Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 6/NASL Week 3/USL Week 3

Will Johnson

At this time last year (the conclusion of week 6 of the MLS season), 16 Canadians had each seen at least of minute of action for their respective MLS clubs.

This year, the number is down slightly to 14.

So, we can look at this one of two ways; Canadian soccer supporters could simply shrug and say “same old, same old but, at least we’re not plummeting badly.” Or, we could wonder why the number doesn’t grow at all, even though MLS continues to grow the number of the teams in the league.

Here are this week’s rankings of minutes played by Canadians in MLS, USL and NASL.
