Association football: The sentence was confusing ← Previous revision Revision as of 08:17, 13 June 2008 Line 14: Line 14: In [[football (soccer)|association football]], each team's goalkeeper defends his team's goal and has special privileges within the game.

He led the voting ahead of the Houston Dynamo’s Pat Onstad and the New England Revolution’s Matt Reis. “It’s an honor to have been chosen Panasonic Goalkeeper of the Year,” said Guzan. “I want to thank my parents, my coaches and Chivas USA’s passionate fans for their support.

Major League Soccer today named Chivas USA's Brad Guzan as its goalkeeper of the year. The Illinois native and former South Carolina Gamecock anchored a defense that allowed just 28 goals this season, the second-best mark in MLS (Houston Dynamo was best, with 23 goals allowed).

Guzan was for me the most impressive goalkeeper in the league this year. He's only 23 and could be on to great things. Unfortunately for him, there is a lot of competition at this position on the U.S. men's national team.Separately, the league also anointed New England Revolution defender Michael Parkhurst as its winner of the MLS Fair Play award. This one contradicts what Soccer Source readers were saying via the polls. Over 80% of you voted for Cobi Jones, perhaps wishing to send him into retirement with this well-deserved
