Eric Wynalda    

Former American Soccer Forward, Soccer Analyst & Color Commentator

Eric Wynalda has played over 100 times for the United States including 3 World Cups. He scored the first ever goal in Major League Soccer and became the first American to captain a professional team in Europe.

In his career since retiring from the sport he was the lead analyst and color commentator for ESPN and Fox Sports. He has covered multiple World Cups, UEFA Champions League Finals, and the elite leagues from throughout Europe.

As a coach Wynalda has made history in the US Open Cup, won the NASL, and accumulated the best win/loss coaching record for the Las Vegas Lights FC in the United Soccer League.

When he’s not talking about soccer he’s watching his family play soccer, or he’s strolling down the fairway on his way to breaking par.
