Co-host of MLSSoccer.com’s This Week in MLS and former Major League Soccer player Calen Carr has some heavy praise for Seattle Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro.
Carr believes the Uruguayan Designated Player should win MLS Newcomer of the Year, despite having only played in 10 matches this season after arriving from Boca Juniors in late July. Lodeiro has led the Sounders to an improbable 7-1-3 record (he was suspended for the Sounders’ last match because of a yellow-card suspension) and a near-lock for the 2016 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, all while scoring three goals and recording eight assists.
