Adam Cristman – New England Revolution Maurice Edu – Toronto FC Dane Richards – New York Red Bulls Solid final three, though I felt Robbie Findley was a stronger candidate than Cristman.

Playoff Format Under Attack

Monday Morning Free Kicks: Round 1 Recap


I can’t say I am surprised by this past weekend. A couple “upsets” this weekend caused a lot of confusion in some people’s mind about the playoffs and what is to come.
