  • Fantasy Pro: Grading the hometown superstars

    Real Madrid’s 3-0 defeat of D.C. United on Sunday has officially closed the book on this summer’s run of international friendlies. From the MLS All-Stars’ loss to Everton to the L.A.

  • Survivor Pro: Hard work pays off for Crew

    This week, all-world striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid get set to tackle Toronto FC at BMO Field. On paper, this looks like a mismatch -- and it will be.

  • Survivor Pro: Rapids find balance

    Here's a challenge for you: Without looking, name the top goal-scorer for the Western Conference leading Colorado Rapids (3-3-0), a team that has scored 10 times in six games. Cue the Jeopardy music. A logical guess would be midfielder Christian Gomez, a former league MVP whom the Rapids acquired in the offseason from D.C. United. ...

So in the spirit of ''do as I say, not as I do,'' here's the one player on each team that if you've got, you need to dump. Note that this list ignores bench warmers and other dudes ...
