#427: Hugo Perez joins the pod

Greg and Belz interview the living legend about the ongoing and
upcoming challenges for the El Salvador men's national team, his
early days of playing semi-pro soccer as a teenager in southern
California, that 1994 World Cup Round of 16 match against Brazil,
playing for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia in the early 1990s, and
much more.
Patrons (link in the shownotes) can hear him speak for nearly
another hour about this current crop of USMNT players, how to get
more out of them than we've gotten, why he left USSF, sneaking into
the Cuscatlan as a kid and whether he'd take a job with US Soccer
in the future. It's a lengthy, fascinating, generous discussion.
