    San Jose Earthquakes soccer star Bobby Convey, who grew up in northeast Philadelphia and attended Penn Charter, has been named winner of the Native Son Award.

    Despite being partially blind in his left eye because of optic-nerve damage, Convey, 27, has excelled both internationally and in the MLS. Last season he battled back from the effects of 2007 knee surgery and hamstring injuries that plagued him in 2009 to lead the Earthquakes to the MLS Cup playoffs and their third highest point total (46) in franchise history.​

    Forlan said he wants to play in the Carioca championship, as did his father, and these teams have not hesitated to open the doors. As well as in the U.S. market. Major League Soccer's pop dreams of Uruguay, in particular the Seattle Sounders, who wants to grow with the hiring of Uruguayan. In any case, even these destinations attract Forlan would not be for now, because if you leave, the Uruguayan wants to sign his last big contract in Europe.​

These players can not exploit that for a year or two. Sylvain Wiltord missed this chance here, and now he is too old." As a designated player, former Rennes would hit there a salary of $ 500,000 annually, according to Durand.​

    The artcile about the Sunday league team named DC United is pretty funny. We know we have made it when this kind of thing happens.

    When I read that quote, I thought the same thing...

    Although I am very respectful towards Bimbo for its work in the soccer industry.

    It's a very odd quote though (I'm being kind, I actually think it's stupid). I can't think of a single soccer team whose nickname has become associated with its shirt sponsor. Maybe they're a bunch of them out there, but I can't think of them.

    E.g., nobody calls the Galaxy "Herbalife" or RSL "Xango". I don't know what Quinn is talking about.

    My dad often jokes by walking in the room and saying something along the lines of "Oh, Samsung is playing Vodafone?", so perhaps that's what Quinn had in mind ;)

    Well, there is Red Bull New York. Of course, that sponsorship deal will hit billions before long, so that's a bit different.

    Forget the Cosmos. That's a warmed over Jersey name. The second (first) NYC team should be the Rock Stars. This is America, baby. You want rivalry? How about Chevy vs. Ford? Mac vs. PC? iphone vs. droids?
