The last week or so has been a bit of a mixed bag for FC Dallas. On one hand, they got a big home win over LAFC last weekend to end a six-game winless streak. On the other hand, they dropped a disappointing game to D.C. United on Tuesday night.

Yeah, a bit of a mess, to say the least.

Here is what the latest Power Rankings had to say about FC Dallas:

MLSSoccer.com - Rank 12 (up 2)

Comment: It’s understandably a bit rough right now without Jesús Ferreira and Paul Arriola. They could take a big leap forward if they find the right additions this window. They need some extra juice and have for a while. Hopefully, they aren’t happy with just being a totally fine team.

ESPNFC - Rank 11 (up 3)*

Comment: Exactly how Dallas made it out of the first half against LAFC unscathed remains a mystery, but the second 45 was a lot better, and Bernard Kamungo's second goal of the season was his second match-winner. Nobody is more timely to the scoresheet than Kamungo right now, and these were a big three points he earned Dallas.

*These comments came after the LAFC win and before the DCU loss. So keep that in mind.


Here are rankings for those who don’t leave comments:

I’m sure there are others out that project and discuss things like this. Feel free to leave them in the comments below, and I will try to add them next week. I do know some out there are either a week or three behind (US Soccer Players) or are behind a paywall (Soccer America & Soccer by Ives).
