MLs week 8

Down week last week 2-3-2, lost both of the ties I predicted.

Early start this week, with two games tonight:
DC over KC, even without Benny
RSL over LA, even without the trio, RSL should win this at home

Friday night
NY over San Jose, NY is bad, but San jose on the road, nope.

Saturday
Columbus over KC on FSC
DC united with the big six point week over Toronto
Chicago over NE
Houston over Dallas on ESPN 2
Chivas over RSL

Sunday
Seattle over LA

Could be big weeks for DC, KC, LA or RSL. Vasco thinks big week for DC, real bad week for LA and KC.

Enjoy the games.

MLS Power Rankings

Vasco wanted to do Power rankings this year, but didn't want to start at the beginning of the season, week seven is in the books now, and Vasco is debuting his MLS Power Rankings.
Vasco is thinking though that this will not be a weekly event.

# 1 Chivas is the class of the league so far, 6-1-1
# 2 Seattle is the biggest surprise so far, 4-2-1
Do they know they are an expansion team
#3 DC United is back from the brink 3-1-3
#4 Chicago is still undefeated at 2-0-5
#5 Toronto is still up and down at 3-2-3
#6 Colorado is surprising some at 3-2-2
#7 Real Salt Lake is great at home 3-3-0
#8 Kansas City is a good home team 3-3-1
#9 Houston is a slow starter at 2-2-2
#10 New England injuries have hurt 2-2-2
#11 Columbus was 08 a fluke 0-2-5
#12 Los angles this team is awful 1-1-4
#13 San Jose is weak 1-4-2
#14 New York is just plain awful 1-5-2
#15 Dallas this team just plain sucks 1-5-1

Think what you want, I know they are different than some others, who are doing them. This is Vasco's thoughts and we shall see. 52 games in the books so far this year, 17 ties so far, a rounded 33%, that really needs to improve. To many teams playing for a tie, look at the WPS the women don't play for ties they play hard till the final whistle.
