    You hate to say "must win" but with 2 games coming up with Houston, I'd probably call them critical.

    TFC have 4 games in hand on Houston and sit 3 points above them. 6 points directly taken from Houston would seemingly put them out of the catching TFC for a playoff spot conversation.

    I'd say 4 points is probably critical, 6 points would be great. Anything less could be terrible for us.

    Really, if we were to get even 4 points in the next four games that would be fine.

    Soccer is streaky and 3 points for a win means a small streak can rocket you forward a few spots in a very short period of time.

    Week 18 and we've been bumped right back up to 4th. Also Houston is fulfilling my pre-season expectations that they would struggle, although I expected it to be because of their lack of goalscorers. Not that they have a great offense or anything, but their defense has been absolutely horrid at a league-worst 38 goals allowed in 19 games.

    Vancouver down to 7 and leaking goals like anything. It's what happens when your two starting defenders are 35 year olds.

    Even though the power rankings are really just a few peoples' opinions and mean very little, I really can't believe we're sitting at fourth.

    And I can't believe DC are one spot ahead of us!

    The two bottom dwellers from last year have turned the table.

    So I get a kick out of reading the Power Rankings sometimes...just to see what they say. Reading the comments about Portland's last ranking in week 29 "Gave up multiple goals for the third time in the last four, and once again did so against one of the league's feeblest attacks." Is that still how TFC are perceived? Feeble attack? Maybe in other years but I wouldn't say that this year. Not saying we are the strongest by a long shot but I think to use the word "feeble" is not right. Good thing it is just someone's opinion.

    TFC is 12th in the league in goals for out of 19 teams. Not of the best but not feeble either. I actually think TFC looks like they can score at any random time.
