D.C. United Goalkeeper Bill Hamid is a Homegrown Hero | MLS Insider

Bill Hamid's high school coach says, the game runs deep in him. As a child, Hamid played for his father in leagues around the nation's capital and joined supporters' tailgates before D.C. United games. Signed by United at age 16, Hamid's athletic prowess and studious approach to the game's finer points earned him the 2014 Goalkeeper of the Year award.

This has the best opening of any of the MLS insiders

[@KulushiMaxwell]

I want more stories like this. Players who were fans growing up and now representing their team with pride. You never hear players say things like "I want to put my team back where they deserve to be. We have a winning history and need to be on top." You hear it all the time in Europe and i'm proud to hear it from a prominent MLS player like Hamid

[@FookinWeasel]

I'm a diehard Revs fan and think Bill is a top 3 keeper in the MLS, amazing story

[@MegaVideoUploader100]

I'm a revs fan too and I think the same, he is a beast

[@75smurfette]

I'm so near tears, I'm gonna miss Bill Hamid so much and am so proud to have had him play for our beloved D.C. United!! Thank you Bill!!

[@dafucksgoinon]

VAMOS UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are finally getting noticed

[@rosapittman3975]

Bill Hamid is one of the best keepers ever and I'm so glad that he plays for us! Vamos United!

[@dodgerbluegabe]

Bill's dad is awesome

[@thedevonator1]

I love these kinds of videos! It broadens the talent of these players that were brought up from this country! Thanks MLS this is awesome!

[@Enterthedarkness23]

World Class Goalkeeper. Deserves to be a starter at a mid-table Premier League Team. Will be #2 goalkeeper behind Guzan, once Howard and Rimando retires from the national team.

[@raulibarra4355]

maybe in a couple of years. could become USAs future No. 1

[@MegaVideoUploader100]

Yup I truly believe he is the future goalkeeper

[@chambersheros7096]

Bill Hamid already made a name for himself. Soon he will be in roster that may be considered going into record for real. He may not be Howard but dude is a game keeper changer

[@coach9546]

Bill Hamid needs to be the next starting Goalkeeper for the USMNT once Howard is retired, much younger and better than Guzan, come on Jurgen, you have talent to pick, Hamid is the future, I'm telling you now.

[@muhdpeep]

Kris Thomas too late

[@holychild2581]

Bill Hamid is instantly cooler now that I know he plays New World Symphony in his car

[@ikeownscharizards]

Big fan of Hamid. This video was great.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

Glad he's in Europe now, I hope he gets a real chance.

[@jonesagyei1384]

Beautiful video...Amazing guy

[@langstonjones6308]

DC is the best

[@JayWalkZ]

in my opinion, the top 3 goalkeepers currently is 1. Bill Hamid 2. Tyler Deric 3. Nick Rimando

[@FookinWeasel]

I agree but I think David Ousted has really proved himself this season too

[@asiangrapher41]

No Robles?

[@gabg1538]

Evan Bush

[@Basedkeane95]

Jaime Penedo

[@FookinWeasel]

+Based Keane ... He doesn't even play for LA anymore

[@ripper-wrench]

Great story!

[@blueconversechucks]

nice profile. good luck Bill and I hope dc does well in the playoffs.

[@thedevonator1]

Do a video about the best rivalries since this is rivalry week! That would be cool.

[@fwu-finallywakingup6033]

Bill Hamid has to be the designated top Goal Keeper for the U.S. Mens National team for the next 8 years seriously...

[@jameslesesne7946]

I've met him

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Hey, U.S. Soccer! Yes you! Get this man on the national team, and keep him there! Time is running out to develop new starting goalkeepers for the World Cup!

[@williamnewton4242]

yes him and Nick rimando!

[@Emper0rH0rde]

+Camulbak Nick Rimando is too old, sadly. He's the exact same age as Tim Howard, and going into the World Cup with a starting goalkeeper who's over 30 is just a bad idea. We *did* that in Germany 2006, and look how that turned out (hell, half that team was over 30 or close to 30). Italy did that twice in a row, and guess how they finished in the two most recent World Cups?

[@Yandezey2]

I went to the same academy as him!!

[@chambersheros7096]

I expect Orlando to be in play off for sure but I don't know how hungry the want it.

[@IAmXzibit]

His dad was my coach also

[@fwu-finallywakingup6033]

I wish DC would have made him a priority to keep...

[@huamanJR]

dc is doing everything to keep him on the team. I don't blame them.

[@danielheltberg6202]

His dad is my soccer club's president

[@elninogordo]

Coach Sully opened my vision as a kid in abgc flames in the 90s. He didnt remember me 20years later that one day at luther jackson ms. Triangles everywhere on the field :)

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

But Hamid great player so is DC good team

[@MegaVideoUploader100]

Penedo is a good keeper but left. Sean Johnson is good upcoming keeper

[@Lightwaverable]

D.C. Have nice ass Homegrowns. Still hate them, lol.

[@solar2473]

Even if he can't get he starting GK spot of crappy old keepers like Rimando, Howard, and Guzan

[@asiangrapher41]

Luis Robles

[@DmitriyK12]

Luis Robles is a decent gk, but he still gives up too many easy goals and doesn't play aggresively enough (I am a dual NYRB/Union supporter).

[@oscararias6448]

The high school coach has an odd accent.

[@nathanmcfall9016]

I'm pretty sure it's a a scouse accent but I may be way wrong haha

[@Kaataawu]

That's my high school. He's from Wales.

[@Delboy0]

It is a Welsh accent from Wales in the UK. It is just Americans are less knowledgable about Wales as they know more about the Scottish, Irish and English, despite the fact many Americans have Welsh roots. Any American with the surname name Jones, Evans, Davies, Parry, Owen, Owens, Howell, Marvin, Maddox, Lewis, Reece, Yates, Pryce, Pritchard, Rice, Price, Powell, Morris, Morgan, Floyd, Elllis, Banes and Bale have Welsh roots because these are Welsh origin family names.

[@nathanmcfall9016]

+Delboy0 like I said, I may be way wrong. But thanks for the information

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

DC will be out in playoffs first round

[@abcFIFAxyzHD]

I hate shuttleworth

[@FookinWeasel]

Bobby is life
