Cosmos jump-start fall season with 3-1 win over Miami FC
Eric Calvillo Emerges as a Star, Named NASL Player of the Week
Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pelé are arguably the best soccer players of all time, not only for their superb tactical skills, but also for their ability to change games.
They are considered the sport’s elite because they are difference makers. They have the capacity to take a match by the scruff of the neck and cement a result for their team by any means possible.
These types of players are rare, but the New York Cosmos may have found their own game changer in the form of 19-year-old midfielder Eric Calvillo.
The California native has tallied four goals and one assist in his last four games, including two goals in the Cosmos’ 3-1 win against Miami FC on Saturday in the team’s fall season opener.
