Weekly Top Tens and Power Rankings

THE SOCCERSMITH'S MLS POWER RANKINGS

1 - Sporting Kansas City (8-3-6) - Tim Melia has six shutouts in nine starts, and while Jurgen Klinsmann might not like Benny Feilhaber, we sure do. Last Week: 1
2 - LA Galaxy (8-6-7) - Steven Gerrard has arrived and the Galaxy are over .500. Watch out, MLS. Last Week: 3
3 - DC United (10-6-5) - Bill Hamid is going to be out 4-6 weeks. Can DC United survive without him? Last Week: 5
4 - FC Dallas (9-5-5) - Dan Kennedy hasn't been scored on in three straight matches, all of them FC Dallas wins. Last Week: 8
5 - Seattle Sounders (10-8-2) - Seattle's offense is really struggling without their big two, but at least their young kids are getting some early exposure. Last Week: 4
6 - Portland Timbers (9-7-4) - Not the performance we expected from a red hot Timbers team, but everyone's allowed a slip-up once in a while. Last Week: 2
7 - New York Red Bulls (7-6-5) - There's the Bradley Wright-Phillips we got used to watching last year. Not a bad time for him to hit his stride. Last Week: 10
8 - Toronto FC (7-7-3) - Sebastian Giovinco is amazing. That's all you need to know. Last Week: 12
9 - Vancouver Whitecaps (10-8-2) - In back-to-back losses, we've seen how much Vancouver could use Pedro Morales.  Last Week: 6
10 - Houston Dynamo (6-7-6) - Nice to see Will Bruin finally get back in the scoring column. With Giles Barnes out for the Gold Cup, he's going to need to continue to step up. Last Week: 13
11 - Orlando City SC (6-7-6) - Goals were hard to come by with Cyle Larin and Kaká both out. It'd be really nice if Bryan Róchez were available, but apparently that's not an option. Last Week: 7
12 - Columbus Crew (6-7-6) - Not a good showing against Montreal at all, and they really have no excuse. Last Week: 9
13 - New York City SC (5-8-6) - David Villa has three braces in his last four matches, but what's up with City's defense? Last Week: 14
14 - Montreal Impact (6-7-3) - If you haven't seen Marco Donadel's first MLS goal yet, you need to. Last Week: 16
15 - Philadelphia Union (6-10-4) - Philly is over .500 since installing Brian Sylvestre in net. Remember that Raïs M'Bolhi guy? Last Week: 17
16 - San Jose Earthquakes (7-7-4) - No Wondo = no goals. Sorry, San Jose. Last Week: 11
17 - Real Salt Lake (5-7-8) - Sebastián Jaime has been as good as any striker in MLS lately, but he picked a bad time to pick up a red card as RSL lost valuable points against Colorado. Last Week: 15
18 - Chicago Fire (5-9-3) - Dramatic win against Seattle, but can they build on it? Last Week: 19
19 - Colorado Rapids (4-6-9) - Showed a lot of moxie in scoring three times after the 80th minute versus RSL, but they still have the lowest win total in MLS. Last Week: 20
20 - New England Revolution (6-9-6) - How is a team with this many big name players this bad? Last Week: 18
