He is a great influence. Not very many people probably know this, but 10 minutes before he made the goal, he got a concussion, and almost got taken out of the game. tThe sad thing is, he doesn't remember any of it. The only way he knows he even made that goal, is because he was told about it later. He went for what he wated, and look where he is now. I'm sure considering he has nearly 130 caps, and was on the worlds team, I'm going to bet he knows WAY more than you do.
sweet and awesome goal! and iam a tall target player for plays stricker for his team and he likes to move and pass the ball forward then score not kick it over the defenders to small kids?
crazy that he says he doesn't even remember scoring the goal... apparently he got a bang on the head earlier in the match which resulted in concussion. He said he gave pyshio a right rollickin so they left him on
@N1CisSIC . YOUR JUST SAD BECAUSE YOUR TEAM KEEPS LOSING TO MARCELLO'S TEAM. I have played their team and hes a great coach. He runs soccer camps for kids of all ages and hes amazing and his team is great. P.S. in highschool, his kids might not be the fastest, but they will be very skilled.
@cssoccer8 We never lost listen to what I said moron. his highschool teams maybe good but the teams we played never had any skill. It was a kick it and run type of team.
@N1CisSIC oh trust me, I live in the same town he lives and I know his son. My soccer coach has coached with him and I have played soccer for 7 years.
Coming from someone who plays in the UK, I'm telling you that's how basic football is played. Need a top side to play a different way. I'm gonna say a man with professional experience knows more than you.
@N1CisSIC He is an amazing coach. He has come to m y school to talk before, and I can't say enough good things about him. Some people may get agressive in the game, but he's a really nice guy in person. Just because he was a jerk the times you played him in soccer, doesn't mean you need to judge him. And by the way, THAT IS THE POINT OF DEFENSE. DEFENSE DOESN'T KICK THE GOALS. It's not his job to get it in the net. Don't get mad at me for simply telling you the truth.
whats very amazing is that his dad is coaching me he is the head coach for my soccer club and gid dam is it crazy but marcelo isone of the greatest players ever to live
balboa was the biggest bad ass in rapids history. when the rapids had him you could always expect great things.
I also hate how people bash the mls, for a league that is just 15 years old it has a great history, and i think it is just a matter of time intell the MLS could compete with the BPL.
@goal2127 Errr, nobody in their right mind wants to go and play in the MLS, only players who are past their prime or Americans, all the world-class players go to the PL, the Bundesliga, La Liga or Serie A.
this is why when MLS began, marcelo balboa was one of the faces of the league. he, along with the likes of carlos valderrama,marco etcheverry,jaime moreno,brian mcbride,cobi jones,tony meola,zach thornton,jason kreis,roy lassiter,carlos ruiz,taylor twellman and landon donovan will be remembered as some of the building blocks to the MLS. i,ve watched it since it's infancy in 1996 and while i,m dissapointed miami and tampa bay lost there teams, i,m so happy the league is expanding and growing.
So true. I was a Tampa Bay Mutiny fan from 96' onward, but when they dropped I became a Colorado Rapids fan, and now that my home town finally has the Seattle Sounders FC, I can actually make the trip to games :D
He did a legendary bicycle kick well it nearly scored in USA 1994 against hot favourites Colombia. What a scorcher. If you haven't seen it it looks really good, until you realise it didn't get in but still worth watching for the photo moment, of the States being set alight by their team's great performance at the World Cup.
if u see him say hello from me men tell him samy iwas with him in sueno mls 2009 final his really good guy ihave big respect for him ilearn alot balboa the best guy
Marcelo Balboa is rare in the respect that he is one of the few Americans that are respected in Soccer. Certainly there are great American players and aficianados but Marcelo has the right spirit for the game... Also that goal is f&*in AMAZING!!!
the funny thing is, thats my dad...
