'''Steve Cronin''' (born '''Steven Michael Cronin ''' on [[May 28]], [[1983]] in [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]], [[California]]) is an American [[soccer]] [[goalkeeper]], who currently plays for the [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] of [[Major League Soccer]]. |
|||
As a teenager, Cronin trained with the Under-17 [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] at the [[United States Soccer Federation|USSF]]'s [[Bradenton Academy]], along players like [[Landon Donovan]], [[DaMarcus Beasley]], and [[Bobby Convey]]. He made his international debut with the team against Sweden on [[November 26]], [[1998]].<ref>[http://www.soccertimes.com/usteams/roster/u-17men/cronin.htm Steve Cronin]''SoccerTimes.com''</ref> He played [[college soccer]] at [[Santa Clara University]] from 2001 to 2003. As a freshman, Cronin pulled double duty, starting 10 games as a goalkeeper and six in the field, finishing the season with a 0.79 goals against average. For the next two years, Cronin remained solely in goal, starting 27 matches and being named first-team All-West Coast Conference as a junior. |
|||
Following a tremendous performance with the Under-20 national team in the [[2003 FIFA World Youth Championship]], Cronin signed a [[Project-40]] contract with MLS. He was selected 10th overall in the [[2004 MLS SuperDraft]] by his hometown [[San Jose Earthquakes]]. Unfortunately for Cronin, San Jose had two very competent goalkeepers in front of him, 2003 [[MLS Goalkeeper of the Year]] [[Pat Onstad]] and [[Jon Conway]], and the young keeper did not get any playing time in the 2004 season. |
|||
Cronin was traded to Los Angeles in the off-season in a four-player deal and started several games for the Galaxy. He was called up for the [[USMNT]] camp before the game against Sweden on January 19, 2008, but was not called up for the game itself.<ref>[http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/steve-cronin-gets-a-surprise-call-up.html Steve Cronin Gets a Surprise Call-up] Laurie, ''The Offside'', January 7, 2008.</ref> He became the LA Galaxy's starting goalkeeper after they traded [[Joe Cannon (soccer)|Joe Cannon]] to the [[San Jose Earthquakes]] in January 2008.<ref>[http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20080207&content_id=138154&vkey=news_lag&fext=.jsp&team=t106 Cronin embracing opportunity to start] Greg Daurio, ''Los Angeles Galaxy, February 7, 2008.</ref> Cronin had recently signed a multi-year contract extension with L.A. |
