Faryd Mondragon Set To Leave Koeln For Philadelphia Union - Report - Goal.comThe Sons of Ben, who have been around longer than the team they support, collected food and money last weekend. At their year-end supporters’ event, the group estimated that it had raised more than $10,000 and 300 pounds of food as part of their Help Kick Hunger charity drive.
Vito: Union's Sons of Ben fans strike up cheer for charityAll Le Toux did was score 14 goals and dish out 11 assists, meaning that he had a foot in 25 of the Union’s 31 goals. Repeat, 25 of 31 goals. And the combined numbers make him the No. 1 overall scorer in the league. If there is a more apt definition of most valuable we have yet to see it in a dictionary. But there is more: Le Toux, tall and rangy, is a tireless runner with incredible stamina. He now holds a green card and has even expressed an interest in perhaps one day playing internationally for the United States. Are you listening, Bob Bradley?
Le Toux Is Most Valuable, but He's Not on the List - NYTimes.comNot only did Le Toux beat out an A-list of MLS superstars to become the most prolific offensive player in the league, but he did so in record-breaking fashion. The previous MLS record for a single player’s percentage involvement in his club’s goal was 61.1 percent, set in 1999 when current Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis accumulated 18 goals and 15 assists out of 54 total goals. The record now belongs to Le Toux, and his 71.4 percent won’t be an easy mark to break.
