Razov Closing in on Record

For all the hype around Major League Soccer regarding Jaime Moreno's quest to become the leading goal scorer in league history his record is likely to be very short lived. Moreno finally broke Jason Kreis all time scoring mark just over a month ago but now very quietly Ante Razov has closed to within one goal of Moreno's current mark of 110. Expect Razov to pass Moreno and become the all time leader by the end of the season. Razov was part of MLS Inaugural College Draft being selected by the Galaxy, but after several good seasons in Chicago he moved to Spain's Racing Ferrol for two seasons, thus has played in fewer MLS games than Jaime Moreno.

Razov's 109th goal of his MLS career, a beauty that lifted Chivas USA atop the Western Conference was one of the certain candidates for goal of the year. Chivas defeated Kansas City 2-1 with two Razov goals, the winner coming three minutes into stoppage time.

Moreno to Play Copa for Bolivia

Jaime Moreno will not become the MLS' all time leading scorer in the next month. That's because the DC United Forward who is tied with Jason Kreis for the league's all time scoring lead (with a 106 MLS goals) has been called up to Bolivia's Copa America team. Moreno had been discgarded by Bolivia in World Cup Qualifying for 2006 and last played in a major tournament for his nation in 2001. This is a big PR coup for MLS as many had speculated that Moreno had been dropped because of the perceived declining standard of the league in South American circles, following the retirements of well regarded South Americans, Carlos Valderrama, and Marco Etcheverry.
