Re: [nas] Evil Empire? (MLS Cup RRRR)

No real word on that yet (this is a brand new problem). Lots of possibilities. Olsen could play on the right, and we could then replace him with a holding mid, or with a defender if we want to go 4-4-2.

Depending on how we juggle it around, maybe we start Freddy next season (he's a lefty).

Who's replacing Earnie next year on the right?

I don't know how evil they are--some more than others, I suppose--but to me
they were the class of the league in style this year. Nowak had them
playing confident, attractive soccer right from the beginning of the
season. And by the end they could even score goals! Great coaching year..
More better stuff to come, I hope.

And how in the world did Jaime Moreno not win MVP?

P.S. As for KC, you gotta applaud the effort, but the four or five times I
saw them this year (including yesterday) they looked kinda like NE only w/o
the talent. I mean, Gutierrez, for example. He's a nice player, but if he's
_the_ skill player for one of the two cup finalists then this league still
has some room for improvement.
