Ranking this week’s MLS games from best to worst.
Week 6
LAFC (2-1-0) at Atlanta United (3-1-0), 5 p.m. Saturday: There may not be a more exciting group of attacking talent on the field at the same time this season as what you will see on Saturday with Josef Martinez, Miguel Almiron, Hector Villalba and Darlington Nagbe against Carlos Vela, Diego Rossi, Latif Blessing and Marco Urena.
Sporting KC (3-1-1) at L.A. Galaxy (2-1-1), 9 p.m. Sunday: Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan. Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan. Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan. Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan.
Portland (0-2-2) at Orlando City (1-2-1), 4 p.m. Sunday: This game shouldn't be this high up the list, but Orlando City's 4-3 win against a C-level New York Red Bulls team was less than impressive. Beating the Timbers wouldn't be that great, but losing to them would.
Columbus (3-1-1) at Chicago (0-2-1), 8:30 p.m. Saturday: The Crew suffered their first loss last week but should get back on the winning track against a Fire team that is struggling.
Colorado (1-1-1) at Dallas (1-0-2), 8 p.m. Saturday: Dallas seemed to have things fixed, but are slowly starting to resemble last year's rudderless side. A win here would be a step in the right direction.
Vancouver (3-1-1) at Real Salt Lake (1-2-1), 9:30 p.m. Saturday: The Whitecaps, the leaders of the West, could put a marker down with a win at Rio Tinto.
San Jose (1-2-0) at Philadelphia (1-1-1), 7 p.m. Saturday:
Montreal (2-2-0) at New England (2-1-1), 7:30 p.m. Friday:
