In this episode, we catch up with Facundo Bruno, a former American youth soccer talent now living in Argentina.

We discuss his journey from the U.S. to Argentina, the differences between soccer cultures, and the intense pressure and environment young players face in Argentina.

We also talk about the broader cultural, political, and economic context in Argentina and how it impacts soccer. Lastly, we touch on how past experiences with the sport have shaped our perspectives and the importance of non-robotic, genuine interactions both on and off the field.
