A record he took from USMNT goalkeeper, Tim Howard.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Hamid became the first academy player in D.C. United franchise history to sign with the first team. He went on to play eight games with United in 2010, making 20 saves and posting a shut out. He returns this season after a torn labrum in his right shoulder ended his 2010 campaign. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_2057-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Continued here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/foreign.peacefmonline.com\/sports\/201103\/149584.php\" title=\"D.C.
