San Jose Earthquakes 2020 player postmortem: Chris Wondolowski

2020 was the first season in over a decade in which Chris Wondolowski scored fewer than 10 goals. And yet, I think it’s safe to say the season was a real triumph for him.

Once again, Wondo started the season as a bench option for Matias Almeyda, the icon announcing this would be his final season as a player, and to an extent, the head coach looking to limit the veteran’s minutes. While it had been jarring at first to see Wondo on the bench going back a couple years, it’s not altogether smart to have him play 90 minutes every time out.
