MLS Power Rankings Week One

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???
