All the smart patooties around SB Nation’s soccer family have started a Major League Soccer awards tracker. The initial voting will be available soon. Meanwhile, you can check out my selections at this point.
MLS Award projections: MVP, Coach of the Year and more
(FYI, if you haven’t checked out the SB Nation soccer offerings lately, do yourself a solid and look ‘em over. SB Nation soccer editor Richard “Fingers of Fury” Farley continues to fill up the site’s soccer front page with great content. Meanwhile, we recently added blogs dedicated to EPL leaders Chelsea and, just to prove we’re not frontrunners, the struggling Houston Dynamo in MLS. You’ll get ‘em next year, guys. And there’s more to come as SB Nations continues to fill out its burgeoning roster of soccer blogs.)
But I digress. Back to morning topic … While enjoying an icy, limey Pacifico last night, here’s the list I put together. Feel free to tell me where I went wrong. (About the MLS list, that is; there is no wrong when it comes to icy limey Pacifico.)
