Christian Ramirez is an American professional soccer player who plays as a striker for the Major League Soccer club the Columbus Crew. He formerly played for the Houston Dynamo.
After dominating in high school, he played for the Olympic Development Program (ODP) and earned the Golden Boot award at the nationals in 2008 after the squad won the tournament. He was also named team captain for three seasons.
Ramirez says one of his motivations for playing soccer is to live out his father's soccer dream that he wasn't able to. Ultimately he reached that success by playing for a plethora of teams and even received a call-up for the United States men's national soccer team where he scored in a game.
