Despite being on the scene for what seems like forever (was the keeper in both the 1990 and 1994 World Cups), Meola is ageless and is unquestionably still among the best American keepers.

STRENGTHS: Organizing the defense, toughness.

WEAKNESSES: If the U.S. needs to play him, then he is a step down in class from Friedel and Keller.
