For the second straight week, we kick off the
RSL News Stand with MLSsoccer.com bestowing an award to the Claret-and-Cobalt …
last week it was the bittersweet Game of the Year award, but today’s Comeback
of the Year honor brings back much better memories – those of RSL keeping the
Rocky Mountain Cup on the better side of the Mountain Time Zone! In addition,
MLSsoccer.com beat writer Randy Davis takes one more look at RSL’s 2010
campaign by the numbers, Soccer America puts RSL at the top of MLS’s offseason
movers and shakers thus far, and FutbolMLS.com catches up with Javier Morales
down in Argentina (for you non-Spanish speakers, don’t worry … we’ll have the
translated version ready to go for tomorrow’s edition) …

In general MLS and soccer news, MLSsoccer.com
keeps track on the U.S. Youth National Teams before the Senior team announces
its January camp roster later today (supposedly), Goal.com thinks a Western
Conference rival is going “all-in” in 2011, and the whole “Beckham wanting a loan
so he can keep playing for England” situation comes up again (is this starting
to get a little “Favre-ian” to anyone besides us?). And we close out with
Bleacher Report wishing MLS a Happy Birthday … the League turned 17 years old
last Friday. What, no present? You at least sent them a card, didn’t you?
