Javi Mo=Player of the Week

After doubling his scoring tally from 2009 in game numero uno of 2010, Javier Morales had more good soccer karma come his way Monday in the form of Major League Soccer Player of the Week honors.

The 30 year-old Argentine was spectacular Saturday, scoring two goals and adding an assist as his team pummeled an overwhelmed San Jose squad. A lot was made of Javi's 2009 season, as his play fell off sharply from the year before.

The highlight of the performance, of course, was a 30-yard laser in the 14th minute that will be there at the end of the year for a Goal of the Year candidate. Javi will try for an encore Thursday night at Houston.
