SAN JOSE, Calif. -- When San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper was named to the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game 26-man roster back on July 17, a lot of league followers scratched their heads. Where was Real Salt Lake's sensation stopper Nick Rimando? Why not new Colorado Rapids 'keeper and U.S. international Tim Howard? How about last season's MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Luis Robles of the New York Red Bulls? After all, Bingham is playing for a team mired below the cut-off line to make the MLS Cup playoffs.
"First off, I wouldn't have selected him if I didn't think he deserved it," said MLS All-Star and Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear.
