Alex Nimo

If there was any bright spots for RSL last night, it was Alex Nimo. He did quite well last night. He is a crafty, tough, quick player that looked more comfortable than most of the new RSL faces that were on the field last night. He had some great skills and some dangerous crosses (which RSL needs to be sending in to Dr. Goals to get him back on track) throughout the game. Even though he was by far the smallest guy on the field, he held his own physically too! Back when Freddy Adu was around, he'd fall over from the breeze if someone ran too close to him. Alex Nimo would fight for every 50/50 ball, stand his ground when people twice his size would be battling for a header... he did great. He uses his size to his advantage too. His defender lost him on the corner that he scored cause he couldn't see him! Alex has been in the 18 a few times this year for regular season games, and after a performance like last night he probably has earned an opportunity to make an appearance in a regular season MLS match.
