Ruffian Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 It is crazy that some of these players with less contribution, less goals and less assists than Jonathon Osorio and on teams with similar records are ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Poll was done some time mid season, not recently. So stats would be skewered for judging players right now vice some time mid season. (and perception of contribution to the team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Also, voted by journalists. So it's all about those highlight reel goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It will be fun to look back in 5 years and see how accurate this list is. I'm willing to bet that Osorio and Henry have better careers than most on the list, ridiculous to exclude them IMO. Akindele shouldn't be ahead of any of Teibert, Osorio or Henry. Yedlin is the next great thing in world football if you listen to MLS. Can anyone else not see how overrated he is? We'll see how his European adventure goes... Erick Torres and Fabian Castillo are #1 and 2 in this league for young talent. Then you can put Yedlin at #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWFC Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It is crazy that some of these players with less contribution, less goals and less assists than Jonathon Osorio and on teams with similar records are ahead of him. Soccer isnt about stats, but regardless the whole 24 under 24 is nonsense. To be fair I think we can also be guilty of over rating our guys. There is no one on the list that you'd say ' holy f*ck how did _______ make it ahead of Osorio'? Its just depressing that there is only 1 committed Canadian out of 24.

As much as I have supported him, the Morgan selection by this particular writer is surprising to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
