One of the biggest surprises of the young MLS season has been the play of the San Jose Earthquakes, who moved into a tie for first place in the Western Conference with their recent 1-0 win against the Seattle Sounders.
San Jose's impressive 3-1 start has been due in part to the standout performances of a handful of players who have played some of the best soccer in the league, a reason why the Earthquakes boast a league-high three selections on SBI's MLS Best XI for March.
Chris Wondolowski, Victor Bernardez and Sam Cronin all made the cut as our picks among the league's best in March. Unbeaten Sporting KC boast two selections while 3-1 Real Salt Lake also have two players on the squad.
Here is SBI's MLS Best XI of the Month of March:
