Soccer All-Star voting continues on Twitter

On Monday, Major League Soccer released the latest results from fan voting for the 2014 MLS All-Star Game in Portland, Oregon.

Seven Sporting KC players are among the leaders at their positions. Captain Matt Besler is the leading vote getter among defenders, while his centerback partner Aurelien Collin is third and left back Seth Sinovic is sixth. Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber are the fourth and sixth-ranked midfielders, and goalkeeper Eric Kronberg ranks third. MLS joint-leading scorer Dom Dwyer is sixth among forwards.

Online voting will continue through July 11. Votes will also be tallied through Twitter starting July 2 and lasting until Sunday, July 6.

An eligible vote consists of the hashtag #MLSAllStar and the player’s full name or twitter handle. Users may only vote for players on the All-Star ballot.

The All-Star Fan XI-one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards-will be revealed on July 16.

The 2014 MLS All-Star game is set for Aug. 6 featuring German champions Bayern Munich at Portland’s Providence Park.
