MLS power rankings
Joshua Mayers' weekly MLS power rankings
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
| Joshua Mayers' MLS power rankings | ||
| Rankings appear Wednesdays during the regular season | ||
| Team (prev. rank) | Comment | |
| 1 | L.A. Galaxy (1) | Now it's hold-on time as L.A. potentially plays its next 4 matches without Donovan & Buddle |
| 2 | Columbus Crew (2) | One of two teams with a flawless record at home will play four of its next five on the road |
| 3 | San Jose 'Quakes (3) | Earned a workmanlike point in N.E., can they keep it up in front of 36K at Qwest Field on Sat.? |
| 4 | Real Salt Lake (7) | Don't look now, but the defending champs have won 3 straight and lead the league in scoring |
| 5 | Colorado Rapids (6) | Won two games on the road last year. Have already won three games in five tries away in '10 |
| 6 | N.Y. Red Bulls (4) | Still lead the East, but have lost two games in a row and have a negative goal differential (-1) |
| 7 | Houston Dynamo (5) | Got roughed up by Salt Lake, but two home games against lowly D.C. and Philly will be nice |
| 8 | Sounders FC (11) | Early struggles will be all but forgotten with a convincing home win against the Earthquakes |
| 9 | FC Dallas (8) | Unbeaten in five games (2-0-3) and look especially sharp with GK Kevin Hartman as a starter |
| 10 | Toronto FC (9) | Escaped road trip to L.A. with a point thanks to four saves in last 17 minutes by GK Stefan Frei |
| 11 | Chicago Fire (12) | In desperate need of a spark during a winless month of May, but get three straight at home |
| 12 | K.C. Wizards (13) | Many remember his "miss of the century," but Kei Kamara has five goals in 10 shots on goal |
| 13 | Chivas USA (10) | Consistently inconsistent Goats are now dead last in the West, but would be third in the East |
| 14 | N.E. Revolution (14) | Winless now in six games (0-4-2). Dreadful offense ruining a great season by GK Preston Burpo |
| 15 | Philadel. Union (15) | Got a stoppage-time equalizer from No. 1 draft pick Danny Mwanga to earn a point at home |
| 16 | D.C. United (16) | Been competitive in a pair of 1-0 losses recently, but four goals scored is by far MLS worst |
