The MLS regular season has come to a dramatic close. The North American grind has humbled some soccer gods while helping other stars to shine brighter. Here are the season-end Power Rankings.

Many MLS fans are waking up knowing that their team will not be lifting a cup at the end of the MLS season. For some, the dream ended in heartbreak; for others, this has been a long road of suffering. These power rankings are based on how bad or good a team should feel relative to their season outlook. While some MLS squads went stumbling like a careless victim running from Micheal Myers, others are still sitting on the Leprechauns’ pot of gold.

Is your team dead by a thousand cuts, still bleeding out, or a cold case of rigor-mortis with the season-long dead? Some still have a chance to survive, while a couple teams fancy themselves the reaper of all, the carrier of the sharpest knife.

Where does your team stand in the last edition of the MLS Multiplex Regular Season Power Rankings?

Cold Case Corpses

23 San Jose EarthQuakes 4-21-9 Last week: 1-2 Loss @ Seattle Sounders

Last rank: 23 Matias Almeyda has given fans reason to look forward to the offseason. Really it shouldn’t take much for fans to want to look anywhere else after this past year’s results. Wondolowski did not get the goal record, though he may come back next year. But the Quakes need to move past the old guard. Would the old striker do like Dempsey or Donovan and just walk away midseason? Would the Quakes faithful appreciate the effort? Or would having another season start based around glorifying the past be detrimental to the needed youth movement? The Quakes have plenty of potential, but young and old both have no ideas once in the final third. Wondolowski as a poacher leaves the rest of the team exposed all too often.

22 Orlando City SC 8-22-4 Last week: 0-1 Loss @ New York Red Bulls

Last rank: 22 Orlando City’s last and season-ending loss was the most joyful loss all season. Too bad the scoreboard was not indicative of the gulf in class in the teams. The Red Bulls tamed the Lions 1-0, but the season stats tell the tale. OCSC finished with 28 points and 74 goals allowed. NYRB had 71 points and only 33 goals allowed. But hey, Atlanta didn’t win a trophy and Orlando City helped to make that possible by obliging the Red Bulls the full points. Spector and Tarek should survive any mass roster purges, as should Kljestan and Dwyer, just based on reputation and salary demands. Everyone else should expect a offseason of uncertainty judging by James O’Connor’s Orlando City’s last and season-ending loss was the most joyful loss all season.

Everyone else should expect a offseason of uncertainty judging by James O’Connor’s statements recently.

21 Chicago Fire 8-18-8 Last week: 0-0 vs DC United

Last rank: 21 Fans are begging for the new investor into the Fire to rejuvenate the roster and fanbase. Or they are waiting for Andrew Hauptman to be completely out of the picture before returning to the stadium. Or they are eyeing the USL team being touted by Ricketts. Point is, until the Fire front office makes a decision to move forward in any capacity, this team is stuck mired at the back end of the MLS hierarchy. Nelson Rodriguez and Veljko Paunovic have had plenty of time to build a roster worthy of supporting Schweinsteiger, Katai, and Nikolic. However, it appears the same leadership will direct the team this offseason. That does not bode well with such a disjointed roster and the worst keeper situation in the league.

20 Minnesota United 11-20-3 Last week: 2-3 Loss @ Columbus Crew

Last rank: 20 Adrian Heath can take all the blame he wants for the Loons defensive troubles, it will not help un-bag the 71 goals Minnesota United let in this season. Minnesota has built most of its stadium and most of its roster. It’s just the finishing touches that the Loons are lacking. Darwin Quintero needs help with supply lines, just as the defense needs help from the midfield. The Loons needs are easy to address. They need a quality conduit and a destroyer in midfield. Sam Cronin’s concussion history this season is worrisome beyond just roster construction. Rodriguez and Calvo were more miss than hit this season, which cannot be the case with offseason signings. Minnesota will have to chop some heads if next season in Allianz Arena is like the last two sputtering campaigns.
