The Tommy Thompson hype train has been chugging along nicely around here lately.
But we didn't think we'd be mentioning the 19-year-old San Jose Earthquakes and US U-20 midfielder's name alongside Barcelona maestro Lionel Messi's anytime soon.
On Tuesday afternoon, Messi pulled off a touch in Barça's UEFA Champions League match with Manchester City that left the soccer world agog. It was pretty awesome.
It was also very familiar to anyone who saw TomThom do it last year in an MLS regular season game.
