	Ante Razov
		Ante Razov (born March 2, 1974 in Whittier, California) is an American soccer striker, who currently plays for the Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer.
		Razov played college soccer at UCLA and was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the third round of the 1996 MLS College Draft.
		Razov spent the next seven years with Chicago, save a brief period in 2001 that he spent with Spanish second division club Racing de Ferrol.

		Ante Razov has been patient while riding the bench in earlier games, but he waited only 74 seconds to score in Wednesday's game.
		Razov gave the United States an early lead in its 2-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday night, scoring just 74 seconds into the game — perhaps the fastest goal ever for the Americans in World Cup qualifying.
		Razov got that chance just over a minute into the game when he took a long lead from Jeff Agoos and got behind the last defender.

	ABC Sports - Razov makes his statement in 74th second
		-- Ante Razov's early strike certainly wasn't Paul Caliguiri's "shot heard around the world" from 1989 that vaulted the United States to its first World Cup in 40 years, but it certainly was heard around the Bay State, within Sam's Army and deep in the heart of a tiny Caribbean nation.
		Razov explained his topspin strike of fury in the easiest of terms, sounding like any 10-year-old recounting one of his recreation league goals to a group of friends.
		For Razov, his goal and all-around strong play the rest of the night, including a goal called back in the 64th minute on an offside call, couldn't have come at a better time.

	MLS Finally Ups Its Ante For U.S. Stars - Ante Razov returns to Major League Soccer - Brief Article Soccer Digest - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		ANTE RAZOV CAME HOME TO Chicago in August, but--despite the beliefs of many U.S. soccer observers--not with his tail between his legs or with MLS's pride in tatters.
		So when Razov returned to the Chicago Fire with three months remaining in the MLS season--with play just kicking off in Europe--it was assumed it was because he couldn't cut it across the ocean.
		Instead, Razov increased his chances of landing the best possible situation with a European club for the 2001-02 season and beyond, and MLS officials showed continued intelligence with their willingness to embrace marquee American players.

	American Soccer News - Chivas USA
		Ante Razov and Bob Bradley are not quite as well-known or accomplished a pair as any of those listed.
		However, Bradley is quick to point out that just because he gave Razov his first real chance in MLS (the southern California native striker played six combined games for the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1996 and 1997) does not mean that the relationship is one-sided.
		That level of respect is clearly important to Razov; his 2005 campaign got off to such a rough start in large part because of a lack of respect between he and then-Columbus Crew head coach Greg Andrulis.

		He was the top goal scorer in MLS at week's end, the kind of experienced sniper the national team could use after getting only one goal in three games at the recent Confederations Cup.
		Though Wolff is faster and three years younger, Razov's lethal left foot and solid scoring rate in previous appearances with the national team -- six goals in 22 games -- are reason enough to give him another shot.
		You'd think foes would realize Razov's right foot is as vestigial as a curmudgeon's smile, but there he was again on Saturday, faking right and then cutting left on his winning strike.
