An international fixture window meant most of MLS was on a break, but not the Power Rankings
While the world paused for the March FIFA international fixture window, allowing for World Cup Qualifying, African Cup of Nations Qualifying, an Olympic Playoff and friendlies, MLS proceeded with a light schedule. Week 4 saw just three matches take place, allowing 14 teams to rest those players that were not on international duty. The D.C. United-FC Dallas match was the only match to provide much excitement, and that was reserved for fans of the visitor.
