Week 19 is over, Portland extended their league-leading unbeaten streak to 11, and Orlando extended their losing streak to 9, which is the longest in MLS since Toronto also lost 9 in a row in 2012. It is the second longest since ties were allowed (RSL lost 10 straight in 2005). Sporting KC appears to have hit the “Sporting Wall” after winning 7 out of their first 11, as they have only won 2 of their last 8, and are winless in 3.
This week’s big winners by position were Seattle and RSL both climbing three spots, while FC Dallas dropped three to be the biggest loser.
