Herc Gomez sits down with Columbus Crew star and rising USMNT standout Max Arfsten to learn how a kid from Fresno made it all the way to Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI.
The two talk about Arfsten's soccer roots playing in the physical, free-flowing environments of Fresno's Latino community and how that influenced his style of play to learning tactical nuances of the game from coaches such as Wilfred Nancy and Henrik Rydström before diving into Max's ambitions for 2026 and motivation to play in the USMNT's home opener in Los Angeles.
