Listen Later

Six players from the most recent USMNT camp are headed to the MLS All-Star Game in Austin, Texas on July 23. Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew), Sebastian Berhalter (Vancouver Whitecaps), Alex Freeman (Orlando City SC), Diego Luna (Real Salt Lake), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati) and Brian White (Vancouver Whitecaps) will have the chance to represent their clubs at the highly anticipated event. 

Patrick Agyemang was also named an MLS All-Star but transferred from Charlotte FC to Derby County in the EFL Championship on July 15. 

On this week’s episode, hosts David Gass and Alejandro Bedoya preview the All-Star Game, breaking down the MLS seasons for each of our six All-Stars and discussing how they contributed to the United States’ run to the Concacaf 2025 Gold Cup Final.  

Later, one of these All-Star selections joins the pod (22:00). Columbus Crew midfielder Max Arfsten takes us behind the scenes of the USMNT's Gold Cup journey and his rise to MLS All-Star status. From laundry struggles to scoring goals, Arfsten shares candid insights on team chemistry, his defensive evolution and freestyle juggling skills.
