Beyond The Pitch - Eric Wynalda

Phil and Anto are joined by US Hall of Fame forward and Fox Soccer Channel studio analyst Eric Wynalda to discuss the Chicago Fire managerial rumors that do not seem to go away given the performance of the team and Eric steps to the plate to explain if he is actually interested in going to Chicago as its new manager. We also get into some of the problems that American managers have in getting jobs and spend a moment to review the Real Salt Lake experience in CONCACAF. We also get into the rash of season-ending injuries in MLS and the possible return of DeMarcus Beasley from Europe and whether the former US International has something to offer the league in present form. We also talk a bit about the Portland-Seattle rivalry that reaches back to the NASL days and the new Fox Soccer Channel show Soccer Night in America to add an element of an event to the way The Beautiful Game is televised in the United States. Eric is always very candid and speaks his mind and gives us a wonderful view on the US game.
