Club career

=Early career=

Gomez started his career in 2001 with Cruz Azul of the Mexican Primera División on their second-division squad, and transferred to second-division team Aguilas Blancas de Puebla later that year. The following season, he returned to the Primera División with Durango. However, playing opportunities were scarce for him there. The Los Angeles Galaxy staff noticed him during a friendly match and he joined the team in September.{{Cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/luis_bueno/02/12/herculez.gomez/index.html |title=MLS alum Herculez Gomez living his unusual dream in Mexico - Luis Bueno - SI.com |access-date=June 10, 2010 |archive-date=February 16, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100216131308/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/luis_bueno/02/12/herculez.gomez/index.html |url-status=dead }}

Gomez broke his foot while on loan to the Seattle Sounders of the United Soccer Leagues, and recovery took a long time. When he was able to play again, he joined the San Diego Sockers of the Major Indoor Soccer League.{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jun/06/a-road-to-world-cup-paved-with-heartache/|title=A road to World Cup paved with heartache|access-date=July 6, 2016}} He returned to the Galaxy for the 2005 season on a developmental contract, and played well enough to make it to the first team. His big chance came when Landon Donovan was called up to the national team. Donovan's absence gave Gomez many more starts at striker, and he was able to shine as a breakout goal-scorer.{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/id/5063896/ce/us/herculez-gomez-lights-nets-mexico?cc%3D5901%26ver%3Dus |title=Herculez Gomez lights up the nets in Mexico - ESPN Soccernet |access-date=June 10, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100411231938/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/id/5063896/ce/us/herculez-gomez-lights-nets-mexico?cc=5901&ver=us |archive-date=April 11, 2010 }}

He scored the game-winning goal in the 2005 U.S. Open Cup Final, then helped the Galaxy to a rare Cup 'double' when they also won the 2005 MLS Cup. Gomez ended the 2005 season with eighteen goals scored for the Galaxy (in all matches), and was voted by the local L.A. media as the year's Most Valuable Player.{{cite web|url=http://hispanic-americans.com/blogs/news/archive/2010/04/26/herculez-gomez-wins-mexican-league-scoring-title.aspx |title=Hispanic-Americans.com : Herculez Gomez Wins Mexican League Scoring Title |access-date=June 10, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711170851/http://hispanic-americans.com/blogs/news/archive/2010/04/26/herculez-gomez-wins-mexican-league-scoring-title.aspx |archive-date=July 11, 2011 }}

Early in the 2006 season, Gomez was moved to the bench with then-coach Steve Sampson. Sampson used Gomez as a midfielder to see if he could score goals running at defenses. After Sampson's firing, however, Gomez scored several times under new coach Frank Yallop, and ended that season with five goals.{{cite web|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2010/05/26/2010-05-26_final_us_world_cup_roster.html|title=Buddle, Gomez named to final U.S. roster|website=New York Daily News |access-date=July 6, 2016}}

United on April 7, 2007. Gomez tore his ACL during training with the Rapids in September of that year and underwent a lengthy recovery process.{{cite web|url=http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/may/11/las-vegas-gomez-makes-united-states-preliminary-wo/|title=Las Vegas' Herculez Gomez makes U.S. preliminary World Cup roster|date=May 11, 2010|access-date=July 6, 2016}}

International career

Gomez was named to the United States roster for the 2007 Copa America and earned his first cap as a second-half substitute against Argentina, with his first start coming against Colombia.{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/usa/story/040110-galarcep-gomez-reignites-career-in-mexico |title=Gomez reignites career in Mexico - News - FOX Sports on MSN |access-date=June 10, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100604085727/http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/usa/story/040110-galarcep-gomez-reignites-career-in-mexico |archive-date=June 4, 2010 }}

After a lengthy absence from the national team, Gomez was named to the provisional 30-man U.S. squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup after a highly productive club season in Mexico. He scored a goal for the U.S. national team in a 4–2 friendly defeat to the Czech Republic on May 25; the next day he was named to the final 23-man squad.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/17/sports/soccer/17soccer.html|title=Two Strikers Score Their Way Into the Picture|date=May 17, 2010|work=The New York Times|access-date=July 6, 2016}} Gomez played in 3 out of the 4 games for the United States at the World Cup, including the round of 16 game against Ghana.
