Chris Pontius: MLS Player Of The Week

Although you'd never know it by visiting MLSsoccer.com (which now dedicates 98% of its coverage to the World Cup, wrongfully concluding that MLS fans don't care about MLS this month), Chris Pontius was unanimously selected as MLS's Player of The Week.

Sure it was a shortened week, with only four MLS matches on the calendar due to the Cup break, but Pontius definitely deserves the award.

But does he also deserve a hat trick?

According to the Associated Press, the third goal that was initially credited to Pontius will now be credited to Adam Cristman.

I’m pretty sure Christman got a touch before it crossed the line.

If not for Cristman

Keller may have stopped it. That’s got to be Cristman’s goal.

100% Cristman

I hate to take a hat trick from Pontius, but the ball didn’t go over the line until Cristman arrived to bundle it in. Without Cristman making the run, Keller keeps it (barely) out.

Definitely Cristman

+1 to Chest’s comment. No Cristman, no goal.

I believe even Pontius all but credited Cristman in an interview after the game.
