DID YOU KNOW that Tommy Thompson's father was the 1983 NASL Rookie of the Year?

You did?

OK—do you have any idea who his closest friend is in the game of soccer? Or what the 19-year-old San Jose Earthquakes forward would be doing with his life it it weren't for soccer?

Thompson is the 65th American player to take our trademark Questionnaire, and his answers will give you a sense of the person behind the player. Below you'll find a teaser, but we really want you to CLICK HERE for his full questionnaire.

"It happened in Dallas Cup four or five years ago. A team needed to win 8-0 against a team that we beat 4-1. It’s in Dallas Cup, so it’s supposed to be at a high level. Our whole team ended up going to the game and at halftime it was scoreless, so we thought we were through. In the second half they score eight goals and the last goal came off of a PK in the last two minutes. Next thing you know we’re out of the tournament when we were expecting to go through. That was just a huge disappointment."
