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.

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.

Re-Entry Draft field continues to shrink, leaves few options ahead of first stage

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.

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.

Pitiful Chivas USA close out season in familiar fashion

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.

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.

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.
