Summary
"We were the promoters of the game. We did funky things... I went on to Conan O'Brien when he was kind of coming up, and I had to play soccer on stage with a bunch of pit bulls. These are the things that you had to do to promote the World Cup back in '94. Now it's different."
Herc sat down with Tony Meola, goalkeeping legend of the USMNT. Tony was a true pioneer in soccer and shared his experiences from the three World Cups he participated in, anecdotes from his best year in MLS with the Kansas City Wizards, discussed the changes in the soccer landscape in America over the past 30 years, and shared a special memory about the presentation of iconic denim kits from the World Cup USA 94'.
