My Take
Alexi Lalas is, to me, a genuine pioneer of American soccer's modern era. Born in Birmingham, Michigan in 1970, the towering centre-back with the unmistakable red beard and long hair became the breakout face of the 1994 World Cup on home soil, when the sport was still finding its footing in the States. What I love is that he never fit one mold: defender, musician, and later one of the most outspoken voices in soccer broadcasting. He helped make the game visible to a generation of Americans. Love him or argue with him, he gave U.S. soccer a personality when it badly needed one.
