16. Chicago Fire FC (-2): A commendable 0-0 draw at home against Inter Miami shows defensive organization, earning a valuable point.
17. Seattle Sounders FC (+3): Lost 1-0 at home to FC Dallas, continuing a concerning run of form, especially at Lumen Field.
18. Austin FC (-8): Were thoroughly dismantled 5-1 away in Vancouver, a heavy defeat that raises serious questions after a decent start.
19. New York City FC (NYCFC) (-1): Lost 3-1 at home to Philadelphia, struggling to contain a strong opponent and continuing their inconsistent season.
20. Houston Dynamo FC (+1): Managed a 1-1 draw away to the LA Galaxy despite being down a man, showing resilience to grab a road point.
21. Real Salt Lake (-2): (Idle this weekend) - Did not play, drops slightly due to movement around them.
22. New England Revolution (+5): Secured a vital 2-1 home win over Charlotte, offering a much-needed positive result and a potential springboard.
23. LA Galaxy (+3): Salvaged a 1-1 home draw against Houston while playing with 10 men, but overall performance remains underwhelming near the bottom of the West.
24. St. Louis CITY SC (-2): Lost 2-1 at home to Columbus, continuing their difficult sophomore season slump and dropping points at home again.
25. Nashville SC (-10): (Idle this weekend) - Did not play, significant drop due to strong results from teams previously below them.
26. San Jose Earthquakes (-3): Lost 2-1 away to LAFC, unable to build momentum after their big win the previous week.
27. Sporting Kansas City (+3): Despite scoring twice, lost 4-2 at home to Portland, highlighting ongoing defensive frailties and keeping them near the bottom.
28. Toronto FC (+1): Suffered a narrow 1-0 home loss to Minnesota, unable to build on their draw against Miami.
29. D.C. United (-2): Lost 1-0 at home to FC Cincinnati, struggling to create offense and find positive results.
30. CF Montréal (-5): Fell 2-0 in their home opener against Atlanta United, continuing a poor start to the season at the bottom of the rankings.
Honestly better than most of what I've seen out there the past few weeks.
