2009 MLS Power Rankings: Week 5

Week 5 (04/15)

Last Week’s Ranking in Parenthesis…

  1. Chicago (2): Sure, their point total is lower than #2 and #3 below, but they have been so darn consistent.
  2. Chivas USA (3)Chivas stayed unbeaten and moves up, but it isn’t good when you can’t score on the Gals. 
  3. Seattle (1): It was their first loss. It was the first time they were shut out. Keller got a red. It was plain ugly.
  4. New England (4): When you don’t play, you don’t move. It’s always been my rule, and I won’t change it now.
  5. Salt Lake (5)RSL looked good winning at home over DCU and I think they will be moving up this list soon. 
  6. Colorado (6): The Rapids managed to salvage a tie on the road at CMB, and Casey is continuing to produce. 
  7. Kansas City (9)KC has looked better than anyone the last two weeks. Now, can they maintain the surge?
  8. D.C. (7)DC moves down one notch for the loss @ RSL, but they didn’t look ugly on the road, which is good. 
  9. Toronto (8): Toronto should have beat the Former Burn at home, but they didn’t. That doesn’t bode well. 
  10. San Jose (12): San Jose settled for a draw at home, but showed some spunk by scoring 3 goals on the Fire.
  11. Columbus (11): They should probably be moving down after tying at home, but the Rapids were very lucky. 
  12. L.A. (13): I can’t believe LA is actually climbing the ladder after tying 0-0, but at least the defense showed up. 
  13.  Houston (10): If you can’t beat NYRB at home, you probably aren’t going to win many games this year. 
  14. New York (14): NYRB gets shut out for the third straight week and still only has one goal for the season.
  15. Dallas (15): Hey, at least they finally got a point, right? But they were lucky to get it, and they are still terrible.
