MLS Power Poll: How far did Atlanta United drop?

1. LAFC (19-4-5) 

Last week: 1. 

Defeated by Minnesota 2-0. 

No Carlos Vela and this team looked very average.

Last week: 3. 

Defeated Atlanta United 3-1.

Last week: 4. 

Won at Vancouver 3-1. 

-

4. Atlanta United (15-10-3) 

Last week: 2. 

Lost at Philadelphia, 3-1. 

I wouldn’t worry too much about the loss to the Union. This team was gassed after 8 games since Aug. 3, including two with trophies on the line.

-

5. Minnesota (13-9-6) 

Last week: 7.

Though the Loons lost the U.S. Open Cup, its win at LAFC was a huge statement.

15. Toronto (10-10-8)

18. Orlando (9-13-7)

They are now done in the East. The supporters deserve better.

Sell Mauro Manotas already.

-

23. Vancouver (6-15-9) 

Last week: 23. 

Defeated at Montreal 2-1 and defeated by NYCFC 3-1. 

At the beginning of the season, some were saying that this team was a darkhorse in the East. I think that horse was actually a bum steer.

-

24. Cincinnati (5-20-3) 

Last week: 24. 

Lost at Dallas 3-1. 

The first to 20!
