September Awards Wrapup

So I wanted to do something to wrap up each set of matchdays. I had a few ideas but kept coming back to one. I attempted to think of ways to personalize it but it's just done so well by the original author I'm going to use his format for my blog.

So presenting the September 2011 World Cup Qualifying Awards in the style of Yahoo! Sports Tom Dienhart. Link below if you're curious to see his version of it for college football (please click the link, it won't bite and hopefully Yahoo won't in turn take issue with me doing this)
