Best Of SB Nation Soccer: September 1, 2010

SB Nation’s soccer network’s growing, so you can be forgiven if you can’t get to all of its content (I say to absolve myself). That’s where the editors at SB Nation Soccer can help.

↵If you can only read a few pieces from our recent offerings, read these:

↵Black and Red United coordinates SB Nation’s Major League Soccer Power Rankings, and this week they’ve started SB Nation’s (SBNanced) MLS Award Tracking: some early incite on how award season may unfold.

↵Sounder at Heart’s Jeremiah Oshan takes a look at Seattle’s “Starfire Fortress” and why the Sounders’ more physical players have thrived at (what’s become) the alternative home ground.

↵Also at Sounder at Heart, Graham MacAree looks at the importance of Fredy Montero’s trequartista role in Sigi Schmid’s attack.

↵With the move of Robinho to Milan, Bitter and Blue’s Danny Pugsley reflects on the Brazilian’s disappointing tenure with Manchester City.

Iran thought they had advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout round. A less frequent aspect of the offside law disallowed the winning goal.
