Does anyone actually rate Russell over Richter?
I think RR is smarter, as or more skilled and a harder worker.
I figure RB is his to lose.
Thoughts? Is it just me and my love for a good work rate?

WE DID IT!
I don't mind either of them. Richter is young and has shown glimpses of very good tackling. Russel is loved by all his old clubs fans', and I don't think we've seen the best of him. He made one "error" with that header, but otherwise I think he's been ok. Eckersley is better than both, tho. Both are fine depth MLS players.
Richter is a good tackler when he has his man on the chase or in slightly compromised position because he is very aggressive. But his straight up 1v1 defending is generally sort of poor, constantly overplaying his man. So I wouldn't call him and his lack of experience "smarter". His work rate and pace is appealing. Apples and oranges, hopefully Ecks is ready before long.
Ashtone Morgan is better than those two at right back. Thats just my 2 cents.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Beat me to it.
I think Morgan doesn't like Nelsen or Payne
About 15 mins after the game last night his first tweet in a while : #beleaf
He NEVER says anything about the leafs.
I wish him the best, I bet in MTL or VAN he may do well.
We KNOW he can do a LOT better. Maybe the fit just isn't there with coach & Payne
Morgan is a real disappointment this year, he has regressed. Would be a shame to see him go. If he goes I hope he stays in Canada.
