I know this is only a rough idea of efficiency, but we'll see where it goes as the season goes on and more shots are taken and goals are scored.  Here are the Top and Bottom 4 teams based on the average of their offensive and defensive rank:

 

Top 4 (Best to Worst):  RSL, Rapids, Union, Revolution

Bottom 4 (Worst to Best): Timbers, FC Dallas, Crew, Sounders

Thoughts?

                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Alright guys, I don't believe I have to say this but, just in case, please do not submit anything racist, homophobic, sexist or otherwise not appropriate for even the younger Timbers fans.
