Haji Wright’s introduction to international soccer when he scored the lone goal for the United States against Holland in the 2022 World Cup’s Round of 16.
Since then, the 26-year-old winger, who has played all over Europe, signed with Coventry City of the English Championship, where he just had his best season yet with 19 goals—seven of them match winners.
Haji joins Taylor to talk about his early days playing soccer, his friendships with fellow USMNT players, and the goal that got family members to stop pressuring him to switch to basketball.
Plus, Taylor breaks down the significance of San Diego FC’s newest signing, Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.
