One player was left off of the list an he probably had the biggest game of them all: Oguchi Onyewu. The Standard Liege defender had a game a large as his body, scoring twice in a 3-1 over Anderlecht in the Belgian Super Cup. Props to the big man, here's to hoping for...
Newcastle United, January 2007: Much hype preceded the talented defender’s arrival last year.

KRAKOW, Poland (March 26, 2008) — Goals by a pair of defenders and a swerving free kick from Eddie Lewis paced the U.S. to a convincing 3-0 win against Poland as the U.S. improved their lifetime record against Poland to an even 7-7-2. Landon Donovan provided both assists on the first half goals from Carlos Bocanegra and Oguchi Onyewu as the U.S. remained unbeaten in 2008, posting a 2-0-1 record.
