	washingtonpost.com: D.C. Is Overlooked for MLS Awards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Players and officials were a little irritated by the lack of recognition following a late-season surge that propelled United into Sunday's MLS Cup final against Kansas City.
		United forward Jaime Moreno appeared to be the favorite to win the MLS most valuable player award Thursday, but MetroStars midfielder Amado Guevara was named the winner.
		Adu was honored for being involved in the MLS play of the year -- his spectacular run and goal against Los Angeles in May. He did not, however, win the rookie of the year award; that honor, to no one's surprise, went to New England midfielder Clint Dempsey.

		He was one of eight D.C. United players named to the MLS All-Star Team that beat English Premier League club Chelsea 1-0, and a legitimate argument could be made that unsung heroes Brian Carroll and Ben Olsen are the real heart of D.C. United.
