Major League Soccer ?@MLS 5m
Tomorrow at 2pm ET. State of the League + #BestXI reveal. Tune in: http://soc.cr/rnLyV
How many Best XI do you folks think we'll get? Besler and Collin obviously have a shot. Nielsen won't get it. None of our forwards. Thinking Zusi will miss out. I think Uri would deserve it, but he absolutely won't.
Here's my prediction: (Almost positive they do 3 defenders)
GK: Ricketts
DEF: Besler, Goncalves, Collin
MID: Magee, Donovan, Morales, Valeri
FOR: Di Vaio, Keane, Camilo
Honorable mentions: Rimando, Gonzalez, Nagbe, Le Toux, Fagundez
I personally don't think Zusi deserves it, but I could see him swap in for Donovan or Morales. Valeri and Magee are absolute locks. So are Keane, Di Vaio, and Goncalves.
Actual Best XI just announced:
GK: Ricketts
DEF: Besler, Goncalves, Gonzalez
MID: Cahill, W. Johnson, Zusi, Valeri
FOR: Magee, Keane, Di Vaio
So I got 7 correct out of 11. Had they considered Magee a midfielder (it's debatable whether or not he's a forward or midfielder), Camilo would have been the third forward. Seems pretty ridiculous to leave Camilo out as he was the Golden Boot winner..
