Great US Soccer Photos

MLS hasn't been around long enough (or been popular enough) to have the kind of memorable photographs that other sports have. I'm talking about the kind that are familiar years later, that summarize everything you need to know in one single image. Like Brandi Chastain and the sports bra, the most famous soccer photo ever in the USA. MLS and the US national team have had some very, uh, interesting photos though. You all know the obvious ones like the original jerseys, MPF, and the NY Times shoot. I thought I would post some other great ones. Here's some of my favorites: Scary Landon Donovan Celebrating last year's MLS Cup championship. I know there's a bunch of "hottest US player" threads on Bigsoccer. Landon's name pops up sometimes, but this photo could be enough to change some female minds. Valderrama = Class Act I believe "dapper" is the word you're looking for. Tony Meola's Got Milk It's the expression on his face that makes this so bad. At least he didn't dress up in a Robin Hood outfit like Zola. Also, like the "Fat Tony" jokes need any more ammunition. 2005 Gold Cup Champions Now THAT'S a trophy! Very cool. This Stuff Kicks!! I'm glad that face painting isn't in vogue any more among MLS fans. Chuck Blazer Sez, "Aye! This One's on Me!" The American Blazer (FIFA and CONCACAF official) had his own blog during the World Cup, and it was a great read. Seems like a fun guy. Ching & DeRo A new classic. Gooch! Had to put my own spin on this one.
