http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20041113&content_id=18935&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp The Crew always seems to get shafted on the Best XI The Chad Marshall screw job continues, the hardon the media has for Eddie Pope is very confusing. I guess anchoring the worst defense in the league is good now?
Pope did have a bad year, but he's the most recognizable name, so it doesn't suprise me. Where's Donovan?
I'm suprised you aren't complaining that Busch and Buddle aren't on the list as well. The Crew player (Frasier) deserves to be on the Best XI, he was the best defender of the year. But Gaven?
Yep, Big ups to Fraser. He deserved it. You can make an argument for Busch, but I really do think Cannon was the best GK this year. As for Buddle, not very consistant so not deserving at all. Not even 2nd team really. Gaven had 7 goals 7 assists so I think he's worthy. Donovan really played more forward this year so it's hard to put him in over Gaven as a mid. A little surprised not to see EJ, but Ching and Moreno are both deserving.
