Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 29 teams across Major League Soccer
The 2024 MLS field is more open than ever. There's no clear front-runner in the race for the MLS Supporters' Shield at this point, and no favorite to take home silverware at the end of the campaign.
Reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew are finally looking like title-holders, while Real Salt Lake may just be the most exciting team in all of MLS. Elsewhere, 2023 Supporters' Shield winners FC Cincinnati are soaring, while Inter Miami are trending downwards. Both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are at Copa America, and Miami is showing signs of missing their stars.
Then there's the contenders who are unexpectedly creeping up: LAFC, the LA Galaxy, the Colorado Rapids and a very awkward Portland Timbers side.
With 25 Matchdays complete, which club leads the pack, and who is falling short of expectations? GOAL presents the latest MLS Power Rankings.

Sometimes you just have to be happy you play in a cool stadium, have great fans, and are somewhat close to the beach on the coast of California.
That's about all San Jose has going for them, at the moment.

Oh, D.C. United…
They look like an amateur team competing in MLS. It's been rough to watch. Winless since May 11, it's just been ugly.
27Nashville SC ⬇️
Thing's aren't going as expected for Nashville on the pitch, but the biggest positive is that they've hired a coach who seems to know how to get the job done.

A massive July 4 victory over the Timbers had them buzzing, but somehow, they followed it up with a loss to Sporting days later.
FCD are in a confusing state at the moment.
