On the 29th anniversary of the first-ever MLS game, the San Jose Earthquakes face off against D.C. United, a matchup steeped in history. Bruce Arena, who lost the inaugural match as head coach of D.C. United, now leads the Earthquakes as they seek to revive their season after a winless streak. Arena reflects on the growth of soccer in the U.S. over three decades, while D.C. United's coach, Troy Lesesne, expresses excitement for this momentous occasion, recalling his childhood memories of soccer's early days in America.
It was an exciting time, and the goal was to really elevate the sport in our country, and I think 30 years later, we've done that. Obviously, there's a lot more to do,
It's an incredible weekend for our club and the league. I can remember watching this game when I was 12 years old and trying to find soccer anywhere and everywhere, and there wasn't a lot of it.
