Midseason Awards, USL World Cup Status, Focus on Charleston & the Numbers Defining Each Team

It’s the midseason break in the USL Championship, so we’re handing out our **Midseason Awards** and making the case for the standout goalkeeper, defender, coach, young player, and MVP so far. We also check in **USL World Cup status** with the latest on who’s headed to the tournament and what it means for their clubs. Then the focus shifts to **Charleston Battery**, who look like they’ve rebuilt their attack on the fly and the numbers (and a statement win) suggest they’re turning into a real contender again. We wrap up with a **defining number for every team** at the halfway point and what it reveals about where the second half of the season might be headed.
