When we come back, we'll get into some of the recent significant MLS off-season moves right here on Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim presented by Volkswagen.

Stay right there.

Yeah, this is an interesting one because when Chucky Lozano first came in San Diego, casual fans and soccer fans were so excited.

And this is one of those ones, Tim, where you say, how is this going to be?

And unfortunately, what happened with Chucky Lozano is people who started San Diego FC, who are not technical people, not the soccer people, people who started the club said, we need a Mexican player and we need to sign X, Y, and Z because, and ended up really pushing to- Which is valid.

Which is valid.

Which is valid.

As long as the player can perform.

Understood.

And Chucky Lozano was the name they landed on.

They signed him against the wishes of, certainly of the sort of technical staff at the time, who didn't include Mikey Veras yet, but certainly against the wishes of people who wanted to run the soccer side.

But they were sort of forced to sign him.

And you kind of saw this coming.

And then just the way they play and the emergence of Anders Dreyer, what he did at the end of the season.

Chucky Lozano was, I forget what he did at the end of the season, but he was something internal that was not looked well upon.

He got benched at the end of the season.

So ultimately, and I think Mikey Vera said this the right way, we respect him as a player.

It's just not the right fit.

And for Chicky Lozano, if he's not the right fit and he's not going to play, he wants to play because he wants a chance of playing in the World Cup.

And for San Diego FC, they wasted... I mean, I do say that.
