In this episode of Salmond Sit Down, Bryan Salmond sits down with one of the most accomplished players in U.S. soccer history, DeAndre Yedlin, for an engaging conversation about his remarkable journey from Seattle to the world stage.<\/p>\n
Yedlin reflects on his meteoric rise through the youth soccer ranks in Seattle before earning a spot with the Seattle Sounders, where his speed, talent, and determination quickly caught the attention of the national team. He shares what it was like becoming the youngest player on the U.S. Men’s National Team roster at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and the unforgettable experience of representing his country on soccer’s biggest stage.<\/p>\n
The conversation also explores Yedlin’s return to the World Cup with the U.S. in Qatar in 2022, offering perspective on how both he and the game had evolved over eight years. He discusses the challenges and rewards of playing professionally overseas, including his time in Turkey and competing in the English Premier League against some of the world’s best players.<\/p>\n
One of the highlights of the interview is Yedlin’s time with Inter Miami, where he had the opportunity to play alongside Lionel Messi, whom Yedlin calls the greatest soccer player of all time. He recalls the excitement of witnessing Messi’s MLS debut and watching him score the dramatic game-winning goal in his first appearance, a moment that instantly became part of league history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 A\u2019ja Wilson scored 26 points, Jackie Young had a season-high 24 points to go…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-775329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
