It is rare to compare Jorge Campos with outfield players like Pele, Pirlo, Ibrahimovic or Rooney, but the truth is that Campos has made a very big mark as a player in MLS. Campos is more remembered for his crazy plays when he came out with the ball at his feet than for great saves. Without a doubt, he made a big mark on MLS.

Jorge Campos was one of those goalkeepers that you can't see anymore. He had a peculiar locrua and that encouraged him to do things that no archer today would do. The MLS remembers him for plays where he grabbed the ball and went with it to the middle of the court without anyone being able to remove it. He was a true wonder.

Campos' foot ability was worthy of comparison with highly skilled players. The speed with which he could carry the ball and the intelligence when he had it in his possession makes people remember him just as they remember Pele or Beckham. Incredibly he was a goalkeeper who was remembered for his skill with the ball.

The MLS for his birthday made him a video and the peculiarity of it is that not a single save appears. All plays are by him starting from his own goal with the ball and playing with his teammates. The truth is that today there are no archers like Jorge Campos.
