Bocanegra Turns 100

Carlos Bocanegra, presuming he gets a cap against Slovenia will join the USMNT century club. He’s sitting at 99 now and will be the 11th player to reach 100 caps for the team, which is (according to wikipedia) more than any other national team. The other USMNT players with a hundred caps or more are…

Rank	Player	Caps	Goals	Years
1	Cobi Jones	164	15	1992–2004
2	Landon Donovan	138	46	2000–present
3	Jeff Agoos	134	4	1988–2003
4	Marcelo Balboa	128	13	1988–2000
5	Claudio Reyna	112	8	1994–2006
6	Paul Caligiuri	110	5	1984–1997
7	Eric Wynalda	106	34	1990–2000
8	Kasey Keller	102	0	1990–2007
9	Earnie Stewart	101	17	1990–2004
10	Tony Meola	100	0	1988–2006
	Joe-Max Moore	100	24	1992–2002

 

Presumably by tomorrow night Captain Carlos will have his name etched onto that list.

To celebrate, here’s Carlo’s Bocanegra summing up his perfect dinner party for anyone interested in throwing him one for reaching the honor.
