		Joe Cannon becomes the third straight Rapids player to be nominated for the League's highest honor, as Rapids forward John Spencer was one of the three finalists in the 2003 season, and Rapids midfielder Mark Chung was one of the 3 finalists in 2002.
		Cannon, the 2002 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, almost singlehandedly guided the Rapids to third place and a playoff berth in the Western Conference.
		He was one of only four players in MLS to play every minute of every game during the 2004 campaign, leading the League in saves (150) and save percentage (80 percent) while facing the most shots in the League (431).

		This was the third consecutive season in which a Rapids player had been named as a finalist for MLS MVP, but as was the case with midfielder Mark Chung in 2002 and John Spencer in 2003, Cannon was defeated by the year’s Scoring Champion.
		Cannon was the only 'keeper in MLS to appear in all of his team’s regular season matches, and he led the league with 150 saves and 10 shutouts.

		During that offseason, MLS made a point of announcing that its investors were committed to operating the league through 2006.
		While MLS still signs the occasional European star in his late 30s such as the MetroStars' Youri Djorkaeff, the league is far more likely to import young players who will either have a long career in MLS or bring in some money through transfer fees.
		MLS shunned most of these gimmicks at the outset but differed from the international game with a tiebreaking shootout, a small change to substitution rules and a game clock that counted down to an abrupt end at 0:00.

		The quality of play in MLS has improved since the league was founded in 1996 and the success of the United States Men's National Team in the FIFA World Cup 2002 Korea/Japan, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 1930, has been partly attributed to the experience gained by playing in MLS.
		MLS was formed in 1996, following the successful staging of the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 in the United States.
		In MLS, a player is not considered an international (regardless of eligibility to play for the U.S. National Team) if he is a U.S. citizen, is a resident alien (green card), or under asylum protection.

	With trade impossible, Valderrama is handed over to Tampa Bay.
		MLS, a single-entity structure in which all player contracts belong to the league, called the move a "re-assignment," but Miami received nothing for the talented playmaker whose feud with Fusion coach Ivo Wortman made the player's exile necessary.
		He was the best player in MLS in both 1996 and '97 and to have him back is not only a major plus for our team, but a treat for our fans as well.
		During the inaugural season, he served as the lynch pin to a 20-12 Mutiny team that led MLS in goals scored with 65.
