“What would it look like in a competition between an MLS All-Star team playing against the Americans competing in Europe? Like two different national team pools (…) I don’t think that there is so much of a difference in level because of the perception of Major League Soccer and how low of a level it is compared to somewhere else in Europe”
In this episode, Herc sat down with Paul Arriola, FC Dallas’ captain and USMNT’s player. Paul shared details about his soccer journey, including his recent experience as a father to a daughter, his upbringing in San Diego and Tijuana, his time playing for the US Men’s National Team, and his actual role as a leader for FC Dallas.

"I think it's wild what's going on in the US Open Cup for USL teams and MLS teams (...) I know a lot of guys in MLS who used the Open Cup as a chance to get minutes, and now they're first-team main contributors. I know there's been a lot of USL teams that make those runs, and I'm sure some of those guys go on to get MLS contracts."
In this episode, Herc had a candid conversation with John Tolkien, popularly known as JMi, and the left-back for the New York Red Bulls. As one of the best players in his position, JMi shared his experience growing up in the NY Red Bull Academy as a homegrown player, and his intention to improve as a leader this upcoming season. He discussed his views on the US Open Cup, and the US men's national team in the international scene, and also talked about his plans, such as participating in the Olympics, Copa America, or playing in a European league.
