    You guys are doing an amazing job and getting better and better each show. I’d love to hear more about the training facility itself and about the residency. Maybe I’m crazy, but tell us about the amenities, etc.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aníbal Godoy talks to Joe Corona about his 2 World Cups with Panama and his leadership role with San Diego FC
Q: ¿Cómo fue la experiencia de participar en dos Copas del Mundo con Panamá y qué cambió entre tu primer y segundo Mundial?
El primer Mundial fue una experiencia de aprendizaje, con mucha curiosidad y novedad acerca de lo que implica un torneo de esa magnitud. En el segundo, ya había una presión adicional por haber mostrado avances y haber llegado con un historial sólido; el equipo estaba más preparado, la defensa era más sólida y nos enfrentamos a rivales duros con una mentalidad de competir y rendir al máximo.
CJ Dos Santos on his surreal World Cup journey with Cape Verde
Q: What was the World Cup experience like for you personally?
It was an amazing journey with a lot of pride, showing that a small nation could compete at the highest level and creating a lasting emotional connection with fans at home and abroad.
The road to recovery with Alejandro Alvarado
Q: How quickly did you have surgery after the injury and what was the timeline like for recovery?
Surgery happened about two weeks after the injury, with a nine to twelve month timeline given by the medical staff; the actual recovery progressed in small, consistent steps under the guidance of the medical team.
The road to recovery with Alejandro Alvarado
Q: What would you tell younger athletes going through this process about getting through recovery?
I would emphasize accepting the reality, leaning on a solid support system, setting monthly and weekly goals, staying mentally grounded, and progressing step by step while listening to medical staff.
Match Preview: San Diego FC at Seattle Sounders
Q: What was the rationale behind moving to a back five during the match against LAFC?
The decision was to balance defense and pressure, adding an extra defender to limit space for the opposition and manage their threat, while acknowledging the trade-off of potentially inviting more pressure.
