Captain Matt Hedges has been the most consistent player for FC Dallas for the better part of the last half decade. For three consecutive seasons, he’s been named FC Dallas’ defender of the year, captained his side to the Open Cup and Supporter’s Shield victories, named MLS’ 2016 Defender of the Year and is currently carrying his club through an undefeated start to the 2017 campaign. Not to mention, he’s also anchoring the defense to a shut out success rate of 50% of league games played so far.
So what’s the deal? Why is that on paper is Matt Hedges so good yet cannot get a look with the USMNT?
