Cunningham, Eskandarian Switch Places, Score Against Each Other

It doesn’t happen that two teams swap players, then face off against each other and have both players score against their old teams.  It happened earlier when Houston and Columbus made a trade and now it has happened again.  This time it was Jeff Cunningham scoring for his new team Toronto FC against Alecko Eskandarian and his new team Real Salt Lake.

Toronto FC got the better of this one today as they also got a goal from Collin Samuel when he took a PK in the 79th minute.  Cunningham also made it into the ref’s book getting a yellow card!

Jeff Cunningham Alecko Eskandarian Swap

Jeff Cunningham is headed to Toronto FC and in return Alecko Eskandarian is going to Real Salt Lake.  This is a surprising trade to me.  I can’t imagine why Real Salt Lake would give up Jeff Cunningham.  Alecko is a great player, but for my money I don’t think this is an even swap.  I’d rather have Cunningham on my team, but I guess I wouldn’t complain about Alecko, he does have a much more enjoyable name to say.

I can’t be long, gotta get on to some hockey tonite.  go Ducks.
