MLS Power Rankings: Week 25

Power Rankings: Darren Mattocks

What's happened in Vancouver? Suddenly the Whitecaps could be in some real trouble if they don't right the ship quickly, and it shows in this week's rankings. The LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, both made a jump after big wins.

<p>Kei giveth, Kei taketh away. The fact is that Sporting are a very one-dimensional team right now, and are about to become moreso with Teal Bunbury on the shelf for the rest of the season.
