Weekly Top Tens and Power Rankings - 4/6/15

THE SOCCERSMITH'S MLS POWER RANKINGS

1 - Vancouver Whitecaps (4-1-0) - Impressive win against LA gives them four in a row and Rivero's 4 goals lead the league. Last Week: 2
2 - FC Dallas (3-1-1) - The streak is over, but Dallas is still pretty darn good. Last Week: 1
3 - New York Red Bulls (2-0-1) - If they'd played this week, I'd have considered moving them ahead of Dallas, but hard to move someone up during a bye week. Last Week: 3
4- Seattle Sounders (2-1-1) - Seattle's only been scored on in one game so far this season. Meanwhile, Obafemi Martins has scored in all three matches he's played. Last Week: 6
5 - DC United (3-1-0) - Three 1-0 wins. Is this a playoff team without Bill Hamid? Last Week: 8
6 - Real Salt Lake (2-0-2) - One of just two unbeatens, Real Salt Lake always seems to find a way to be competetive. Last Week: 7
7 - LA Galaxy (1-2-2) - Winless in four, and their only win this year came against Chicago when the Fire were still playing badly. Last Week: 4
8 - Toronto FC (1-3-0) - Time to panic in Toronto? No. There are still 30 games left. Last Week: 5
9 - Portland Timbers (1-1-3) - Got to give them props for dealing Dallas their first loss. Just think where these guys will be when everyone's healthy. Last Week: 12
10 - Sporting Kansas City (2-1-2) - It was ugly, but they stole a win at home from Philadelphia, Dom Dwyer snapped his scoreless streak and Hungarian striker Krisztián Németh showed what a difference he can be when healthy. Last Week: 10

Out: Columbus (9-->11)
