Looks about right to me except for Orlando City. In my opinion they will be bottom 3 all season. Defense and depth looks very weak.
I guess we bump up to 5 then.

#3 at SI ranking. bit generous IMO
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Is it just me or has the collective US soccer media ignored the fact that New England were without their two best players on the weekend? Not trying to take anything away form Seattle, but it's a pretty important footnote to all the praise being heaped upon them.
Seattle also had no Alonso. but yeah, losing Jones and Nguyen does suck for NEOriginally Posted by MartinUtd

In, arguably, the only speculative rankings that matter (because people are putting cold hard cash on their opinions), the bookies have us tied for 7th place to win the MLS Cup (at 16/1). Pretty nice price if you ask me. Jump on it now. If we keep playing like we did in Vancouver it will come in fast.
LA Galaxy 4.5
Seattle Sounders 6
New England Revolution 9
DC United 11
New York Red Bulls 15
Real Salt Lake 15
Toronto FC 17
New York City 17
Orlando City 21
FC Dallas 21
Columbus Crew 21
Portland Timbers 21
Sporting Kansas City 21
Houston Dynamo 41
Colorado Rapids 41
Vancouver Whitecaps 51
Philadelphia Union 51
San Jose Earthquakes 67
Montreal Impact 67
Chicago Fire 67

Week 13 power rankings: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/articl...er-two-win-wee
This week we surely move up a few more spots after beating the best team in the east at home.
Goals for and against are looking pretty solid. Defence is definitely shoring up.
The East needs a 3rd powerhouse team. Can TFC join the top 3 permenently or is this just a fad?
Think this is worth a bump: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/articl...bastian-giovin
TFC jumps up to #3.
we're legit yo
"Thanks to the formation change and the progress of young defenders Eriq Zavaleta and Ashtone Morgan."
The Chicago and Dallas games prove that Gio can do all the godly soccering he wants, but if we can't defend, it's kinda pointless. Props to Vanney and his coaching staff for sorting it out so far.
don't jinx it!!! Just don't Jinx it!!!
Meh...the only power ranking that matters is over the red line at the end of the season.
Until then, as Perquis says
"We continue, we progress ! "
