    I'm thinking Kyle Martino or Damani Ralph.

    Any opinions?

    Martino's pretty good- but I'd go with Amado Guevera

    I'm thinking the answer is not Zach Thornton.

    No, not unless the question is "which MLS keeper should you not challenge in the air if you're a 160-pound rookie?"

    Ralph is definitely looking good so far. Best in MLS? Too early to tell, but he is probably a lock to keep starting for a while, so we may soon find out.

    Alex: Nate.
    Nate: Who is the guy that flattened my little stupid SS like a steamroller, Alex.
    Alex: Correct for $200. You have control of the board...

    He isn't the best but any best dribbler list ought to have Oscar Pareja somewhere on it.

    Alex Comas!

    When that guy wasn't driving his taxi cab, he was the best.

    Then Martino

    Before yesterday, I had never heard of Damani Ralph. Now I am going to keep a watch out for him. He is just so smooth.

    Preki has one move a cutback. I think Landon is great and what about Chris Henderson and Mark Chung.

    Freddy Adu's the most inventive dribbler I've seen in person.

    Let's hope DC United is lucky enough to land him next year.

    The only thing that would stop that would be death. Or maybe Inter upping their bid by a few million.


    All jokes aside;

    1. Donovan-That guy is sick, and he's not even a midfielder. Sometimes he doesn't finish though.
    2. Martino- god knows I wouldn't watch the Crew unless he was on the team (him and heydude)
    3. DMB-Dribbling, crazy skinny mad dashing, same thing.

    Chivas Martinez from Dallas is pretty good.

    There is probably more than one best dribbler, depending on how you judge. Tight spaces? Maybe Martino or Etch on a good day. Dribbles the most? Cunningham. Fastest with the ball? Beasley, used to be Nowack or Moreno. Best holder of the ball? Martino. Most dangerous? I'm not sure, perhaps Donovan or Preki. Most awareness of the field while dribbling? Preki. Makes best use of dribbling? Maybe Preki.
