    Thought this quiz was interesting for my fellow MLS fans. A quiz about the players from 1996, MLS's first season.

    https://quizhusky.com/mls-1996-players-quiz/

    Lots of famous and semi-famous South Americans and European players....plus a few I've never even heard of.

    .......got 6 out of 10.

    10 out of 10!

    (Probably helped that two of them were Rapids)

    I got 9 outta 10. Did not recall that Colorado GK Woods.

    I do however recall a match between D.C. United and the New York/New Jersey MetroStars there at old RFK Stadium. Roberto Donadoni steps up to take a corner kick and a long neck bottle comes flying in at him. He walks over, picks it up, and gave that classic Italian look to the linesman of "che cosa esta?" What is this ref?!?

    Picked this up from that quiz:
    Donadoni came close to being one of only a handful of players to ever die on the pitch. During a match against Red Star Belgrade in 1989, Donadoni suffered a bad head collision with another player. He had his life saved only through the quick-thinking of Red Star's physiotherapist, who broke his jaw to make a passage for oxygen to reach his lungs while he lay unconscious.

    I did not recall him either, but I got it right through process of elimination, considering one of the choices was Chris Waddle and I don't recall the name "Tom Liner" at all.

    Sheepishly, I only got 8.

    The Colorado keeper and I said Kooiman instead of Wegerle.

    10 out of 10, but I (educated) guessed on 3 of them.

    9 out of 10, the Rapids goalkeeper question threw me.
