Inescapably Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 20/USL Week 18

Alphonso Davies

So, as consolation goals go, Alphonso Davies’s strike against D.C. United will go down as one of the greatest in MLS history.

Down 3-0 in the brand-new Audi Field to the Eastern Conference’s last-place team (but, to be fair, D.C. United does have a bunch of games in hand on Toronto FC), Davies scored a late goal that might only be surpassed by Eric Hassli’s famous wonder strike against the Seattle Sounders for “most picturesque goal in Whitecaps’ MLS history.”

The Canadian teen skipped through pretty well the entire D.C. United backline, including an audacious back-heel move, before ripping a shot into the far corner of the goal. He made the defenders look like wax-figure imitations of themselves.

So, we salute Davies’s goal as we update the minutes-played-by-Canadians rankings.

Here are the rankings after the 20th week of MLS play/18th week of USL action:
