Oh man, I twisted the holy hell out of my ankle last night. Came down from a jump halfway on someone else's foot in the last minute of the game. Suddenly, my four flights of stairs up aren't so charming...#1 - Landon Donovan is your MLS MVP. He also won Goal of the Year. Somehow, he was beaten out for Save of the Year by Pat Onstad. I demand a recount.
#2 - Meanwhile, my MLS Team of the Season is up at S365. And I've broken rank with he masses; mine is in a 4-4-2 formation.
Why? Simple. The 3-5-2 that the league and most everyone else uses strikes me as a cheat on defenders. And that ain't cool.
#3 - As you might expect, we have some MLS Cup stuff:
- The Daily Breeze's Phil Collin salutes Da Bruce
- How it all must look to Alexi Lalas this week
- ESPN Chicago talks with RSL's Andy Williams
- James Edward spots Galaxy weaknesses
- Edward again, covering RSL on the fake stuff
- Holy spread, MLS Cup is makin' me hungry!
#4 - The Philly Union expansion draft rules are out. It all looks about how everyone figured, apart from an interesting international player caveat. Everyone re-shuffle your projected protected lists!
#5 - It looks like Brian McBride will be back in the Fire house next season.
#6 - The Seattle Times reports that MLS has been very, very good for area businesses this season.
#7 - Is Lee Nguyen about to be set free by HAGL?
Buzz at 3rd Degree tries to decipher Vietnamese. Film at 11.
#8 - We have plenty of Le Main de Dieu mop-op:
- Ireland's replay appeal rejected (big shock, eh?)
- A little late, but Henry tried to lobby for one
- The sanest UK op-ed about the incident/fallout
- Says Robbie Savage: Meh... I'd have done it, too
- Beckham defends Henry
- Despite it all, the Irish love Trapattoni
- USA Today's Mike Lopresti joins the video replay cry
#9 - In effect, by clinching an unexpected World Cup place, the Slovenia national team hollered: "Hey! Prime Minister Boru Pahor! Go home and get your f*&#in' shinebox!"
And so he did.

how long is this non-sense of no video replay going to persist at the highest levels of the game? a goal cam, can't be that big of a deal. you have someone (maybe one of the many people already watching the replays on tv) you can ding the ref when something happens one of the field refs can't see. the game can proceed as normal otherwise.
That's a really weird story in the Guardian. There's not a single mention of Beckham beyond the headline.
