So the challenge was simple enough: Pick an MLS starting eleven that which has a total 2010
Guaranteed Compensation under $1,000,000.
The results were simple enough too. A pretty good team, I'd say. (Review it here.)
But as it turns out, the process of choosing the team and some insight about the league that
came from it are probably what was the most interesting.
New England Revolution's attempts at winning the North American SuperLiga title for a second
time were dashed on Wednesday as they were defeated at home by Mexican opponents Monarcas Morelia
by two goals to one in front of a disappointing 10,000 crowd. The Revs had previously won
the competition two years earlier having beaten compatriots Houston Dynamo in a penalty shoot-out
but any repeat of that triumph was put to the sword after Morelia left the American hosts with too
much to do after taking a two goal lead in this game.
After each match the contributors to New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of
the Revolution players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5 average, 10
perfection). This week Brian O'Connell and Sean Donahue contributed ratings for the Revs' 2-2 draw
against the Columbus Crew.
