In this episode of Unleashed, Eric Wynalda dives headfirst into the brutal truths holding American soccer back — from the flawed academy system to the delusional stance on promotion and relegation.

Eric takes on the myth of "greedy" MLS owners, explains why solidarity payments matter, and calls out the dangerous shift from results to opinions in youth development. He even gives shoutouts to the real winners from the Generation Adidas Cup — including a familiar face from Las Vegas.

If you believe U.S. soccer has untapped potential, this one's for you. But be warned: Wynalda doesn’t pull punches.
