The San Jose Earthquakes may have had an up-and-down season, but that didn’t stop goalkeeper David Bingham from having an unwaveringly consistent year in goal. Bingham, who turned 27 in late October, quickly rose from Jon Busch’s backup to starter to U.S. National Team call-up to Major League Soccer All-Star in less than two years’ time.
Among all net-minders in Major League Soccer, Bingham was one of just three to start each and every one of the 34 regular season games – joining Joe Bendik of Orlando City SC and Luis Robles of the New York Red Bulls.
