Sacha Kljestan Un-Retires, Plus Takeaways From the International Break
About this episode
Just how hard is it for an MLS All-Star to dust off the cleats after two years of retirement and play in a competitive game?
On this week’s episode, Taylor speaks with MLS Season Pass colleague Sacha Kljestan about his decision to take the field for semi-pro club Des Moines Menace in the U.S. Open Cup. Sacha explains how the opportunity came about, and just how wrecked his body was after playing 120 minutes.
Plus, after an international break that saw almost 100 MLS players represent 33 countries, Taylor explores the unexpected results these breaks can bring—and how MLS provides critical support to U.S. Soccer’s youth system.
