-Today's Blogosphere American Soccer Award from Climbing The Ladder is Defender of the Year.Here is who I voted for:1- Eddie Robinson - San Jose (finished 2nd in the voting)2- Ty Marshall - LA (finished 3rd in the voting)3- Brian Namoff - DC (finished 10th in the voting)I was surprised to see that no one voted for Chad Marshall, but being on a lousy team hurts. My sleeper defender of the year is Jay Heaps. I never notice him on the field except when he creeps into the offensive end (and he is very good in those situations), but no one ever seems to score from the left side against New England either. Heaps is doing something right. He got one vote.-Last nights Carling Cup matches turned a few surprises:Chelsea 1-1 Charlton (4-5 on PK's) - Huth gives up horrible back pass for Charlton goal, then has his PK saved.Man United 4-1 Barnet - Giovanni Rossi scored again for Man U, who had Tim Howard in goal.Grimsby Town 0-1 Newcastle - Shearer scored, and got a busted lip on a flagrant elbow that was not called.Bolt
