MLS Best XI

How does this look for a best XI lineup.  This is the group that was named to the MLS best XI for this 2009 season.  Only a single player from the best XI will be represented in the MLS Cup this Sunday.  That is of course Landon Donovan – US player of the decade.

Conor Casey – Jeff Cunningham

Dwayne De Rosario – Landon Donovan – Stuart Holden – Shalrie Joseph – Freddie Ljungberg

Geoff Cameron – Wilman Conde – Chad Marshall

So what do you think, is this a good lineup?  Is there anyone more deserving of a spot here?

Who is the man?

These guys are on fire right now. Sorry if you think I’m excluding someone more deserving.

Josh Wolff

This 32 year old striker for the Kansas City Wizards struck Real Salt Lake for 2 goals today. This has Wolff right up near the top of the season scoring leaders.

Thornton started out as a backup keeper for Chivas USA. Just earlier tonight he beat Brad Guzan’s Chivas USA record for most consecutive shutout minutes – and he is still adding to it.

Both of these guys left Major League Soccer and eventually came back. Neither were too successful in Europe but they both seem to have a bright future in MLS.
