Week 3 (04/01)
Last Week’s Ranking in Parenthesis…
- Chicago (3): How do you seize #1 with a tie? Do it on the road without your two best defenders, that’s how.
- Seattle (7): From last to second in two weeks. Wow. If they convincingly beat Toronto this week, they will be #1.
- Chivas USA (5): Back-to-back wins has Preki feeling good about his ”no name” squad, and I like them too.
- Columbus (1): After back-to-back ties, Columbus has slipped from its perch. Their schedule now becomes brutal.
- Toronto (6): Toronto FC should maybe be even higher up. A well-fought draw and a win have them off to a hot start.
