http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/04/01/vote-now-etihad-airways-mls-player-month-march TFC will likely stuff the ballot but that's okay... they deserve butter.
I'm not even sure I'd consider him the top Crew performer for March. I'd give that to Clark, one of the CBs, or Trapp.
OMG! I hope Ben Speas wins best player with five letters in his last name who featured in a relief appearance for matches played on days that are prime numbers!
On the other hand, if you wanted to vote, Clark is currently up for Save Of The Week: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/03/31/vote-now-mls-save-week-week-4 (Kennedy was great as usual.) And Meram is in a 4-way battle to finish second behind Dom Dwyer for Goal Of The Week: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/03/31/vote-now-2014-att-mls-goal-week-week-4
These fake MLS awards are a lot like the Trillium Cup to me. I really don't care if they exist or not. But since they do exist, I hope the Crew / Crew players win them.
I wonder if monetary bonuses come to the players for winning MLS sanctioned awards. If so, I'd be happy for our guys to win. If not, who cares?
31?! Wow. Didn't realize he was that old. Still, though, he is better than Hamid and Johnson at the moment, which was more to my point. Rimando is clearly better. Who's #4?
No idea who 4 would be but I cannot imagine it is Kennedy. Agreed he is better than Hamid or Johnson but just too old for Nat debut.
The league did a disservice to Clark by picking the save of his that they did. It was the one where he "tipped" it over the bar. I use quotes because it is very hard to tell if he touched it at all and if he did touch it, it is so slight as to have little affect on the trajectory and the ball goes a good 3 or 4 inches over the bar. Not much of a save in my mind. Now, his left mitt reflex save, that one was tremendous, and is the only one people were really talking about after the game. I was very surprised when I watched the video that it didn't make the cut.
Hector Jimenez is worth voting for this week: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/04/21/vote-now-2014-att-mls-goal-week-week-7
