MLS & US Soccer References

Found this little trivia piece related to obscure soccer references and nicknames which I thought some of my readers might enjoy. Check out Climbing the Ladder's recent post titled MLS & US Soccer References. One of my favorites was this one:

OTC - Orange traffic cone. Refers to defender Danny Califf and his lack of speed, for example famously being beat by Dwayne De Rosario for the winning goal in MLS Cup 2001. After some uninspired performances in the summer of 2003, this thread was started on Bigsoccer and thus a new nickname was born.

I might pull out the term OTC one day in a practice...who knows.
