On his birthday, Eric Wynalda holds nothing back. In this episode of Unleashed, Eric unpacks the illusion of progress in American soccer—and why what we’re calling “growth” might actually be rotting the foundation of the sport.

He breaks down the U.S. Men's National Team’s recent loss to Turkey, dissects the real impact of Major League Soccer on American development, and calls out the flawed culture that celebrates mediocrity while punishing ambition. From player mentality to coaching systems to international comparisons, Wynalda gives a blunt reality check:

“Cancer is a growth. And the growth we’re celebrating in U.S. Soccer is killing us.”

This episode includes:

A brutally honest "Level Check" on players like Jack McGlynn, Diego Luna & Quinn Sullivan

A walk down memory lane with the 1990 San Francisco Bay Blackhawks

Why MLS has made other nations better—and not the U.S.

How Europe lets talent flourish, while the U.S. tries to mold it into mediocrity
