90min will present the Smart Choices awards series celebrating the best players and managers in Major League Soccer for the first time.
In partnership with Continental Tires, Smart Choices will be a five-part series. Editorial pieces will focus on a specific award for certain players based on exceptional performances and moments that have defined the MLS regular season.
Here is the award calendar:
The Major League Soccer regular season ended on Oct. 19 on Decision Day and history was made in the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami, after finishing the Penyes Shield, made history by setting the new record for points in a season with 74. In addition, Lionel Messi became the top scorer in the club’s history.
In the Western Conference, Houston Dynamo’s late heroics against the LA Galaxy resulted in LAFC ending up with the number one seed. The two Los Angeles teams were tied on points, but LAFC edged out their top-seeded rival on goal difference.
Stay tuned for smart picks all week as we celebrate the best of MLS.
