Although the Power Rankings can be meaningless, I guess it's a way to keep track of how good the teams in the CCL are performing. At least it is for me. So, lets go:

It's been an insane–even outrageously bizarre array of matches to open up the first two games of the CONCACAF Champions League. From the...
I figured, why not? Lets have a couple of power rankings for the 2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League.

Earlier this week, I told the two of you about how Graham Rockwood and Stephen Goodrick would be engaging in political arguments about how the nation should be reformed for the better. They've only wall posted each other on Facebook. They've yet to truly debate.
Let's be real: The answer to everything is three words: high speed rail. Oh, and 42. Not to mention soccer and grungy music. How could I forget?

| Chad Marshall of Columbus Crew holding off Guillermo Ramírez on CSD Municipal. Columbus would go on to defeat Municipal 1-0 thanks to a 14th minute goal from Emmanuel Ekpo. |
Sure each victory might have been by one lone goal, but watching the games, you could see the dominance and class that both Columbus and RSL exhibited over Municipal and Arabe Unido, respectively. It can partially be noticed through the highlight reels for each game. (See at bottom).
Observing both games live on TV last night, they each established a solid passing game that only their opponents couldn't seem to combat against, unless it was a myriad of shameless fouls and tackles. And yet in spite of this, they couldn't emerge victorious.

Word has been buzzing around about the latest round of political corruption debate. By word buzzing around, that means a trickle of Facebook status updates to be more earnest.
Before we get into the main topics that the two are going to debate over the course of the 2010-11 FCPS school year, lets get an impression of each person.

| The additions of Najar and Hamid have been extremely beneficial for the ailing D.C. United, will Shanosky be next? |
By now, there's practically nothing to smile about regarding the D.C. United's horrendous year. Sure there's a handful of meaningless friendlies they won, as well as a couple of U.S. Open Cup matches that they were expected to win.
Apart from those exceptions, the only bright spots have come from the United's youth players, primarily the Academy Players. These include the likes of Andy Najar and Bill Hamid, the first two academy players that signed contracts with the club.

D.C. United have signed their third Academy player this season, 18-year-old Conor Shanosky.
With Group B play of the CONCACAF Champions League on the horizon, it looks like it'll be a brisk competition for the Group title for Santos or Columbus...unless of course Municipal or Joe Public can pull off a few upsets.
Columbus Crew
Current Record: (11-5-4), 3rd place in MLS.
How they got here: 2009 MLS Supporter's Shield.
Key Player: Guillermo Barros Schelotto
The Crew have a lot of hope to go far in this upcoming Champions League campaign. Exiting in the quarterfinals subsequent to a 5-4 aggregate loss against Toluca, Columbus was the last hope for any MLS club to seek Champions League glory.
A gritty team that has a solid passing game, the Crew are a potent force to win the group and possibly make a run deep into the knockout stages. But to do so they're going to need to perform well on the road and have solid performances from Barros Schelotto, Lenhart, Marshall and Hejduk.
Prediction: 2nd. I had a bad feeling about Santos at first given their 3-2 home loss to D.C. United a few months back, but they'll have an advantage over Columbus. The Crew will be worn out from U.S. Open Cup, late season play-off push and the MLS Cup Playoffs around the corner. It'll get messy with their schedule. Still, they should be able to comfortably margin in second.

A "parity league", "Minor League Soccer", or even a "footballing joke" are just a handful of the names that the international community, as well as the handful of hardcore American soccer fans label Major League Soccer.
For the past two or three years, Major League Soccer has tried every maneuver known to mankind, in an attempt to gain global recognition and be recognized as a noteworthy league. MLS has done this by straining its modest budget through importing aging stars. All in part to really bring attention to the globe that MLS is a serious league. The most notable addition is evidentially, Theirry Henry signing with New York Red Bulls last month. While it may look nice on paper for an MLS club to herald the arrival of a superstar, that specific club is going to need prove on the pitch that they're a top-class soccer club.
If the league, as well as its clubs, want to gain respect in the international world, they are going to need to excel, emphasize and take seriously in the CONCACAF Champions League, North America's top club competition.

The United States made their lackluster 2-0 defeat against Brazil quintessential for the times. My expectations were slightly higher, because Brazil was using primarily a "C"-squad, if you may, while the US fielded a mix of "A" and "B"-squad members. Though, when you put on a shirt, you're representing your nation at the highest level.
Brazil fielded practically new players that had never had a cap before, and a literally four or five World Cup veterans from South Africa. The US, on the other hand only gave one person their first full international cap, while fielding slightly over a dozen veterans from the World Cup.

We all have had the experience. Each of us throughout our time at Robinson made a new friend, became really close with them, separated and parted way. Some were friendly...others were a slow devouring of joy, that'd we love to forget as soon as we possibly could.
Coincidence that it happens more often than not during the summer. Well, actually, it could be. Fact of the matter is, is it's not too much. People travel, people work, people busy. Simple.

Sadly, as we all wish did not happen...it did. Parity finally managed to creep through the likes of the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Columbus Crew. Has not hit Real Salt Lake though, perhaps D.C. United though is just that bad that RSL can completely dominate them. By the way, I'm sick of MLSSoccer.com describing the United as "hapless". Find a different word. You've used it at least a dozen times. Yes, it is unfortunate for them, but find creativity. And on to the power rankings we go, where nearly 7 teams have identical records. Only man could be happy about this...Don Garber.
1. REAL SALT LAKE (10-4-4)
Last Week: 2
Result: W 3-0 vs. D.C. United
If Robbie Findley was able to shoot on frame, and not by a bizarre luck of the crossbar, RSL would have easily walked away from Rio Tinto with a repeat blowout, like they did against New England a few weeks back.
