Mayhem. That's what you probably thought late Sunday night when you checked all the scores from Week 12 of the Major League Soccer season. Most of the bottom teams in the league squared off against the top half of the Supporters Shield standings...and almost all of them walked away with victories against those top teams. The most impressive victory of the bunch was arguably Philly distributing work at Red Bull Arena to the home team, but other teams--Montreal and Colorado, especially--were able to get impressive victories as well.
So, where does that leave the rankings this week? Well, the top spot and the bottom spot don't change, but there is plenty of movement in-between. Where do you see the rankings so far? What team had the most impressive win this week? Let us know in the comments!
