Houston Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley retired this weekend. He was the team captain, totaled hundreds of games played and became a legend of not just the Texan club but the entirety of U.S. soccer.
In MLS, he appeared in 124 games with the Dynamo. He was on the pitch when the team reached the Western Conference championship in 2017. He was captain when they won the U.S. Open Cup in 2017.
Yet his legend in the sport extends internationally. He appeared on the U.S. Men’s National Team roster in World Cup years 2002, 2006, 2012 and 2014.
