i wanted to do this one more time before kickoff today. Frontrunners: 1. Los Angeles Galaxy 2. New York Red Bulls Contenders: 3. Colorado Rapids 4. FC Dallas 5. Real Salt Lake 6. Seattle Sounders Midlevel: 7. Sporting Kansas City 8. Houston Dynamo 9. San Jose Earthquakes 10. New England Revolution Dark Horse for Play-offs: 11. Philadelphia Union 12. Columbus Crew 13. DC United 14. Chivas USA 15. Chicago Fire Will Struggle: 16. Portland Timbers 17. Vancouver Whitecaps 18. Toronto FC the west will dominate this season, but i don't believe RSL is as good as people are making out to be. just looking at the roster, the Galaxy is the team to beat in my eyes. it seems like everything is finally falling into place with them (they got Becks back and focused, got Angel signed and ready to go with, Donovan is the best player in the league, a good coach, and a solid core of players front to back)
RSL is the real deal and hands down the best team in the league. The Galaxy are full of old guys past their prime and just waiting to get hurt. And Landy Cakes is not the best player in the league, that honor goes to Javier Morales. The rest of your team ranks are more or less a reasonable prediction.
