Fafa Picault had plenty of company in 2018 among players to hit double digits in goals, but one consistent feature of nearly all of those players is that they weren’t born in the United States.
The 27-year-old Picault, who was born in New York City but grew up in Miami, is one of just three players born in the U.S. to finish with 10 or more goals this season. That’s out of 40 players.
Picault was tied with San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski with 10 goals and second only to Columbus Crew forward Gyasi Zardes (fourth overall in the league with 19 goals) among players born in the states.
