Where exactly does Nick Rimando rank among the all-time greatest goalkeepers in the history of Major League Soccer?
If you live anywhere even remotely near the shadow of the Wasatch Range – or in Miami, or Washington, D.C. – the answer is simple: No. 1.
With two MLS Cups, more shutouts than any goalkeeper in the league’s history and a reputation as the best man in MLS to put on the spot on a penalty shootout, Rimando’s record speaks for itself. He is – as they love to call him in Salt Lake City – the Wall of the Wasatch.
The latest episode of the Emmy-nominated series MLS Insider takes a closer look at the career and charisma of Rimando, the 35-year old veteran still working away at RSL and chasing more records by the day.
Don’t miss the entire MLS Insider series, including the MLS arrival of Jermaine Jones, a look at the importance of statistics in soccer and the story of New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.
