Who will win Spain's El Pichichi? It's the award given to La Liga's top goal scorer every year! Barca's Samuel Eto'o or Valencia's David Villa? Both are sitting on 25 goals. But Villa's season has ended while Eto'o still has one game left to play, against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

Funny that the one rendering of Red Bull Park says "Metrostars Stadium" on the side of the building...
I have a question-- for the best young player award-- are all players under a certain age nominated? Or do they think they already know who will be the best? Seems a little backwards to me.
here we go: best young player award for those born on or after the 1 January 1985
There appear to be 2 Arsenal bandwagons. It's really hard to be ambivalent about the Gunners, ain't it? :)
When did Eddie Johnson up and turn 22? Feels like just yesterday he was a teenager. Our team is surprisingly not very youthful. Well, Freddy Adu's not going to be up for the award in 2010 either as he'll be 21.
Looks like Brian McBride will just have to win the Golden Boot instead. Or, in his case, Golden Head.
By the way, Ricardo Virtuoso sounds like a rapper whose music is partially in Spanish. Wonder if Clint can cut a groove with him - even if the dude can't rap.
