If I were to start a new team...

I was asking myself in the shower, "If I were to make a team, picking one, and only one, player from each MLS club..who would I take and how would my team look?"

I know, I know, I really gotta start daydreaming about other, more normal, stuff...like winning the lottery.

So, here's my picks from each team and how my team would shape up.


Chicago Fire - Patrick Nyarko (F/W)
C.D. Chivas USA - Jonathan Bornstein (D)
Colorado Rapids - Conor Casey (F)
Columbus Crew - Andy Iro (D)
D.C. United - Andy Najar (W)
FC Dallas - David Ferreira (MF)
Houston Dynamo - Geoff Cameron (D/M)
Kansas City Wizards - Ryan Smith (W/MF)
Los Angeles Galaxy - Landon Donovan (M/F)
New England Revolution - Marko Perović (MF)
New York Red Bulls – Thierry Henry (F)
Philadelphia Union - Jordan Harvey (D)
Real Salt Lake - Kyle Beckerman (MF)
San Jose Earthquakes - Ike Opara (D)
Seattle Sounders FC - Kasey Keller (G)
Toronto FC - Stefan Frei (G)


-----------Casey------Henry---------
---------------Donovan---------------
Najar----------------------------Smith
--------------Beckerman--------------
Bornstein-------------------Cameron
-------------Iro-------Opara----------
----------------Keller-----------------

Bench:
Frei
Nyarko
Perović
Harvey
Ferreira


I thought about using only non-dp players, but thought about it some more and figured, they are on the rosters, why not? So, what do you think of my team? Tell me how this club wouldn't win MLS Cup.

I got one team better, and I'm not going to limit myself to one player per team, but I am NOT going to pick any DP's. Ready?

KC Wizards: Ryan Smith, Kei Kamara, Teal Bunbury
RBNY: Mehdi Ballouchy, Tim Ream, Bouna Coundoul
Seattle: Sanna Nyassi, Freddy Montero
Rapids: Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Omar Cummings
RSL: Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales
FC Dallas: Brek Shea, Kevin Hartman, Heath Pierce
LA Galaxy: Omar Gonzalez
San Jose: Ike Opara
DC United: Andy Najar

Formation like this:

--Nyassi---Montero---Cummings---

Morales-------------------Kamara
----------Beckerman--------

Shea---Moor---Gonzales---Wynne

USA Soccer's Logo

Image
There's been an interesting discussion going on over on The Shin Guardian regarding the USA's soccer logo. The one now is bad, real bad. I've been talking about that for a while now with friends. The colors are wrong. The use of "US" instead of "USA" is wrong. The clipart looking soccer ball is wrong. It's just bad. So, I decided to come up with some alternative ideas and using my limited graphics knowledge, put some of them together. So here it goes. Version 1: I made minor changes to this, using the correct colors and the correct nomenclature and eliminating the soccer ball. I like it, kinda plain though. Version 2: This version is based on Nike's Don't Tread campaign badge. It has a snake on it which I don't like so I took it off. I also corrected the colors and added "USA Soccer" to it. Version 3: For this I was looking at other USA symbols and came across this and loved it. I added the badge to it and gave it more of the h

2/3rd Season Grades

This Rapids season feels just like the past few Rapids seasons. Off to a great start and then crawl to the finish. If you break it down into 3 ten game segments, the Rapids started off great with a 6-3-1 (W-L-T) record and 19 points. If you look at the second 10 game segment, it hasn't been very good. The Rapids were 1-3-6 (W-L-T) with 9 points in the last ten games they've played, including the 3-1 loss in Columbus over the weekend. Let's take a look at who's been on the field and how I grade them. (In order of minutes played) G - Matt Pickens (1800 mins) B+ He's been pretty good in goal, he's started every game thus far. He and the defense have had good communication. I would say has been one of the top keepers in MLS this year. D - Drew Moor (1800 mins) B+ I don't think that Rapids fans, myself included, knew just how good this guy was when the Rapids traded for him. He's been a rock in the back line, whether it be in central defense or on the wing,

On The Merger

You may have heard by now that the 3 (4 if you count the Colonials), are merging into one mega super duper awesome supporter group. #OneGroup There are many reasons that have been given for the merger and many that seem like this would be a great idea. However, I stand against this merger. You might be saying, wait, you're a contrarian to everything so why is this news? Well, here's why I think it's a bad idea. People are different. The people that represent the current Class VI and Pid Army and BSG are just different types of people. This is not to say that people can't put their differences aside and work together, but when it comes to identifying yourself and/or representing a group, there will be plenty of issues that arise from trying to blanket a diverse group of people within one. These conflicts will not bode well for the long term viability of this mega group. We don't have to all be the same. It's ok to be different. It's ok to have differe
