Sounders’ Brian Schmetzer on Developing Obed Vargas, and defending Cristian Roldan from USMNT critics | VAMOS w/ Herc Gomez 11/27/25

Herc sat down with Brian Schmetzer, popularly known as "Mr. Sounder," to discuss his career, from playing with the Sounders in the NASL to becoming one of Major League Soccer's most successful coaches. Schmetzer praises Obed Vargas's character during last summer's heated Leagues Cup Final clash with Inter Miami superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, addresses fan criticism of Cristian Roldan on the USMNT, and offers his perspective on how MLS can compete with global giants like Botafogo, Atlético Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.
