You’re on social media, we’re on social media, and, of course, the players are on social media. They’re also doing a really good job on it.
With that in mind, MLSsoccer.com has launched the #MLSSoshies, a year-end extravaganza recognizing exceptional performance on social media.
And now, fans, we need you to help hunt down the best social posts of the season from players, and tell us who are the best MLS athletes overall on social media. Your nominations will be narrowed down by the MLSsoccer.com editorial and social media team, and then you get to decide who goes home with each coveted award.
Using the hashtag #MLSSoshies fans can nominate players in five categories:
1) Most Social Player
Whether they’re on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, MySpace or all of the above, they’re just killin’ it. They’re experts with apps, filters, RTs, and are always up for sharing socially.
2) Let Me Take a #Selfie (best selfie by MLS Player)
Extend the arm. Get the look. Snap a pic. These guys are pros at the art of self-capture.
3) The Bigger Picture (best photography by MLS Player: off the field, geography, etc.)
There’s a whole wide world outside of soccer (we know, gasp!) and these players are capturing life beyond the pitch in the most unique ways.
4) Family Matters (best photo/post with family or pets)
Whether it's their wife, partner, kids, or pets, these players know that family is important, and they capture those quirky, cute, and downright lovable special moments with expertise.
5) #BFFs (best post including/featuring multiple players)
Like a buddy-cop movie, they’ve got a partner that always shows up at the right place and the right time (when the camera clicks, obviously). Perfect pairs. Troublesome trios. Let the shenanigans ensue.
Nominations will run through Friday, November 27. The finalists and brackets (yep, more brackets) will be revealed following MLS Cup in December.
Need some help finding which Whitecaps FC posts to nominate? We’ve got you covered.

That's what happens when we win 2 straight games on the road and going back to Vancouver with 6 points #LetsGoCapspic.twitter.com/3looKDHtzj
