When voting came out for the end-of-year awards in Major League Soccer – one award was simple to vote on – the Rookie of the Year. MLS announced that Sporting Kansas City forward C.J. Sapong has been named 2011 MLS Rookie of the Year. Sapong appeared in all 34 of Sporting’s regular season games and…[continue reading]

It may be early in the season but the class of rookies are already showing their worth. Between the SuperDraft picks and the academy kids that will likely be considered rookies this season, the race for Rookie of the Year will be a hot one. For me right now, one kid is standing firm as…[continue reading]

We know this year’s rookie class has been solid but now the time has come that things get a little tricky. For most of the rookies a 30-game season is a longer one than their really used to. Throw in clubs with extra games along the way and this is about the time of year…[continue reading]

The sixth week of the 2009 season is now in the books. A few surprises here and there including one huge blowout, one club pulling off two wins in the week and two crazy late come-from-behind victories for two other clubs. Once the dust was settled on the week Chivas USA was still on top…[continue reading]

Again, sorry for the delay in getting this recap posted today. Easter weekend, doubled with the fact I had family come in for a visit this weekend. Needless to say I didn’t have a lot of time to get to this until today. I feel like doing things a little different too here this week.…[continue reading]

I will be honest, this rookie class is already far and away better than it’s older brother from a season ago. Instead of digging deep to get a rookie of the year like we did last year it seems like we will have a true race once again this season between maybe four or five…[continue reading]
