LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez offers his first World Cup memory ahead of U.S. vs. Ghana

On Monday, LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez will develop a lasting memory of his very first World Cup match when the U.S. takes on Ghana in their Group G opener.


But what about Gonzalez's first World Cup memory?


That goes back to the 1994 FIFA World Cup when Gonzalez was just a child living outside of Dallas. 


"My first World Cup memory as a kid was at the Cotton Bowl, I got a chance to go to a few games as a volunteer," Gonzalez recently told LAGalaxy.com. "When I was there, my mom tells me that I used to mimic Bebeto's celebration."

Think Gonzalez will mimic that celebration if he scores?
