    Going to say Vasquez, Pozuelo, Bradley, Giovinco, & Cheyrou. Was tempted to toss in Guevara.

    Seba's passing was beautiful, what a touch. Really opened things up for Jozy.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

    Jozy Altidore is on this list. So is Oso.

    For me, based on body of work, I have to put Giovinco as #1, with Vasquez as #2. After that, though, I'm not sure how many I think are better purely due to recency bias but it's some order of Guevara, Frings, Oso, Bradley, Cheyrou, and Pozuelo. The next tier after that is where I would put Altidore, Delgado, DeGuzman, and Fraser.

    Would be interesting trying to ascertain the "assist of the year" for all those years.

    VV and Seba, and then its wide open. Oso deserves a shot as does Jozy - his passes can be sublime. Bradley, Poz, Cheyrou, Amada. I'd put Q on the list too.
