1. Indianapolis (1-0). Champs picked up right where they left off, and shut down a high-powered attack to boot.
2. New England (1-0). Welcome back, Randy Moss.
3. San Diego... oh wait, wrong rankings.
Ahem.
1. D.C. United (14-6-4). Cross-country trip had no ill affects for MLS's top side.
2. Chivas USA (12-6-4). 7-2-3 against Eastern Conference foes. Let me repeat that... SEVEN-TWO-AND-THREE against the "stronger" conference.
3. Houston (12-7-6). Took foot off gas early, but not too early, against a weak RSL side.
4. New England (12-6-6). Poised to take control of Eastern Conference before late collapse.
5. FC Dallas (12-8-3). Denilson scores, Dallas wins; Hoops fans hope that becomes a trend.
6. New York (11-10-3). Inconsistency reigns in New York.
7. Chicago (8-10-5). What's scary is that these guys (Blanco, Wanchope, Conde) are all just learning to play in MLS.
8. Kansas City (9-9-6). Did Davy Arnaud really play against Brazil?
9. Colorado (7-10-7). Bouna Time to Zach Time meant Bad Times for all.
10. Columbus (6-8-10). Playoffs might be fading away.
11. Real Salt Lake (4-12-6). Showed some life after falling behind 4-1.
12. Los Angeles (4-11-5). No Donovan, no Beckham, Pavon didn't start yet scored three times as many goals as previous three league games combined... go figure.
13. Toronto FC (5-13-5). Will this team ever score again?
7th for the Fire? Makes you wonder where they'd be if Osorio took charge earlier in the season and if Blanco didn't play with Mexico in the Gold Cup & Copa America.
ReplyDeleteBlanco has only been in town for 2 months and he's already the Grand Marshall for the 16th of September parade. Mayor's office in four years?
