MLS continued its surge towards the playoffs this past week with a series of weekend and midweek contests. Here are the Week 24 MLS Power Rankings after another exciting few days of action.

What a week of MLS play. Again. Jozy Altidore’s red card was terrible, but not as bad as ESPN’s crew claiming it was only a yellow. Now Sebastian Giovinco can only watch as Toronto’s MLS Cup chances slip away.

Atlanta United, meanwhile, are no longer in the lead points per game wise, but they still atop the standings after an idle week. Zlatan does not believe his team deserves a playoff spot, and Wayne Rooney and D.C. United have the momentum and games in hand to still believe the playoffs are an attainable goal.

Yes, this was yet another crazy week in MLS action. Here are the week 24 MLS Power Rankings.
