Playing on a global stage, chances are Mathis will create a buzz around US team

Can Mathis help the US to make it to the second round? His record sure says that it might be possible.

He can’t exactly tell you how it happens. It just happens. The amazing hat trick against the Kansas City Wizards last year. The 60-yard mouse-in-a-maze run against Dallas. The touchdown pass to Josh Wolff against the Mexicans. The two goals against the Germans in March.

Sounds good to me! Now, let’s see you do it against Portugal next Wednesday!
