1 Last: 1 Chad Marshall looked like the 2008-10 version this past weekend. The defense still needs work in Seattle, but when he's playing this well, he cancels out a lot of mistakes. Last Week: Won vs. Philadelphia, 2-1

D-W-W-W-W This Week: Wednesday vs. Dallas (10 pm, MLS LIVE)

Sunday at New England (6 pm, MLS LIVE)

2 Last: 2 Chicago left the door open an inch, so RSL kicked it in. Didn't play great until the last 20 minutes, but that was enough. Last Week: Won at Chicago, 3-2

D-D-W-D-W This Week: Sunday at Houston (7 pm, MLS LIVE)

3 Last: 4 Struggled at times with the Crew's movement with and without the ball, and the finishing still has to get better. But can you argue with a 2-0 win? Last Week: Won vs. Columbus, 2-0

5 Last: 10 They usually make a run in May, so this nice four-game unbeaten streak has arrived a bit early. Last Week : Won at Dallas, 1-0

L-W-W-D-W This Week: Saturday vs. Chicago (7 pm, MLS LIVE)

6 Last: 3 Even more worrying than the two straight losses, and three in four, is the mysterious status of Mauro Díaz. If he's out for the long haul, this team is in trouble. Last Week: Lost to New York, 1-0

W-L-W-L-L This Week: Wednesday at Seattle (10 pm, MLS LIVE); Saturday at San Jose (10:30 pm ET, MLS LIVE)

7 Last: 8 So, so good on that home turf. They are unbeatable when they get teams unabalanced and can use the lanes to run at them. Got to wonder a bit about their forward depth now, however. Last Week: Won vs. San Jose, 3-2

8 Last: 9 Very rugged bounce-back performance for the Rapids. Of course they're still not the same team without Dillon Powers' range of passing. Need to get him back to take advantage of all their weapons. Last Week: Won vs. LA, 1-0

9 Last: 5 Robbie Keane has earned a lot of equity over the years, but it's probably time to let someone else take penalties. Last Week: Lost at Colorado, 1-0

10 Last: 6 The Power Rankings Politburo sitll loves us some CrewBall, but this team is sinking for lack of a finisher. Last Week: Lost at Kansas City, 2-0

12 Last: 7 We forgave them a few bad performances earlier in the year, but they were pretty short of answers even with a full squad. Gilberto's lack of production is starting to become a worry. Last Week: Lost to New England, 2-1

13 Last: 12 Tough loss – they probably deserved a point. But if you can't shut the door on late set pieces, you're going to suffer. Last Week: Lost at Portland, 3-2

15 Last: 13 Crisis time in Philadelphia. Got to think about going to a two-forward set soon, because this team needs at least one true finisher out there. Last Week: Lost at Seattle, 2-1

D-L-D-L-L This Week: Saturday vs. D.C. (4 pm, MLS LIVE)

16 Last: 15 The Fire were the better team for most of that game. And that should be zero consolation after such an emphatic meltdown. Last Week: Lost to Real Salt Lake, 3-2

17 Last: 16 This feels like it needs to be a six-point week for the Quakes, who have zero rhythm thus far in 2014. Last Week: Lost at Vancouver, 3-2

18 Last: 18 Hope they took the bye week to work on preventing opposing forwards from finding the gap between the central defenders.
