The Los Angeles Galaxy have fallen five spots down to No. 17 in the Week 11 MLS Power Rankings. The ranking is the lowest for our side in the history of the MLS Soccer.com Power Rankings. L.A.'s spot is also reflective of where they are in the MLS table overall, third from the bottom. I completely agree with putting the Galaxy this low. Despite a wealth of talent, they haven't played like a team and have suffered accordingly. With the loss in the SuperClasico, the Galaxy have not won in a month.
Here's the complete MLS Power Rankings for Week Eleven:
#1 Real Salt Lake, no change
#2 New York Red Bulls, up from #4
#3 San Jose Earthquakes, down from #2
#4 D.C United, up from #6
#5 Seattle Sounders, down from #3
#6 Vancouver Whitecaps, up from #8
#7 Sporting Kansas City, down from #5
#8 Houston Dynamo, down from #7
#9 Chicago Fire, no change
#10 Colorado Rapids, no change
#11 New England Revolution, up from #13
#12 Montreal Impact, down from #11
#13 Chivas USA, up from #15
#14 Columbus Crew, up from #16
#15 FC Dallas, down from #14
#16 Portland Timbers, up from #17
#17 Los Angeles Galaxy, down from #12
#18 Philadelphia Union, no change
#19 Toronto FC, no change
Real Salt Lake remained on top despite not playing last week. The New York Red Bulls rose two spots to No. 2 after yet another win. The Earthquakes fell one spot to No. 3 after a draw against the Crew. D.C. United moved up to No. 4 with a pair of wins last week. A draw by the Sounders against the Whitecaps dropped Seattle down to No. 5. San Jose is our side's opponent on Wednesday in the California Clasico and the Earthquakes are winless in their last three outings. They won't have MLS' leading scorer in Chris Wondolowski but the Galaxy, which are winless in their last five matches, won't have Robbie Keane or Landon Donovan. Will the missing stars mean the Galaxy will test a new low in the rankings next week?
