With eight yellow cards apiece through July 20, Diego Chara and Jack Price lead MLS in yellow cards. And yet, they’re still winning performance awards. That’s eight yellows apiece with plenty of the season left. And the fans and coaches wouldn’t part with these players for any reason.
Midfielders Chara, Portland Timbers, and Price, Colorado Rapids, play so well they’re respected throughout the league, that’s even while leading in yellow cards. And they’re so valuable they’ve both won Team of The Week honors in the first half of the 2018 season.
