Biography of retired USMNT soccer player Ramiro Coralles who was an MLS Cup winner with the San Jose Earthquakes.
Caps: 6

Ramiro Corrales was the last of the MLS originals when he retired in 2013, but he didn’t stay in the league for his entire career. Corrales entered Major League Soccer in its inaugural year as an 18-year-old, eschewing college soccer for a pro career and quickly making the USMNT. Picked up by Columbus, he was traded straight on to San Jose, then spent spells at New York and (briefly) Miami before ending up back at San Jose, where he won two MLS Cup rings in 2001 and 2003.

In 2005 he moved to Europe with Ham-Kam and SK Brann, where he picked up a championship medal in 2007. Corrales returned to San Jose in 2008, finishing out his career with the Earthquakes in 2013.
