My Greatest Game: USMNT 1-4 Brazil, by Herculez Gomez | ESPN FC

Former MLS, Liga MX and USMNT striker Herculez Gomez joins Sebastian Salazar to give his pick for ESPN FC’s “My Greatest Game” series. Gomez selects the United States’ 4-1 defeat vs. Brazil in a May 30, 2012 international friendly at FedEx Field. He reflects on how social media and public pressure helped to sway then-national team coach Jürgen Klinsmann into calling him up for the U.S. training camp squad, and how it felt being told he’d be playing alone up top against the five-time FIFA World Cup champions. Gomez then recounts the sequence that led to him scoring the USMNT’s only goal of the match, and how it felt to hold his own against the soon-to-be world’s most expensive defender at the time, Thiago Silva. Plus, he explains what it was like playing against the up-and-coming sensation that was Neymar.
