PositionForward

After a glittering College career at the University of South Carolina Clint Mathis was drafted by the LA Galaxy in 1998. He became the youngest ever international for the USA when he made his debut in November 1998 aged 21 against Australia. His career was seriously curtailed by a serious knee injury in 2001 but he has recovered in time for the Finals. He is employed at club level at a centre forward but is used in an attacking midfielder by the national team where his vision and powerful shot make him a dangerous customer.

Clint gave USA the lead in their 1-1 draw with South Korea in the Group D in Daegu.
