Hello soccer fans! Welcome back to another episode of The Sons of a Pitch: An American Soccer Podcast. In this episode, Nick and Mike cast their votes for Major League Soccer's 2019 All-Star Game. Here are their picks, which they've based on production, who they like to watch, and who deserves more recognition:
Goalkeeper
Sean Johnson (NYCFC)
Honorable mention
Brad Guzan (Atlanta)
Defenders
Walker Zimmerman (LAFC)
Matt Hedges (Dallas)
Romain Metanire (Minnesota)
Honorable Mention
Ali Adnan (Vancouver)
Auston Trusty and Jack Elliot (Philly)
Midfielders
Alejandro Pozuelo (Toronto)
Nani (Orlando)
Nico Lodeiro (Seattle)
Eduard Atuesta (LAFC)
Honorable Mentions
Cristan Roldan (Seattle)
Jona dos Santos (LA)
Forwards
Carlos Vela (LAFC)
Josef Martinez (Atlanta)
Mauro Manotas (Houston)
Honorable Mentions
Johnny Russell (Sporting KC)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (LA)
Coach
Jim Curtain (Philly)
Honorable Mention - Bob Bradley (LAFC)
After another week's worth of MLS action, here are the trends from around the league:
Teams on the Rise
San Jose - Wondo now has 6 goals in 2 games, and the Quakes are just 1 point below the playoff line.
Portland - Despite the lack of home games, the Timbers have slowly crept up the standings. New DP signing Fernandez has wasted no time in padding the score sheet.
Colorado - Time to show some love to the Rapids! After a historically bad start, Colorado has 2 straight wins.
Teams on the Fall
Columbus - Nothing is working for the Crew. Time to blow it all up and start fresh the way manager Caleb Porter wants.
Toronto - The Reds have no scoring threat, and the defense has been spotty. Bono has relinquished starting duties.
Montreal - In the month of May, the Impact have 3 losses, 1 win, and 1 draw.
