About this episode

"The US players going to the 2026 World Cup could have the same kind of impact that we had back in 1994. They could become known for generations and elevate the sport to another level."

Herc sat down with soccer legend Cobi Jones to discuss all things soccer, sharing his experiences with the USMNT in multiple World Cups. They talked about how the game has evolved in the US since the Barcelona Olympics in 1994, delved into his time with Coventry City when he was one of the few Americans playing in the English Premier League back in the '90s, analyzed the beginnings of Major League Soccer while playing for the LA Galaxy, and what's his current role as a part-owner of a professional sports team.
