Ever since Amado Guevara was shown the door, I've been clamoring for an actual #10 Creative
Midfielder for our team - to absolutely no avail. That genius Bruce Arena (besides destroying our
pretty good backline in 2007) saddled us with the perenially injured Claudio Reyna, who (as a
defensive midfielder) was absolutely not the creative player we needed.
You can follow the MLS SuperDraft here. The highlights so far: *Chivas USA, picking fifth, need a
goalscorer or two in addition to Juan Pablo Angel, so they picked up a striker who had 17 goals in
22 games last year, Casey Townsend. That's the entire draft for the Goats
Chivas USA had a new head coach and a new system last season, but after a slow start the team
looked to be set in neutral in the competitive Western Conference. However, the acquisition of

Fans expecting their team to nab that missing piece of the MLS Cup puzzle in the Re-entry Draft
on Monday shouldn't get their hopes up.
Last year, clubs used the mechanism to bolster their rosters with the likes of Juan Pablo Angel,
Josh Wolff, Jimmy Conrad and Cory Gibbs.

Don't expect to be wowed by the second edition of the MLS Re-Entry Draft now that most of the
big names initially available are off the table.
Between Bobby Convey being traded to Sporting Kansas City, Bobby Boswell re-signing with the
Houston Dynamo, Ante Jazic re-signing with Chivas USA and Santino Quaranta retiring, the quality of
the draft pool has dropped immensely.
Ever read those posts on SI.com, Fox Soccer, or ESPN.com with the "five thoughts about ..." and
then, well, lo and behold, they offer you five random thoughts about a topic?
Yeah, I always thought they were mailing it in too, too rushed or whatever to come up with a
lede, coherent structure for the column, etc.

STARTERSI'm getting goosebumps already! MLS Cup is 6 days away.

Bruce Arena of the LA Galaxy has been named the MLS Coach of the Year.
-That was an easy one. No one else was even close.

The New England Revolution has hired Jay "He also played basketball for Mike Krzyzewski at Duke"
Heaps as their new head coach.

I had every intention of doing this revisit sooner but things happen as you know. Today, we'll
finally wrap up this positional rankings revisit with a look at the forwards.
To recap, here the midfield, defense and keepers.
The 2012 MLS Draft is ten weeks away, and while we still have eight teams alive in the MLS
playoffs, those teams that saw their seasons ended already have changed their focus squarely to the
draft.
It is still a bit early to know for sure exactly which players will be available, which
underclassmen will secure Generation adidas deals, and what kind of foreign talent MLS will squeeze
into the draft.
Well, thank heaven that's over with.
Chivas USA finished their season the way they had lived it with a static back four that gave
goalkeeper Dan Kennedy kittens against a Seattle Sounders team that was looking to settle in at a
stadium they hope to see a lot of in the next 30 days.
This was horrific "The Walking Dead" stuff and whatever Kennedy screamed at his defense during
this one was insufficient.
It's a very Pacific Northwest kind of day here in Carson with fog billowing therough the stadium
and several hundred Sounders fans in the stands outcheering the home crowd.
Seattle has started pretty much a full strength lineup: Kasey Keller-James Riley, Jeff Parke
(who has returned from concussion) Jhon kennedy Hurtado, Leo Gonzalez-Alvaro Fernandez, Brad Evans,
Osvaldo Alonso, Mauro Rosales-Mike Fucito, Fredy Montero.

Chivas USA had an up and down 2011. Their season looked promising at times but injuries piled up
and issues with scoring took this team over. First year manager Robin Fraser did a decent job this
year but will have the fun task of going through the roster to figure out who stays and who will be
left available for next month's expansion draft.

CARSON, Calif. --Chad Barrett scored his seventh goal of the season as the Los Angeles Galaxy
defeated Chivas USA in the SuperClasico in front of 27,000 at the Home Depot Center.
Barrett broke through in the 53rd minute of play when he headed in a cross from Adam Cristman
into an empty net.
It hasn't been an ideal year for Chivas USA, and Michael Lahoud has been there for all of it.
Having played with the club since 2009, the Sierra-Leonean middie has seen his fair share of ups
and downs, including the addition of Juan Pablo Angel in 2011. Off the field, Mr. Lahoud is known
for his charitable work, having been named MLS's Humanitarian of the Year for his work against HIV
and continued effort to build schools in his home nation.

After following up his breakout 2010 campaign with a surprisingly slow start from a goals
standpoint, Sebastien Le Toux is finding his attacking form at the perfect time for the
Philadelphia Union.
Le Toux scored seven goals in six matches in September, including two-goal efforts against New
England and D.

The playoff race
Saturday's 1–1 draw in San Jose put Kansas City in first place in the East with 45 points.
With the opportunity to overtake them and gain a one point advantage, the Philadelphia Union were
unable to prevent Juan Pablo Angel's 90th minute header and had to settle for a 1–1 draw and
second place in the standings with 44 points.
On Sunday, the Union played Chivas USA to a drab draw in front of a sparsely populated Home
Depot Center in Carson, California. After a slow-paced first half that yielded few chances, Justin
Mapp opened the scoring in the second half before the sensational Juan Pablo Angel drew the home
side level at the death.

CARSON, Calif. – The Philadelphia Union were just a few seconds of regulation and a few
minutes of overtime from regaining the hold on first place they lost during the summer, but before
they could even celebrate it, Juan Pablo Angel stepped in to spoil the party.
Tonight proved once again that the Philadelphia Union cannot figure out how to properly save a
lead. A goal by Chivas USA striker Juan Pablo Angel in the 90th minute of the game took the air out
of the Union's chance to go back to the top of the Eastern Conference table.
Head coach Piotr Nowak deserves the criticism that comes his way for his management of the game
tonight.
Setting: Sunday, October 2 at The Home Depot Center in Carson,
Calif.; kickoff scheduled for 8:06:30 PM Eastern

Taylor Twellman, Bob Rigby), coverage beginning at 7:30 PM with a pre-game show / PRIME TICKET

tBG: What's gotten into Juan Pablo Angel? Did a "cross"-city move
actually rejuvenate his career, or is there another explanation - tactically, perhaps - for his
great form?

CARSON, Calif. – Juan Pablo Angel may have been in a slump with the Los Angeles Galaxy earlier
this season, but at Chivas USA the 35-year-old stiker has proven once again that he still has
quality minutes left in his tank.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation reports that Keon Daniel may have contracted dengue
fever, a mosquito-borne illness, and will miss the CONCACAF World Cup qualifier against Bermuda.
The guy simply cannot catch a break.
JP Dellacamera says the Kansas City draw is cause for optimism.
