Ranking | Team | Notes |
1 | Columbus | Two-time defending Supporter Shield winners outclass Canadians with Schelloto picking up where he left off with goal and assist. |
2 | RSL | MLS Cup champs defend title with a big win on the road. Javier Morales scores two to take a very early lead for Golden Boot. |
3 | Seattle | MLS sophomores beat-up the freshmen team. Rain did not dter a sellout crowd as Sounders were in total control all night. |
4 | LA | No Beckham, no problem as Galaxy win at home thanks to Edson Buddle's early goal. |
5 | Houston | Dynamo grab a point on the road despite losing two national team players in the off-season. |
6 | Colorado | Omar Cummings' second-half goal was all that the Rapids needed in the opening week's least eventful game. |
7 | Kansas City | The Wizards' 4-0 blow-out of their former coach's new team has to be the biggest surprise of week one. |
8 | Chicago | Poor finishing bit the Fire as they fall to 2009's worst team despite outshooting them 8 to 3. |
9 | NYRB | Red Bull get a fresh start in the MLS Taj Mahal, they need to win on the road to prove they are for real. |
10 | Toronto | Four new players added in the days leading up to opening day and a new coach led to a punchless loss for TFC. |
11 | Dallas | Luckily for FCD, only 8,000 fans showed up to see them draw in-state rivals - really? Only 8,000 for opening day? |
12 | New England | The Revolution better find some offense quickly - they had no shots on goal in their opening day loss. |
13 | DC | What happened to this once proud franchise? New season brings them still playing in RFK Stadium and getting blown out. |
14 | Chivas | 2008 Sacha Kljestan where are you? The USA Goats desperately need the video game poster boy to regain his form. |
15 | Philly | Tough way to start their MLS history - on the road, in front of sellout crowd, on national television. |
16 | San Jose | Getting blown out at home is not the way to convince fans to show up - that’s why the 2005 team moved to Houston… St. Louis calling??? |
the goats will bounce back and take the league.
