Top American Soccer Players in the World

My picks of the top five soccer players that are born in America and play for world soccer are featured on this page. Some the men of soccer are young in their twenties with many years ahead of them. While others are in their prime, but are still going strong.

The oldest player is Brad Friedel, born on May 18, 1971. The oldest soccer player on this page is Michael Bradley, born July 31, 1987.

All of these pro soccer players have won awards or broken records. They have proved to be the best in their field.

One example of a special award to one superstar soccer player is Tim Howard. H is the Everton goalkeeper and captain of the United States Men's National Team. At the 2009 Confederations Cup he was awarded the Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper

The 42-year-old goal is a legendary goalkeeper and is also known as "The Human Wall" after his antics in the 2002 World Cup. He has had successful stints at Liverpool, Aston Villa, Blackburn and Tottenham.

With a vast amount of Premier League experience under his belt, he is the oldest player in the history of the league. Friedel still has sharp reflexes and I would still rank him in Top 5 keepers in EPL right now.

Michael Bradley presently plays for Roma in the Italian Serie A as a central midfielder. He is a strong soccer player and looks quite strong and impressive. Bradley was a former Chievo player who is at the age of 26, has not yet reached his peek and can do wonders for the team under Coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Brady grew up on soccer. When he was young, his father Bob Bradley was a coach for the soccer team in Princeton University.

Then as a teenager, his family moved to Palatine, Illinois. His father coached the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer team. At this time Michael Bradley played for Sockers FC. It was a great experience for him as the Sockers FC finished third in the 2002 National Championship.

Posters look better in frames. This one highlights Michael Bradley of Team USA during the FIFA World Cup. This took place in South Africa between the men's national association football teams for the championship.

Landon Donovan was the best player for Klinsmann's team in the Gold's Cup 2013. Some have declared the 31-year-old as less impressive, but it won't be wrong to say he is still one of the most dominant players in the MLS.

He can still put in a world class performance, whenever he wants. His performances at Everton are still remembered by the fans there.

Tim Howard is a crowd favorite for both, the club and the national team. He is rock solid between the posts and is generally sharp and focused. The 34-year-old was an instant hit at Manchester United, but was unable to handle the pressure at Old Trafford and lost his confidence after making some mistakes on the field.

But his half a decade stint at Everton has given him recognition among the top keepers in the league.

More of Tim Howard is featured in USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Soccer Memorabilia.
