The 2017 MLS All-Star Game, presented by Target, is just around the corner, and perhaps there is no one more deserving to be named to the team than Oguchi Onyewu.
Due to injuries, Onyewu missed two full years of soccer. He didn't play a single game. But then he got a trial with the Union, who signed him to be a veteran presence on the backline, and he has surpassed all expectations.
In the 2017 season, Onyewu has started 13 games for the Union, all at center back, and he's been an imposing figure on the defense.
