Jeff (nicknamed Goose), is a former American soccer defender, one of the all time appearance leaders for the United States national team. He currently holds the record for the most MLS championships of any player with five total: three with DC United (for whom he played from 1996 to 2000) and two with the San Jose Earthquakes (2001 2004).

Agoos made his debut with the United States national team on January 13, 1988 against Guatemala. Jeff was the last member to be cut from the US squad for the 1994 World Cup and he burned his uniform upon hearing the news. He made the squad for the 1998 World Cup in France but did not play a single minute, in favor of David Regis. In the World Cup in South Korea/Japan at the age of 34, Jeff started the first three games (he scored a brilliant own goal, a powerful volley from a Portuguese corner, to finish the scoring in the surprising win against Portugal) until he suffered a calf injury against Poland and missed the rest of the tournament.

Jeff was named MLS Defender of the Year in 2001 and earned a place in the MLS Best XI three times (1997, 1999, and 2001). He was traded to the MetroStars after the 2004 season for a fourth round draft pick. In ten years in MLS, Agoos scored 11 regular season goals and added 25 assists in 244 matches. In 2005, he was named to the MLS All Time Best XI, before retiring in December.
