Kasey Keller’s last regular season home game
So Kasey Keller is retiring after this season :(
He is one of the greatest keepers we’ve ever seen, there is no doubt about that. But instead of showing of his complete awesome-ness in goal, I wanted to find a video of a goal he gave up to Mexico sometime in the 90’s. I remember seeing the goal on TV when it happened, but I don’t remember exactly what year or competition it was in.
It was probably a back pass to Keller that was being chased by Luis Hernandez. Keller smacked the ball directly into the oncoming Mexican striker’s head which went straight into the goal.
I searched a little bit for the video but maybe my memory is not working right. I know it was USA vs. Mexico, I’m pretty sure it was Keller, and it might not have been Hernandez. But anyway….
In the 1998 Gold Cup semi-final the US beat Brazil 1-0. According to Wikipedia, Brazilian legend Romario said “That is the best performance by a goalkeeper I have ever seen” about Keller’s game in that shutout. Keller was the MVP of that tournament even though the US went on to lose to Mexico in the final. A song was written about Keller’s performance in that game. So that is what you are left with here because I couldn’t find the goofy goal he gave up sometime in the 90’s.

I was supposed to be at the game tonight in Seattle but due to shit I couldn’t control, I’m stuck at home. It is going to be a special time in Seattle. They expect over 60,000 in attendance!
If you can think of the goal I was trying to find, leave a comment and let me know what game that happened in.
