More On :  Colorado Rapids, New York Red Bulls, Bouna Coundoul
In 2008, African players have become hot commodities. Sure, the Latino geniuses like Marcello Gallardo and Cuauhtemoc Blanco get the money and the press, but it’s this new crop of Africans, with their South African dances and cool accents, who are having a massive impact on the league this year.

You Goal.commers love one more than the others, though. Colorado goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul. Not a bad choice at all. After all, he’s the only player in MLS with a copyrighted tagline: Bouna Time!
