And it comes to a close
I know I’m a few days late, but I was not impressed with this MLS cup. People are talking about how great and “best” this LA Galaxy team is. I’m thinking far from it. It has taken 3 years under the “Beckham Experiment,” as SI Soccer Analyst Grant Wahl put it, to finally get the MLS Cup final victory (they were there before but ended up losing to Real Salt Lake).
Can I please ask why there is this random love affair everyone with ties to US Soccer has with Landon Donovan?! I still have not see a true goal from this guy since joining MLS. If someone is not gifting him a shot every, single time, then he is simply WORTHLESS! Prime example, not being able to stay in Europe after going on load (did he even play when he was with Bayern Munich?!)
One thing that is looking good though is the fact that Dwayne De Rosario, the 2011 Volkswagen MLS MVP, is making a nice home in the Nation’s Capital. He will be an integral part of this DC United squad after helping them almost make the play offs after years of not seeing post season play. There are a lot of changes that need to come about for DC, but at the same time, this was a VERY VERY young squad that learned throughout the season what you truly needed to do to be successful in MLS. Ben Olsen needs to be given a ton of credit for starting to turn this once proud, now upsetting, squad around and heading in the right direction.
Lots of stuff probably going to be coming out in the near future for both DC United and the Richmond Kickers. For instance, DC plans to unveil their 2012 kit on Monday, November 28 and will include them as being 30% off on Cyber Monday.
I will see what I can do about posting more often. Unfortunately it is the end of my final semester so it may not be until it is all said and done. If anything interesting really happens, though, I will be posting.
Mia san mia!
