Power Shots

1. NE Revolution- Let's hope last week was an aberration or the best team in this league is really
not that good.

2. Toronto FC- This team is doing what you must to be successful... Never losing at BMO and
taking the occasional point on the road. Plus I don't think this midfield has truly
got rolling yet.

3. Columbus Crew- This is a toss-up with the Galaxy and last weeks game proved that. Each
team controlled the match for 45 min. In the end the Crew showed more
bite by coming back twice to get a share of the points.

4. LA Galaxy- The offense is rolling, but this team still has no identity and if they do not find it in
the next two games it could be back to .500 for the "Total footballers except when
you can hit it over the top to Landon" Galaxy

5. DC United- They are proof that all you need to do to be successful in this league is threaten
to fire the coach and replace him with Bruce Arena. Oh and also call out your best
player from last year and most recent DP for not playing well.

6. Chicago Fire- Is it just me or has this team started their descent the same time the Brian McBride rumors surfaced... Strikers are already temperamental enough don't threaten
their jobs too. Okay Barrett couldn't score on a singles cruise.(If you don't know
what I mean and are single, just go on one... you will have a good time)

7.Real Salt Lake- Wait that must be a typo. Oh never mind the typo they really are at .500 and
have gone 3-0-2 in their last five. Oh and their new stadium is looking really
nice, but if I find out that American Idol 2nd place guy David Archuletta is
sing at the opening game they will drop below the Quake on principle alone.

8. Chivas USA- Nice win over Chicago and once this team is fully fit I expect a true return to
form with or with out Guzano, And especially if they add "Bofo" as all the
rumors are saying will happen.

9. NY Red Bulls- How they are still above .500 is any one's guess. JP Angel's injury issue and
Reyna being Reyna it is a testament to Osorio. We will see how long they last
minus Jozy now too.

10. Houston Dynamo- As DeRossario and Ching go so goes the Dynamo. The rest is just smoke
and mirrors.Who would have thought that scrubs like Ngwena and Jaqua
would really matter.

11. FC Dallas- Hyndmann was a great hire and it will take time to turn this team around, But I
wouldn't count them out just yet maybe in a couple weeks we will have more of
an idea if it will be this year or next.

12.Colorado Rapids- If this team doesn't learn to play through Christian Gomez soon they will be
out of the play-off race by early August. Still Ugo Ihemalu is a stud on the
back line.

13. KC Wizards- They are the proverbial close but no results. Three ties but no wins in the last
month. Hartman may make one good save a game but all-in-all he SUCKS!!!!!
And has for a few years now.

14. SJ Earthquakes- The only good news for the Quakes is that next year there will be another
expansion team in the league for then to beat up on.
