American Soccer News - Dan Loney Outlook: I predicted before MLS Cup last year that they would win MLS Cup this year, but that was when they still had Nelsen. Vanney's defensive skills, vastly improved from his first MLS run, along with his lethal free kicks, should give the Hoops enough of a boost to make the playoffs with considerable ease. Every year, people pick the champion to repeat, the same players to make the Best XI, and the same teams to miss the playoffs. www.cybersoccernews.com /columnists/loney/050408loney.shtml   (4209 words)

Soccer Thoughts Even more so in the MLS playoffs, when you only have to make it through four games to win the MLS Cup (and really, you only have to win three games and shut up shop in one of the legs in the conference semifinals).

MLS Preview Of course, 20-year old superstar Landon Donovan, the leading scorer during the 2002 MLS Cup Playoffs, and Jeff Agoos, the 2002 MLS Defender of the Year, will be back at Spartan Stadium this summer. The Burn remains one of only two teams (L.A. is the other) to reach the MLS Cup Playoffs every year since the League's inception, but it has advanced past the first round just twice. Never has an MLS team featured the Budweiser Scoring Champions from the two previous seasons, but by releasing several high profile players from last year's squad, the Revolution were able to land striker Mamadou Diallo through the Allocation Draft, and later selected reigning League MVP Alex Pineda Chacon during the Dispersal Draft. www.soccergamenight.com /mls/news2002/march/0322preview.htm   (906 words)
