description: "Miro Rys was a Czech American soccer forward who played professionally in the North American Soccer League. Rys earned three caps, scoring one goal, with the U.S. national team. A talented striker with, according to Bill Foulkes, \"a cannon-like shot and a tremendous desire\", Rys was the biggest American soccer prospect of his time and, according to Jim Pollihan, was expected to become \"the top American player in a year or two\" when he died in a car accident outside Dortmund, Germany while there to try out for several professional teams."
