Seventeen years after his retirement as a player, former all-time leading scorer of the U.S. men’s national soccer team Eric Wynalda is in the soccer wilderness of Las Vegas and he’s loving it.
The former all-time leading scorer of the U.S. men’s national soccer team, the 49-year-old Wynalda is the head coach of the Las Vegas Lights Football Club of the United Soccer League. The Lights play in Cashman Field, a downtown baseball stadium that was abandoned by the triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. Advertisements on what used to be the outfield wall include a display for a local marijuana dispensary.
Though his supporters think of him as insightful and outspoken, his detractors view him as selfish and temperamental — in essence, the stereotypical striker. If a storied career as the first U.S.-born player to play and thrive in Germany’s top division was his strongest selling point, it was also his greatest liability.
“I see a man who has a passion for coaching, has a passion for the American player, has a passion for being the underdog,” Lashbrook said.
