'I wanted to be the guy you could count on' - Beasley reflects on career with retirement looming

The USMNT veteran will retire at the conclusion of the MLS season, ending one of the most decorated careers in American soccer history

DaMarcus Beasley says he doesn't want to be remembered for his records, and he has plenty of them. He doesn't want to be remembered for his trophies, and there are plenty of those, too. He doesn't even necessarily want to be remembered for the ground he broke throughout his two-decade-long career.

Instead, as he approaches the end of a career that seemingly would never and could never end, the U.S. national team legend wants to remembered for the moments, the times when he stepped up and proved that he was a player and a man that could be counted on.
