I actually had an error involving Toronto and New York last week, and in correcting it Toronto moved up slightly and New York went down slightly. Seattle returns to the frontrunners catagory after a big win against Houston. Chivas is falling fast, they have now lost 3 straight, 4 of their last 5, and only have 1 win in the last 7 games.

Answer 1

Dynamo still #1 after like 6 weeks. It's all good. As long as Dynamo is #1, you shouldn't hear me whining much about this.

Answer 2

Chivas is in a rut of bad luck, they will bounce back, they cant get anything going theve lost some players. Chivas will return to greatness. .At least they are not the bottom 3 they seem to be stuck in the bottom 3 the whole year.

Answer 3

Chivas has gotten their **** together now and they are hungry for wins again, except this saturday when they play LA... it would be so cool if they both make it to the playoff, which actually looks like a big possibility.... LA GALAXY!!!

Answer 4

They lost Kljestan and Bornstein for several games, and Kljestan's come back looking AWFUL.



Bornstein is in many ways the heart of the team.



Besides that, the breaks are starting to go against them, whereas in the early going the breaks were all for them.

Answer 5

i agree that the call ups have hurt chivas. all these mid season call ups really confuse things.

Answer 6

colorado will be number 1 soon.

Answer 7
