2 Last: 2 That "Last Five" is pretty as a picture, and the attack is purring like a finely tuned racecar. Every time they play, they are must-see TV. Last Week: Won vs. D.C. United, 2-1

3 Last: 3 A truly bizarre Cascadia Cup game ended with a truly bizarre penalty call. The Sounders will obviously be happy to take the road point. Last Week: Drew at Vancouver, 2-2

W-W-L-W-D This Week: Saturday vs. Real Salt Lake (4 pm, MLS LIVE)

4 Last: 5 That was a missed opportunity. The 'Caps are still a work in progress, so it's understandable. But getting three points vs. Seattle would have been a real statement. Last Week: Drew vs. Seattle, 2-2

D-D-W-W-D This Week: Sunday at Portland (9 pm, MLS LIVE)

6 Last: 7 We're actually more impressed by the New England result than the Houston one. They have a lot of answers defensively, and are getting better in attack every week. Last Week: Won vs. Houston, 2-0

W-D-L-L-W This Week: Sunday vs. Houston (8 pm, Univ. Dep.)

11 Last: 11 After going a month-and-a-half without scoring multiple goals, the Crew have now done it back-to-back. In the process, they broke an eight-game winless skid. Last Week: Won vs. Chicago, 2-0

L-L-L-D-W This Week: Saturday at Toronto (5 pm, MLS LIVE)

12 Last: 10 Speaking of winless skids … it's now seven for FC Dallas. They've taken just two of the last 21 points available. If they lose to San Jose this weekend, feel free to panic. Last Week: Lost at LA, 2-1

13 Last: 8 Losing Mark Sherrod for the season was a gut punch, as he'd been so good at creating space for the rest of the attack. Miserable week for the Dynamo. Last Week: Lost at D.C. United, 2-0

14 Last: 16 Seem to have hit upon something with the Pierazzi/Stephenson central midfield combo. They make the Quakes more dynamic where it counts. Last Week: Won vs. Houston, 3-0

L-D-W-L-W This Week: Saturday at Dallas (8:30 pm, MLS LIVE)

15 Last: 17 Is this the real Maximiliano Urruti? He's got four goals in his last four games and seems to have responded to his early-season benching. Last Week: Won at New York, 2-1

D-W-D-D-W This Week: Wednesday at Chivas USA (10:30 pm, MLS LIVE)

Sunday vs. Vancouver (9 pm, MLS LIVE)

16 Last: 14 There are no "must-win" games this early in the season, but Wednesday's feels huge. It comes against a conference rival, and it could lift Chivas off the bottom of the standings. Last Week: Bye

Saturday vs. Philadelphia (10:30 pm, MLS LIVE)

17 Last: 14 The Fire don't seem any closer to solving their defensive issues. Just their third loss of the season, but it really feels like they're always going to have to outscore teams. Last Week: Lost at Columbus, 2-0

18 Last: 17 They've now conceded nine goals in their last two games. At least they have a week of R&R in Los Angeles to think about how to get it right.
