MLS Power Rankings: Week 11

Now that the US has already played a game in the World Cup, most everyone's attention is focused on that with little left to fall on MLS. For better or worse MLS is still playing some games and we would be remiss if we didn't give it some love by way of our renowned power rankings.

12 - LA Galaxy (2-9-2)

The goals are coming fast and furious now (yes, that's sarcasm). Two games at home last week and they could only manage a point. That's not enough to move the about of the cellar but the future is look a lot brighter with Frank Yallop at the helm. I mean, Galaxy players are actually being put at positions that they should be. It's a start.

11 - New York Red Bulls (1-2-7)

Seriously. Winning is a pretty cool thing to do. They should try it every once in a while. Yeah, they're not losing but drawing every game isn't going to get them much higher than the second to last spot in the league that they are now.

10 - Real Salt Lake (3-6-2)

They need to find their spark again. Losing to the Rapids, even if it was in Denver, just won't do it.

9 - Chicago Fire (2-3-5)

They had the win for their home opener right there in front of them then had to settle for a tie. Pity. There are no more excuses not to start winning now that they're finally at home.

8 - Chivas USA (4-5-1)

An awesome goal from Ante Razov isn't enough to keep the Goats from (temporarily I'm sure) dropping a spot this week. The Rapids got a win. It's just the way it goes but I'm not concerned for Chivas USA.

7 - Colorado Rapids (5-4-2)

They beat RSL. Whoo-hoo. Now they have a week off. And yes, I do realize they have more points then a couple of teams ahead of them in the rankings. They keep winning it'll sort out. Patience.

6 - Columbus Crew (4-5-2)

They already knew KC was just going to score 1 goal. Where was the gusto? Go for 2 and you win. Tsk, tsk. It cost them a spot.

5- New England Revolution (3-4-3)

Spoiled the Fire's home opener by sticking them with the tie. Getting 1 point is better than the 0 points they've been getting lately.

4 - Kansas City Wizards (5-4-2)

Only 1 goal. Again. At least they got their first win in what seems like ages.

3 - Houston Dynamo (5-3-3)

They should have done better against the Red Bulls but it was enough to remain 3rd in the rankings.

2 - FC Dallas (7-2-3)

Got the win wearing those awful blue and yellow uniforms they wore to show their connection with their partners from the south. Still trail DCU in the league though.

1 - DC United (7-1-4)

A gorgeous goal by Christian Gomez wasn't enough to get the win. A flat performance but got the point on the road and remain at the top of the league and the power rankings.
