UPDATE: We're fairly sure we've discovered how Oba plans to arrive at The ESPYS. If you were looking for yet another reason why Seattle Sounders No. 9 is deserving of your vote, look no further:
Since joining the Sounders as a DP in 2013, Obafemi Martins has captured the attention of soccer supporters across the globe.
Whether it’s because of his uncanny ability to spot the perfect opportunities to score, his remarkable partnership with fellow forward Clint Dempsey or those oh-so-wonderful ObaFlips that we’ve all come to love, he continues to be a fan favorite far and wide. Martins recently was nominated for yet another award: Best MLS Player at the 2015 ESPYS.
Martins is going head-to-head with Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution), Bradley Wright-Phillips (New York Red Bulls) and Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy) in the category. Best part of this award? It’s voted by you, the fans! Head on over to ESPN.com now to push Mr. Martins ahead in the poll. Voting ends on July 15.
