For once, there's no argument when it comes to where FC Dallas should stand in the MLS Power Rankings; pundits across the board have ranked FCD number one. The folks at
MLSsoccer.com ranked Dallas number one
for the first time this season, citing the play of goalkeeper Rauls Fernandez and playmaker David Ferreira as reasons for FCD's rise.
Avi Creditor at SportsIllustrated.com and Ives Galarcep with Soccer By Ives both kept FC Dallas on top of their rankings, with both noting the contributions of a healthy David Ferreira to FCD's success. The rankings on ESPNFC.com and Goal.com both pointed out that Dallas' win was a special milestone for head coach Schellas Hyndman while keeping the club ranked number one. And Yahoo! Sports and the Bleacher Report also both named FC Dallas as the top team in Major League Soccer after week eight.
