MLS - Week 5
Here's a roundup of week five of the MLS season.
As things sit right now, I agree with ESPN's "Power Rankings." The Revs, Galaxy, and FC Dallas top the league, by a substantial margin. Chivas USA brings up the rear, also by a substantial margin. The teams in between aren't separated by much, from my vantage point. I expect each to have their ups and downs throughout the season, with DC United, Columbus, and KC showing the most potential to do damage in the playoffs.
Plaudits are especially reserved this week for Clint Dempsey of the Revolution, who continues his marvellous form and scoring run; Amado Guevara for his hattrick against the Rapids (take that, Ives!); and the Galaxy, which beat down the insurgent FC Dallas with a strong, measured performance at the HDC.
