I'm not sure what it is about Taylor Twellman that annoys me. Perhaps he just strikes me as one of these well-off suburban soccer brats who got all the best coaches money could buy. Granted, I'm probably completely wrong about this, since his best coach may have been his dad Tim, who played for years in the NASL. His brother James also played in MLS.
That might make Taylor Twellman American soccer's answer to Peyton Manning -- except, of course, Peyton Manning can't do that. Eat your heart out, Obafemi Martins.
Twellman's goal was the only score the New England Revolution needed to beat the Chicago Fire and advance to the MLS Cup Finals. They await the winner of tonight's match between the Houston Dynamo and the Kansas City Wizards. The Revolution already won the U.S. Open Cup this year, so they could get themselves a Cup double, which would make Boston sports fans just that much more vainglorious.
Enjoy it while you can, Revs fans. Fulham is coming for your backline in January.

You should limit your comments to what you do know since you don't know anything about Twellman's coaches. Maybe it's bothersome because he's a white American instead of an overrated European or So. American player. Twellman annoys me too because he doesn't run enough, isn't very fast and is frequently offside because he's too lazy to get back onside quickly. He scores so many goals because he is in the right place at the right time, he is a pure goal scorer. Go Revs!

No, overrated European players annoy me, too. Don't ever get me started about Nicolas Anelka.
