INTERVIEW [1:14:30] Finally, Sam gets back on the interview train by sitting down with good friend of the pod Julian Gressel to discuss a whirlwind year that featured an unexpected trade from DC United to Vancouver Whitecaps, securing American citizenship and earning his first-ever callup to USMNT camp this month. We dig in on how he got the NT news, what interim coach Anthony Hudson is like and what his approach/philosophy has been like, who is serving as de facto leader of the players, which kids have caught his eye, team initiations... and, of course, what the talk around the lunch table was about Gio Reyna's goal and celebration.
