My Take
I hold real respect for Wynalda as a pioneer of American soccer. A tall California striker, he was scoring goals for the national team back when the domestic game was still finding its feet, helping drag the sport toward credibility. What I admire is the lifelong commitment: after retiring he stayed in it as a commentator on Fox and ESPN, coached Las Vegas Lights, and now hosts his own show, even calling it WTF, which tells you he hasn't lost his bluntness or humor. Players who don't just play but fight to embed the game in a country's culture always win me over.
