An excerpt:
The team has collected 12 points in their first nine games, placing them in sixth place in a much improved Eastern Conference. The start is their best since the last time they made the playoffs in 2012.
They acquired over the past offseason core players in central midfielders Dax McCarty and Juninho, along with a star player in Bastian Schweinsteiger.
