As a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame and the Colorado Hall of Fame, Marcelo joins Zurvita from a highly successful professional soccer and broadcasting career.

Named the U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 1992 and 1994, he retired shortly after in 2002 to embark on a professional broadcasting career.
