U.S. Men's National Team midfielder and Seattle Sounders star Cristian Roldan grew up in Pico Rivera, a working class town just east of Los Angeles. He didn't play for a fancy club soccer team. He didn't pay for elite private training. And he almost went undiscovered because of it. Now, he's an MLS All-Star and is on the verge of making his second straight World Cup roster. Cristian and his former college coach, Jamie Clark, join the show to tell the story of Cristian's remarkable last-minute discovery, and to reflect on how many more kids like him are slipping through the cracks. Plus, we hear about potential plans to resurrect an Adidas commercial that Cristian starred in as a 9-year-old.
