Newcomer Emilio Makes Strong Case for MVP
   posted 11:32 am Thu October 18, 2007 - Washington
D.C. United's Luciano Emilio is making a strong case to be Major League Soccer's MVP.

In the locker room, he butchers the lyrics to pop songs. On the field, he has the league's first 20-goal season in five years. At his introductory news conference in January, the Brazilian forward set two ambitious goals: Win a championship and win the goal-scoring title.

United is riding a 13-game unbeaten streak and will enter the playoffs with the best record in the league, and Emilio's 20 goals put him one ahead of New York's Juan Pablo Angel going into the final days of the regular season.
