With such national soccer stars as Cobi Jones, Brad Friedel, Paul Caligiuri and Frankie Hejduk having once donned a UCLA uniform, it has become obvious that UCLA Soccer breeds national and international caliber players. Past and current UCLA players have made more than 2,000 appearances for various U.S. National Teams.

UCLA’s influence on U.S. World Cup teams is most notable. In all, 12 Bruins have participated in the last five World Cups. Three of those players — Friedel, Jones and Joe-Max Moore — have participated in three World Cups apiece, and Jones set a U.S. record for career World Cup appearances with 11.

UCLA had a nation’s-best four players named to the 2006 U.S. World Cup Team - two-time World Cupper Eddie Lewis, three-time team member Frankie Hejduk and World Cup rookies Carlos Bocanegra and Jimmy Conrad. An injury took Hejduk out of the World Cup a day after being selected to the team, but the other three Bruins played and even started alongside each other in the United States’ final game.

A collegiate-best five former UCLA players were on the historic 2002 World Cup team - Friedel, Hejduk, Jones, Lewis and Moore. All five played major roles in the United States’ best World Cup showing in 72 years, as the U.S. advanced all the way to the quarterfinals and won an elimination game for the first time in World Cup history. Friedel emerged as one of the top goalkeepers in the world, shutting out Mexico in the second round and twice earning Man of the Match honors in the first round of play. In his first World Cup start, Lewis contributed an assist in the win over Mexico. Friedel, Jones, Moore and Hejduk also started for the U.S. team at the 1998 World Cup.

Five former Bruins captured the country’s attention as part of the 1994 U.S. World Cup team which advanced to the second round for the first time in World Cup his-tory. Caligiuri started in all four games for the U.S., and Jones appeared in four with one start. Other former Bruins on the team were Friedel, Moore, Mike Lapper and assistant coach Sigi Schmid. In the first round of the 1994 World Cup, the U.S. team tied Switzerland 1-1 then upset Colombia 2-1 at the Rose Bowl in what was then the biggest win in U.S. soccer history.

In 1989, Caligiuri, who made over 100 international appearances for Team USA, became one of the United States’ most famous players after scoring the historic goal in the CONCACAF qualifying round. His 35-yard dipping volley gave the U.S. a 1-0 victory over Trinidad & Tobago and placed the U.S. in the 1990 World Cup for the first time since 1950. At the 1990 World Cup, he started all three of the U.S. team’s games and scored the country’s first World Cup goal in 40 years.

48 2008 UCLA Men's Soccer

Once again proving it is one of the top producers of soccer talent, UCLA had a league-high 21 former athletes on Major League Soccer (MLS) rosters in 2008.

Overall, 50 Bruins have played in MLS in the league’s 12 years of existence, more than any other school in the nation by far. Every starting UCLA goalkeeper from 1990-2003 played in the league. Some of the most successful MLS players came from UCLA, including 2006 MLS Rookie of the Year Jonathan Bornstein, 2005 Defender of the Year Jimmy Conrad, two-time Defender of the Year and 2000 Rookie of the Year Carlos Bocanegra, 1999 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Kevin Hartman, and 1997 Goalkeeper of the Year Brad Friedel.

Fifteen former Bruins have won MLS titles - Patrick Ianni and Zach Wells with the Houston Dynamo in 2006 and 2007; Mike Enfield, Hartman, Cobi Jones and Pete Vagenas with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2005; Nick Rimando in 2004 with DC United; Adam Frye, Hartman, Jones, Matt Reis, Vagenas and Sasha Victorine in 2002 with the Sigi Schmid-coached Galaxy; Conrad and Zak Ibsen in 2001 with the San Jose Earthquakes; Tahj Jakins in 2000 with the Kansas City Wizards; and Josh Keller and Ante Razov with the Chicago Fire in 1988.

UCLA has been well-represented in the MLS All-Star Games. At least two Bruins have been on All-Star teams every season since the league’s inception, including nine-time All-Star Jones. Bruins have also been very successful in MLS drafts. In two of the last three years, a Bruin has been the No. 1 draft pick - Chance Myers in 2008 (Kansas City) and Marvell Wynne in 2006 (New York). Other No. 1 picks were Tahj Jakins (1997, Colorado) and Steve Shak (2000, New York/New Jersey). Two Bruins were Top 3 picks in 2008 - No. 1 Myers and No. 3 Tony Beltran (Real Salt Lake). Four or more Bruins were selected in the 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2004 drafts.

Other former MLS Bruins have been successful overseas, as well. Four Bruins played in the English Premier League in 2007-08 - Friedel (Blackburn), Bocanegra (Fulham), Eddie Lewis (Derby County) and Benny Feilhaber (Derby County). Friedel became the first American player picked for the 2002 English Premier League team of the year when he was voted the top goalkeeper by his peers.

Several others played in Europe before returning to the U.S. to play in MLS. Paul Caligiuri, the first American-born player ever to play in the top-flight division in Germany, first played abroad with SV Meppen and also played with St. Pauli in the German Bundesliga. Hejduk also played in the German Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, and Jones (Coventry City), Joe-Max Moore (Everton) and Adolfo Gregorio (Darlington) enjoyed stints in England.

Westwood has become the German pipeline in recent years, with three Bruins heading to the German Bundesliga in the last four years - Feilhaber to Hamburg SV in 2005, Kamani Hill to VfL Wolfsburg in 2006 and Sal Zizzo to Hannover 96 in 2007.

Other recent UCLA players with overseas contracts are Matt Taylor (TuS Koblenz in Germany) and Mike Enfield (Sydney FC in Australia).
