VAMOS w/ Herc GomezThu, Apr 16 | 11AM ETWhat drove Janusz Michallik to CHOOSE the USMNT over playing in England?
DescriptionHerc sat down with USMNT's pioneer Janusz Michallik, a core member of the squad that lifted the 1991 Gold Cup—a key moment for an American program trying to gain relevance. He explains how Bora Milutinović's famous World Tour against teams like Brazil and AC Milan helped shape the identity of the US Soccer team. Janusz shared memories from his youth in Poland, including time with his dad, a national team legend, and his decision to turn down a transfer to play for Southampton in England to pursue the American dream. Plus, his experience of the 1991 Gold Cup victory, and his powerful message about the groundwork his generation laid for the 2026 World Cup.
