The nominations are in for the male US Soccer Player of the Year award, and it is an interesting line-up for sure. There are five contenders, and only one winner of course, with the award stretching back to 1984. Landon Donovan is the current record-holder with four wins to his name, his most recent came in 2010.
This years field features current Premier League players in goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defender DeAndre Yedlin; as well as MLS stars Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley. Rounding off the list is Bundesliga-based defender Fabian Johnson. This is a very competitive field in a mixed year for the US side.
