MLS Aces Week 26 USL Team of the Week
I know that there is a huge population of USL Championship fans out there. I am not one of them, BUT, I do have a ton of interest in growing my fandom of the league. So here is my best attempt at the MLS Aces Week 26 USL Team of the Week. A lot of big names from around the USL Championship showed up this week especially up top. Phoenix’s forwards in Adam Jahn and Solomon Asante stepped up huge combing for 5 goals and 2 assists in 2 games. Along with a few youngsters in the midfield with Shandon Hopeau and Carlos Anguiano, and experience on the backline with Joe Greenspan and Patty Barrett… this week was a fun first week to put this team together.
