It's a busy, busy day (or in my world: "Monday"), so let's get to the loud, foreign men yelling uncontrollably through your work computer...Let's begin with the MLS Goal of the Week candidates, which makes for a pretty tough field. I can't decide... I'm still trying to accept how cleanly Cletus hit that volley (an assist should go to Nat Borchers just for getting the hell out of the way in time). Click to continue reading...

A quick note: thanks to NSC reader Peter, we now have a better look at the Mo Edu goal from Sunday. Andrew Keh of the New York Times also has a recap of how the kid has become a weekly starter.

Yes, that is the first time NSC has featured the same artist for Cut of the Day twice in a row.

I will begin this week with mere links to some MLS Opening Day golazos. I'd have loved to embedded the clips from Kenny Cooper's pure evil lob of the keeper from across midfield, United rookie Chris Pontius' sick career account-opening curler and a crisp two-pack of Davy Arnaud crack-uhs, but alas I am nowhere near computer-savy enough to pull it off.
