He actually has 2 sons who plays for USA, I can’t remember the younger one’s first name.

It was stacked with legends like seedorf, van der sar, frank de boer, rijkaard, edgar davids, overmars, kluivert, and ofc Litmanen who was the best among them that time but isn't remembered as much now. Also they were even coached by Van Gaal. I personally see them as among the top 5 best ucl squads of all time.

He was awesome, and there were many other great players, too (such as Pirlo and Roberto Baggio [my childhood idol], who almost scored a header and, I believe, provided the assist to Weah). Baresi (the legendary defender) scored the winning goal in that match. Incredible memories. :)
