Diego Luna.

So-

18 months, Diego Luna's been the picture boy, the front of everything.

And him not being named, I think surprises a lot of people.

It didn't surprise me because Tony, since November, I said he's on the outside looking in.

But I think for the general public and your listener right now, I think they'll be surprised not to see Diego Luna on the roster.

Tony, you know a little bit of the history of my family, so I'll give you a quick story on that.

My grandfather, who played 12 years in Major League Baseball, 19 years pro ball, he was sick and not feeling great.

In 2006, they announced the roster on our network, on ESPN, it was SportsCenter, and God bless his soul, Stuart Scott was with Bruce Arena, who was the manager.

And they told the public that was where the roster was.

My name was not on that list.

Stuart Scott's first question to Bruce Arena is, how does the MVP of MLS not go?

And Bruce didn't answer the question.

My grandfather died 36 hours later.

Wow.

And it was a weird, very, very out of body, if I'm being transparent, experience for me because it was a very pity Taylor, pity this, pity that.

I was really, really perplexed.

I am the answer to a trivia question, Tony.

I'm the only player in U.S.

men's history to lead a team in a World Cup year in goals scored and assist and not go.
