John McCarthy was born and raised in Philadelphia. He played college football in Philadelphia. He later played four seasons in the union organization, mostly as an MLS-level backup or starter for USL affiliate Bethlehem Steel.

As LAFC won its first title, McCarthy ultimately caused no small amount of distress in his hometown, saving two penalty kicks and being named MLS Cup MVP.<\/p>\n

They lost his third straight for the first time since 1993. We lost in England and Spain and at home to Germany. It was his first time in five years that the USWNT lost at home.
