Best & Worst MLS Teams After Three Games Played

Counting shootouts as draws. The 2010 Galaxy became the 7th team in league history to win their first three games. They can be joined by the Wizards if they can win for a second straight year at Qwest Field against Seattle.

Top 10 Best





W L D Pts GF GA GD
3 1 1999 Chicago 3 0 0 9 10 2 8
3 2 2009 Seattle 3 0 0 9 7 0 7
3 3 1997 Tampa Bay 3 0 0 9 8 2 6
3 4 2010 Los Angeles 3 0 0 9 5 0 5
3 5 2009 Chivas USA 3 0 0 9 6 2 4
3 6 2006 Kansas City 3 0 0 9 6 2 4
3 6 1996 Los Angeles 3 0 0 9 6 3 3
3 8 2000 Los Angeles 2 0 1 7 8 3 5
3 9 2008 Chicago 2 0 1 7 6 1 5
3 10 2005 New England 2 0 1 7 9 5 4

None of those teams ended up winning the title, though two made it to the MLS Cup.

Meanwhile, DC became the 10th team to lose their first three. Toronto can join them if they lose again.

Top 10 Worst





W L D Pts GF GA GD
3 1 2007 Toronto 0 3 0 0 0 9 -9
3 2 1999 Kansas City 0 3 0 0 0 8 -8
3 3 2010 DC United 0 3 0 0 2 9 -7
3 4 1996 DC United 0 3 0 0 1 7 -6
3 5 2004 Columbus 0 3 0 0 1 6 -5
3 6 2009 Dallas 0 3 0 0 2 7 -5
3 7 1996 New York 0 3 0 0 1 5 -4
3 8 2007 DC United 0 3 0 0 3 7 -4
3 9 1998 New York 0 3 0 0 4 8 -4
3 10 2001 New England 0 3 0 0 2 5 -3

Here we have one MLS Cup winner and two Supporters Shield winners. So there's some hope yet.

Interestingly, only three teams have a 100% winning or losing record after four games. Those are 1996 LA (4-0), 2001 NE (0-4), and 2007 TOR (0-4). LA started 8-0 while NE started 0-6, which are the records.
