Its morning and already I am seeing a flood of stuff to discuss today. I know I missed posting my week 16 player of the week and goal of the week, that will come later on today if time allows me to. I mainly wanted to get a couple things out of the way that…[continue reading]

The first 11 players were named to the 2008 MLS All-Star game that takes place later this month in Toronto against EPL side West Ham United. Again, this is the first 11, not the starting lineup.
