Brad Evans’ stunning game-winner in the Crew’s victory over D.C. United last Sunday has been voted Sierra Mist Goal of the Week! Evans called it “a goal of a lifetime” and we tend to agree. Check it out below.

We’re checking in briefly with a few news and notes for your Monday afternoon perusal:

On the U.S. Men’s National Team front, head coach Bob Bradley has made two changes to his 18 man roster for Wenesday’s WC Qualifier against Trinidiad & Tobago in Port of Spain, Trinidad, both of which involve Crew midfielders. Robbie Rogers is currently recovering from a sore back after the physical match against Chicago yesterday, and has been replaced by Chris Rolfe for the match. Alternately, Brian Carroll recieved a late call-up for Wednesday’s match to replace the injured Pablo Mastroeni. BC departed early Monday morning and will join Crew teammate Frankie Hejduk and the rest of the USMNT later this evening in Trinidad.

Meanwhile, Eddie Gaven’s skillful volley from yesterday’s match vs. the Fire has been nominated for Sierra Mist Goal of the Week for Week 29. Gaven’s tally, which came in the 59th minute, was his third of the season, to go along with his two assists. Click here to view Eddie’s spectacular goal and register your vote!

UPDATE: Robbie’s goal won GOTW honors for Week 26. Thanks to everyone who logged on and voted!!

Crew midfielder Robbie Rogers scored a thrilling game-winner in the Crew’s 3-1 victory over New York last Thursday (Sept. 18), and his decisive goal has been nominated for Sierra Mist Goal of the Week honors for Week 26. Rogers’ screamer from 25+ yards out left New York goalkeeper Jon Conway with no chance, as the 2nd year midfielder earned his sixth tally of the season. Rogers now leads the Crew with three game-winning goals in 2008.

Check out Robbie’s game-winner below.

Forward Jason Garey scored his 2nd and 3rd goals of the 2008 MLS season in last Saturday’s 4-0 win over the Revolution. Jason subbed in for Steven Lenhart in the 66th minute of the match, and he wasted no time in making his presence felt as he scored a Sierra Mist Goal of the Week nominee just one minute later, thanks to Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s 18th assist of the year.
