Sporting Kansas City’s Graham Zusi named MLS Player of the Month (video)

Sporting Kansas City announced this morning that midfielder Graham Zusi was named MLS Player of the Month. It’s fitting because nearly every ball he touched in June turned into offensive momentum for the team, which has a seven-game unbeaten streak going.

Zusi notched two goals and three consecutive game-winning assists. That’s nice, but let’s face it: The real reason he won was the goal — from a free kick 45 yards out — in the video above from the club’s 4-1 thumping of FC Dallas. It’s one of those rare, sweet goals that makes the entire opposing team look like idiots. Awardworthy, indeed.
