Sporting Kansas City brought home one more award for their 2015 MLS season. Fan voting for MLS' goal of the year finished this week and today the winner was announced. In the final were two superb individual efforts by Sporting KC's Krisztian Nemeth and Toronto's Sebastian Giovinco. Both dribbled through a number of players before finishing nicely into the far corner. KC's Nemeth though was the top vote getter and won though.
And watching this goal will never get old, nor will the celebration on the bench.

More Year End Awards
Two more Wizards are up for year end awards. Kei Kamara's goal against the Philadelphia Union is up for goal of the year. And goalkeeper, Jimmy Nielsen is up for save of the year, with 6 nominees. I'd stopped posting when players were up for the weekly award due to the nature of the voting. It became an exercise in futility as fans of New York, Seattle, and others set up voting bots that flood the system. But for those that want to vote they can. All the goals and saves are below.

Award Finalists
The Wizards had 4 goals up for Goal of the Year, and 2 of those goals have made it to the final 10, one from each Davy Arnaud and Claudio Lopez. Arnaud's goal is his blast from the first game of the season against Toronto. Lopez's goal is his shot from midfield that looped in over Donovan Ricketts. Check out all the nominees below.
Kevin Hartman had 3 saves up for Save of the Year, 1 of those saves has made it to the final 10 for Save of the Year. Hartman's save is his save in the final week of the season against DC United when he got caught going the wrong direction and made it back across the goal in time to tip Ben Olsen's shot over the net. Check out all the saves below.

Goal and Save of the Year
Year end award nominees are coming out, and while no Wizards players are up the big awards, 3 Wizards are nominated for 2 awards.
Davy Arnaud and Claudio Lopez are both up twice for goal of the year. Arnaud's first blast against Toronto on the opening week of the season is one of his two nominated goals. His other is his give and go play with Lopez in the team's 3-1 win over New England in June. Lopez's first goal is his free kick in KC's 1-1 draw with Chivas USA. The other goal is his midfield shot in KC's 1-1 draw with LA in KC. Arnaud's first goal is my favorite of those 4, but not my favorite overall, that's likely Clint Mathis' volley. Check out all the nominees in the video below.
Kevin Hartman is also nonminated for an award, as he has 3 saves up for Save of the Year this year. The first is Hartman's stop on Eddie Gaven's breakaway in KC's 3-2 loss in Columbus in May. The second is Hartman's flying save on Chris Klein's shot on KC's 1-1 draw in LA. The final save is Hartman's save on Ben Olsen in the final week of the season when he made it back across the goal after going to his right to try and save a shot that ended up getting blocked. I liked both the second and the third save, but the second is probably my favorite of his 3 and probably my favorite overall. Check out all the saves in the video below.

Wizards Up for End of Season Awards
Four Wizards are up for End of the Year awards from MLS.
First, the Wizards have two goals up for the MLS Goal of the Year. The first nominee is Davy Arnaud's long range blast against the LA Galaxy at Arrowhead stadium. The other nominee is Josh Wolff's bicycle kick against Chivas USA a few weeks later. You can vote for either, or both goals here.
Once again, Wizards defender and captain, Jimmy Conrad is up for the Defender of the Year award. Conrad is up against Chad Marshall and Bakary Soumare. Conrad finished the season wtih 6 goals and played every minute of every game this season for the Wizards.
The other Wizard up for a year end award is Claudio Lopez, who is up for Newcomer of the Year. Lopez finished the season with 6 goals and 7 assists this season for the Wizards, and is up against Darren Huckerby and Andre Rocha. Lopez's chances at this award appear to be lower than Conrad winning his. Huckerby was huge for San Jose this year.
