Week 32 fell in the middle of an international break for Major League Soccer, one that fans of the USMNT will want to soon forget. Still, there were three matches that went on in league play, two involving the Montreal Impact. With some teams holding games in hand, it sets the stage for this week’s full slate of matches. With 12 matches on the schedule, teams are now in final exam mode. Each play may mean the difference between making the postseason and ending up on the couch.
With their win last week despite so many idle sides, the New York Red Bulls creep into the top spot…for now. The Philadelphia Union hold down the bottom spot in the Power Rankings. Two weeks left in the season. Who gets in the playoffs? Who stays home? Your turn…hit the comments and give us your hottest of takes!

Split their two matches this week, but look to be in shape for the playoffs.

Held to scoreless draw against Dallas, but can they get that 2 seed in the West?
