And now, finally, a guest on Defenders of the Banc! Filly and The Scarf sit down with the USMNT legend to discuss everything about his storied football career.
Get ready for previously untold and often re-told stories alike: His humble beginnings from Brazil to Scarsdale, New York and his mean rivalry with nearby White Plains, braving it on the mean streets of Irvine, California with the Strikers, walking on to the squad at UCLA while dealing with bully Jordan Harvey, and roughing it on the second team in Hamburg.
Benny tells the tale of “peaking” at the 2007 Gold Cup at the ripe old age of 22, rubbing elbows with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Kobe Bryant in Beijing, his storied run at Overland Park, hoisting Open Cup and MLS Cup trophies, becoming a part of LAFC’s historic inaugural team, and finally calling it a career in 2020. It’s an hour-plus with the outspoken icon of American soccer.
Hear stories and insights on Zlatan Ibrahimovic (complete with some colorful language!), Lionel Messi, Bob Bradley, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Latif Blessing, Jordan Harvey, Kyle Beckerman, Dirk Nowitzki, and more!
He’s one of our own, and he’s on Episode 107 of Defenders of the Banc!
