My soccer Hero... Cobi Jones

Cobi Jones has announced he will retire at the end of the 2007 season.
When i was a kid playing soccer, Cobi Jones was the player i looked up to, and wanted to be.
An outstading player and person, who started his career as a walk on for the top program UCLA, then led them to a national championship 2 years later.
Cobi would then go on to make the national team, playing in 3 world cups. Going on to become Team Usas most capped player, and assist leader in between.
After a stint w/ coventry in the premiershiop, and some time in brazil, he was the 2nd player chosen by the smelLA Galaxy when the league was created. He has gone on to win 2 mls cups, a CONCACAF Champions' Cup, a 2 U.S. Open Cups in 12 years with the green and yellow. Getting national team players to join the brand new MLS was needed to give the league enough credentials to find investors, and Cobi heeded the call.

Cobi Jones is American soccer, and i would like to say thanks for all hes done, and will do. I cant wait to see cobi and becks on the same field, in the same uniform, and im sure that this season wont be the last we hear from Cobi Jones.
