Eric Responds to the Diego Luna Backlash: ‘MLS is the Problem’

Eric Wynalda is fired up in Volume 2 of the Luna Files. In this episode of Unleashed, he digs into the truth behind Diego Luna’s journey—from being rejected by all three Texas MLS clubs to proving himself in El Paso, to (finally) breaking through with Real Salt Lake and the USMNT.

But the real target? The growing narrative that MLS is the best place to develop ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Wynalda doesn’t hold back on:

Landon Donovan’s take on Luna and MLS

Fox Sports’ “complacency culture”

Why guaranteed minutes are ruining American ambition

The forgotten impact of USL and coaches like Mark Lowry & John Hutchinson

What needs to change for the U.S. to actually become a soccer nation

Plus, some brutally honest fan comments, a bit of shade toward Herrera, and Wynalda’s personal career reflections that tie it all together.
