Olympic Gold

While Germany and Brazil square off in the gold medal match in Rio De Janeiro on Saturday, FC Dallas features a former Olympic gold medalist in Mauro Rosales. The Argentine was on a star-studded squad in 2004 that featured the likes of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano and won gold in Athens, Greece. The 35-year-old midfielder came to MLS in 2011 and won Newcomer of the Year honors.
