Midfielder Clint Mathis will play his last professional soccer game and end an 11-year career Saturday when his Major League Soccer-leading Los Angeles Galaxy will host Real Madrid in an exhibition game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.
Mathis began his career with the Galaxy in 1998, left the team in 2000, came back to play the end of the 2007 MLS season, and was re-acquired in January 2010 through a trade with the defending league champion Real Salt Lake.
He played 45 games for the US Men's Narional Team, all under head coach Bruce Arena, and was part of the US team in the 2000 FIFA World Cup that made the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time since 1930.
Mathis also played in MLS for the New York Red Bulls (then MetroStars) and the Colorado Rapids, and spent time playing professionally in Germany and Greece.
