There's this US kid [well he's probably a fully grown man now,ha] called Eddie something [US viewers please feel free to provide the name] who I have seen a few times on TV. I think a few Euro clubs were interested in signing him.
Anyway he's my tip.
edit; just checked; his name is Eddie Gaven.

Originally posted by dottewellThe T&T Goalkeeper, Kelvin Jack, who leads Trinidad and Tobago to a debut World Cup victory by not letting in a single goal in the group stages, giving his team 0-0 draws with England and Sweden, and scores a freak goal against Paraguay to give them a 1-0 victory in the following manner:
Remember Pele naming America's John Harkes as the player of the 1994 World Cup? Or Papa Bouba Diop briefly being courted by Europe's "elite clubs" after helping Senegal spank the French in 2002?
Who will be the unlikely star in Germany?
A free kick taken by Chilavert (who comes out of retirement to help marshall the Paraguayan defence) comes back of the crossbar into Jack's hands. Jack then hoofs the ball as hard as he can down the pitch whilst Chilavert is scrambling back to get into his own goal. Chilavert breaks down in tears as he sees the ball trickle in as he reaches his own penalty area, and realises not only has he lost forever the chance to become the first goalkeeper to score in the World Cup, but is also the first goalkeeper to conceed a goal to a fellow keeper in the World Cup.
Inspired by his own heroics, Jack then continues to keep clean sheet after clean sheet through the knock-out stages, which due to his teams inability to score, results in a penalty shoot-out everytime. He then saves every penalty he faces too, in a brave one man show of defiance, of which Gary Lineker comments 'The Spartans of Thermopolae would be proud!', to which Mark Lawrenson replies 'I've never heard of the spartans... are they a team from the carribean?'
The final, against an all-conquering Brazil team, is by no means a classic. Despite placing 65 shots on goal, Brazil cannot beat Jack, who pulls off four saves in a single goal-line scramble. Pele blungeons Mark Lawrenson to death with his microphone as a result of this, as the great Brasilian loses all self-control when Lawrenson insists for the tenth time that Gordon Banks famous double save was more impressive than what Jack had just produced.
The match goes to penalties, and Trinidad and Tobago goes wild as Jack himself scores the winning penalty having just saved from his Brasilian opposite number to give Trinidad and Tobago a 1-0 penalty win, both sides each having taken 11 penalties.
Jack is then bought by Chelsea for £25 million, as Dundee realise they can just keep refusing until a big enough offer comes up. Jack spends the next 3 years warming the Chelsea reserves bench whilst receiving his £100,000 a week wage. He then joins Dundee again on a free transfer when his contact expires, and is crucial in helping them win the Scottish Premier League (aided by a superb team, bought with the funds from his initial sale).
This is immediately followed by his shock retirement, at the age of 34.

He'll have a little tantrum because he's not getting his own way again, viciously hack someone down, throw a few punches in the ensuing fight and then get sent off. England will then go on to loose the match, get booted from the World Cup suffering yet another embarrasingly shocking defeat.
