With the end of the MLS regular season comes awards for the season's best players, and this week a trio of MLSsoccer.com regulars took a stab at picking their Best XI of 2020.


There were clearly more than 11 players worthy of a spot, but there were a few the trio of Susannah Collins, Matt Doyle, and Calen Carr were locked in on: Nashville SC's Walker ZImmerman, Portland Timbers' Diego Chara, Toronto FC's Alejandro Pozuelo, and LAFC's Diego Rossi. There was appreciation, too, for Supporters' Shield winners Philadelphia Union and one of the West's best in the Seattle Sounders, with multiple players getting recognition on the podcast.
