15. New York (2-10-3): Another week, another loss for the Red Bulls, but at least they scored.

Game of the week

D.C. United at Seattle

Very methodically D.C. United is playing some of the best soccer in MLS. Will they be able to duplicate it on the road in front of Seattle's nearly 30,000 rowdy fans? The Sounders haven't exactly been tearing up the league lately, but they are coming off a win last weekend.
