MLS Power Rankings Week 3

Ranking	Team	Change	Result	Notes
1	Los Angeles Galaxy	+1	W 0:2 @ HOU	Maximum points from three games - Buddle has five goals. Another good test next week when the defending champions visit the Home Depot Center.
2	Columbus Crew	-1	T 2:2 @ DAL	Crew must feel like they let one slip away in Dallas - Schelloto scores again - 5 in a row. may be relieved with another bye week to let five injured defenders heal.
3	New England Revolution	+5	W 4:1 v TOR	Scored 4 goals in opening 21 minutes of second half - 13-minute hat trick by rookie, Schilawski. Good opportunity to get points on the road against Earthquakes.
4	Real Salt Lake	-1	T 2:2 v SEA	Defending champs have shown some weakness in defense - showed resilience by coming back to even score… twice. RSL will be tested when they visit undefeated Galaxy.
5	Seattle Sounders	+1	T 2:2 @ RSL	Two goals from three shots on goal - Sigi has to worry about the lack of production by Montero. Sounders can't sleep against undefeated KC.
6	Red Bull New York	-1	L 2:0 @ CHV	Gave up two terrible goals on the road - guess those NY-centric folks at ESPN were a bit hasty with the number one ranking. Red Bulls now have one win in the last 29 road games.
7	Kansas City Wizards	-	W 1:0 v COL	Two wins in first two games - both at home. They will move up dramatically with a win away from the baseball stadium.
8	Houston Dynamo	-4	L 0:2 v LAG	Without Ching, Houston planned to get goals from Landin, however a childish foul lead to a 1st Half sending off - came close only once in match.
9	Colorado Rapids	+3	L 1:0 @ KC	First loss of season at the hands of KC - beat the Wizards three days later in Open Cup. Dallas must be looking for three points against visiting TFC.
10	Chicago Fire	-1	L 1:2 v SJ	Losing at home to strugglers is no way to open at home - should have had two goals in first twenty minutes. McBride must get on track and DC is the perfect place to do it.
11	Dallas	-	T 2:2 v CMB	Two points from two games at home - lucky to get a 93rd minute strike to save the draw. Dallas will look to be the first to get points visiting at Red Bull Arena.
12	Chivas USA	+1	W 2:0 v RBNY	Should be happy to knock of streaking NY - Padilla was ever-present, where was Sacha? The Goats will have to play better if they want to get points on their visit to the Dynamos.
13	San Jose Earthquakes	+3	W 1:2 @ CHI	Rookie Opara with a game winner on the road - showed spunk to retake lead after Fire goal. Can they slow down the Revs' rookie to get points at home next week?
14	Philidelphia Union	+1	W 3:2 v DC	Le Toux's hat trick showed the expansion club's offensive possibilities - showed heart by taking full points after allowing 2:0 lead to slip away. Can expect points from TOR roadtrip.
15	Toronto	-5	L 4:1 @ NE	Won the first half - defensive weaknesses allowed four goals in second. May not allow flanking runs and easy crosses if they want to get their first points of season against Union.
16	DC United	-2	L 3:2 @ PHL	Moreno's bush league goal was not enough to get first points for United. The dynasty has officially crumbled completely to bottom of league. Enigmatic Fire come visiting next.
