Let Diego Luna Fly – Or You’ll Ruin Him Like the Rest

In one of the most raw and passionate episodes yet, Eric Wynalda holds nothing back. With Diego Luna’s breakout performances for the USMNT turning heads, Eric sounds the alarm—warning that unless Luna leaves MLS soon, he risks becoming the next cautionary tale in a long list of wasted American talent.

From his own heartbreaking story with Kaiserslautern in 1998 to failed systems that prioritize control over player growth, Eric breaks down why our development model is broken—and why it’s time to stop letting the same people make the same mistakes.

He names names, recalls stories of Santino Quaranta, Juan Agudelo, Freddy Adu, and Kevin Sullivan, and challenges the entire American soccer system to stop caging talent like Luna before it's too late.

⚠ This one will sting—especially if you still believe MLS is the best path forward.
