Goal.com MLS Rankings: Crew On Top

With week two in the books, Goal.com's Kyle McCarthy presents us with his new rankings.

1. Columbus – Comfortable leaving the champs here considering the quality of their performances over the first two weeks of the season. (1)
2. Chivas USA – Second-best for most of the game in Frisco, but the Goats always seem to find a way to grind out a result. (8)
3. Seattle – This Fredy might actually be a superstar. Let's see if he can take his act on the road. (7)
4. New England – Four points in two road games to start the season. I'd say the Revs will take it. (6)
5. Toronto FC – Two words to describe that point in Columbus: highway robbery. (2)
6. Chicago – Will Cuauhtemoc Blanco adjust to a super-sub role? (3)
7. Real Salt Lake – Decent performance in Seattle yielded zero points. It won't get any easier with Columbus heading to town on Thursday night. (5)
8. Colorado – Terry Cooke is a nice option to have on the bench. (11)
9. San Jose – Three goals? In one game? More of the same, please. (12)
10. D.C. United – Performances may not be matching the number of points garnered. (9)
11. Houston – Good: Chris Wondolowski. Bad: Conceding three goals to San Jose. (4)
12. Kansas City – The Wizards better hope Davy Arnaud recovers from that neck strain sooner rather than later. (10)
13. Los Angeles – Not even the Galaxy can drop points when they don't play. (13)
14. New York – Reserve judgment until all of the internationals are in the fold. Until then, it's time to scrape points for the Red Bulls. (14)
15. FC Dallas – Inopportune defense breakdowns hamper a pretty potent offensive side. (15)
