If the Cup were to be played today...

it would be between Dallas (6-1-3) and New England (6-0-3). Surprise, surprise. Both teams have played pretty consistently this year, and have been at the top for much of the season this far. The Crew (3-6-1), on the other hand, have consistently played rather poorly. Granted, they are not as Colorado (2-7-2) or Chivas USA (1-8-1), but they have done rather poorly when it comes to finishing well.
