YAHOO!!! We own 10% of the 20 BEST MLS PLAYERS!

By: Dave Martinez | February 21st, 2008

Put this under the “MEANINGLESS POLLS FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES” category.

Yahoo! has once again graced us with their professional soccer opinions! This time around, they rank the top 20 players in the MLS, all based on past league merit, with a slight basis on past ability. Meaning Marcelo Gallardo will not make the list.

How well did we do? Well, read the blog title! And it gets better!

But first, in the great honor of misleading information through journalism (I learn it from the New York Times), I must confess, 10%, though a nice sized percentage, is meaningless. Fact of the matter is, Los Angeles has 10% also. Take it for what its worth.

The one thing we CAN claim over the GALS is that we have 20% of the top 10! Ah I love percentages . . . .

8. Jozy Altidore, forward, New York Red Bulls – Could be the future of U.S. soccer. The 18-year-old boasts strength, intelligence and maturity.

10. Juan Pablo Angel, forward, New York Red Bulls – A proven finisher who added an edge to the Red Bulls franchise.

I LOVE knowing that people fear our offense.

Now if we could only get the same respect on the defensive end . . . . OSORIO TO THE RESCUE!

So hold your heads up proud RBNY fans! Sure, its been a quiet offseason, and yea, we are still, basically, the same team as last year . . . but we have the best attack options in the league. Hands down.
