    <i>"The Caps Countdown" is our newest post-game feature here on AFTN. Every game we'll be doing player rankings with a slight twist. The starting eleven is ranked from eleven to one, from worst to first. Who was the 'man of the match' and who had a game to forget for Vancouver against Chivas?</i>

    [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

    <b>11 - Matt Watson</b>

    - Was very shaky on the ball. Had chances to extend scoreline and made critical mistakes with the ball. Second straight very shaky game.

    <b>10 - Daigo Kobayashi</b>

    - He was sucking wind by the 60th minute. Only second game back from injury but didn't look like he was comfortable on the pitch.

    <b>9 - YP Lee</b>

    - Was out of position on the wing numerous time. Defending teams are learning how to defend his crosses into the box.

    <b>8 - Jordan Harvey</b>

    - Another shaky 15-20 minutes to start the game. Bad luck on goal that bounced of his hip. Settled down a lot in the final 60 minutes. Third goal of the season gets some criticism off his back.

    <b>7 - Brad Knighton</b>

    - Was not forced into a save all game long. Was very calm with the ball and had good communication with his central defenders.

    <b>6 - Carlyle Mitchell</b>

    - Very strong game on the ball. Did not make any big mistakes and played his part of the pitch very well.

    <b>5 - Johnny Leveron</b>

    - Played a great game, especially considering all the recent travel. Was strong on the ball when he had to be. Didn't get caught out of position and had great communication with Knighton.

    <b>4 - Kenny Miller</b>

    - Was a force attacking the ball. Had Chivas defenders on their heels all game long. Didn't get on the official score sheet but played a great game.

    <b>3 - Nigel Reo-Coker</b>

    - Really took charge after the Chivas goal. Demanded players be in the right spots on the pitch. Played strong and commanded the centre of the pitch.

    <b>2 - Russell Teibert</b>

    - Single handedly took the ball and set up Camilo's first goal to give the Caps a 2-1 halftime lead. Another two assists gives him seven in all games this season and his six in the past four League games sees him jointly leading MLS.

    <b>1 - Camilo</b>

    - Two goals and one assist. Man of the match. Almost notched the hat trick in the 90th minute. Barring an amazing performance elsewhere, this should be enough to give him MLS Player of the Week honours.
