In this explosive episode of Unleashed, Eric Wynalda digs into the 5-point plan he ran on during his 2017 campaign for U.S. Soccer President — and no, he hasn’t let it go. From scrapping pay-to-play and flipping the MLS calendar to introducing promotion/relegation, sharing TV rights, and integrating USL into a real pyramid, Eric lays out what could’ve been (and what might still be).

While the campaign didn’t win him the seat, it might’ve won the war — as USL quietly seems to be implementing many of his ideas today. Expect rants, receipts, and a rare moment of “I told you so” that actually hits.

Topics covered:

Why pay-to-play still kills American soccer dreams

The case for a fall-to-spring MLS calendar

Pro/rel: idealism or inevitability?

How TV deals are gatekeeping the game

Why USL might just beat MLS to the punch

Tap in. Agree or disagree — just don’t say he didn’t warn you.
