My end of season awards

Following the last game of the MLS season, which will be Seattle Sounders hosting Los Angeles Galaxy on October 27 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, which can be seen on ESPN, (I'm hoping to get a bit of dough from that; fingers crossed!), I will be saying a shortlist of award candidates- 3 for each award.  The awards, and ways to qualify, are as such:
