Don't call it a comeback!



Zach Thornton has won the 2009 MLS Goal Keeper of the Year, his 2nd of his career (1998). I remember when Zach arrived to Chivas... I really didn't care for it, thought his days were numbered, and that he was washed up. What a year and what a comeback! I stand corrected and humbly acknowledge that you are the man. The beast is back!

What do you think of the winner, do you think he deserves it? Did you feel someone else should have received the award? Tough choice with Donovan Ricketts (LA Galaxy) and Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounders) as company... All I am saying is no one saw this! He truly surprised everyone and his numbers don't lie: 0.87 goals-against average, 12 shutouts and 23 goals in 27 games.
