My Take

Chris Wondolowski is the kind of striker I instinctively root for. He didn't arrive via the elite pipeline; he grafted his way up and turned himself into one of MLS's deadliest finishers, topping the scoring charts in 2010 and 2012 and taking MVP honors in 2012. That trajectory, from low draft pick to league-defining goalscorer, is the stuff that makes the sport worth watching. His instinct in the box, sniffing out chances and converting them, looks innate rather than coached. I value the unflashy, blue-collar excellence he embodied, and that is exactly the type of forward I admire most.

Overview
