The weather outside is scorching hot, and so was Major League soccer action during Week 20 of the season. With 28 goals in 10 games, including the slugfest that was the California Clásico, teams are trying to do what they can to move up the ladder in the playoff race and the Supporters Shield rankings. As the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup draws to a close this weekend, teams will start to get their stars back. Could August be the moment the league fireworks really start popping? We will certainly see.
The Galaxy keep the top spot in this week's rankings, while DC's inability to hold off the stoppage time winner means they drop a couple spots. Meanwhile, Seattle's freefall continues. What do you see in this week's rankings? What teams are ready to make their move as the calendar creeps towards August? You know the drill...hit up those comments, y'all!

Can’t give up points in stoppage time if they want to remain in the SS race.

Keep signing stars, but not seeing them on the field. Their results show.
