC Dallas 3-0 in the Lamar Hunt Cup seems to be a good sign, or is Dallas a lot worse from last season
12. FC Dallas (-7) This probably won't be their year
13 Toronto FC (-) Still undecided
