Akindele honored to be ROY | FCDallas.com
Tesho is such a humble kid, one of the many reasons why I've enjoyed watching him this year. It is also crazy to think that Oscar Pareja has coached two straight rookie of the year winners.

NYCFC reveal away kit for 2015 | MLSSoccer.com
While the home kit spoke solely of their Man City owners, this road kit is more like it. Black with shades of orange and light blue. This one is rather nice. I just hope they are forced to wear it on the road in the summer in places like Texas.
