Earlier this month, MLSsoccer.com senior producer and Kansas native Andrew Wiebe tabbed Sporting Kansas City as a darkhorse candidate to win the MLS is Back Tournament, which will begin next Wednesday, July 8, at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
This afternoon, Wiebe picked his top five MLS is Back Tournament MVP contenders. Yet again, he has representation from Sporting, as striker Alan Pulido made the list of frontrunners alongside LAFC star and fellow Mexican Carlos Vela, Alejandro Pozuelo of Toronto FC, Raul Ruidiaz of Seattle Sounders FC and Pity Martinez of Atlanta United FC.
