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.

And if not for Keller, Keller may have stopped Pontius's second goal

Saddest part for me was when the World Cup announcers talked about Green's gaff
It was basically Keller’s gaff

Yeah, I was pretty shocked to see two such similar goals in such a short span
Both working, incredibly, in favor of the team I supported. I never get that lucky in my fandom!

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.
